December election plan clears first hurdle https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-50221856 Getting more likely it seems. No vote on 16 year olds and EU nationals. (I think that’s for another day, when it doesn’t look like they are doing it just because of a certain issue) One proposed change that will be considered is a call by Labour - backed by the other opposition parties - to hold the poll three days earlier on 9 December. Hmm, was that really his idea ?
Meanwhile, BoJob has restored the whip to ten of the twenty-one traitorous bastards who lost it earlier this year! Quelle bastarding suprise! Colour me Neon Red Astonished Not.
Boris really might want to consider stopping the refusal to have the vote on the 9th. If its true that the 9th means more people vote that must be a good thing. If its some Labour party garbage notion it won't do any harm. Some Tory guy just claimed it was necessay to hold it on the 12th because of paying the civil service. What a load of crap.
More interesting to me to see what Guto Bebb, Justine Greening, Dominic Grieve, Philip Hammond, Antoinette Sandbach do next. Ken Clarke is standing down I think.
I think this is really overstated. However assume there is some substance here? If after eleven years in government the Tories are still saying the students are cheating and giving Labour more votes, yet have not been able to get off their arses and do something about it - more fool them.
I wonder if labours aim for 16-18 is because those now 18 and at uni, remembered Labours pledge to wipe out student debt and then both Jeremy and john mcdonald denied labour doing so after they had lost
Checking says Burt, Soames, Harrington and Benyon are standing down anyway. Hardly worth Blojobs time talking to them at No.10?
More crap Conservative MP Tim Loughton intervenes in the debate to say schools should not be used as polling stations for the next election. "Frankly, we should not be interfering with children's education," he says. If the one day is so vital (personally I don't think it is), take one off from the summer hols.
..................and when they mention having phographic I.D. to be able to vote in an attempt to combat electoral fraud, Labour start crying foul play. Those nasty, nasty Tories. It would seem advantage seeking and even potential fraud is only a problem for Labour when it does not advantage Labour.
Blojob says "Parliament & Jeremy Corbyn have blocked everything — we need a new Parliament so we can #GetBrexitDone and the country can #MoveOn to focus on the cost of living, NHS, clean energy, violent crime and higher pay #BritainDeservesBetter" Since they have had eleven years to do at least some of these things, why would we all think they will get them done now? There wouldn't have been a parliamentry block on the election, had Blojob not been scheming all the time to pull the country out by closing Parliament when the last extension expired. Either way two weeks of an election delay is a drop in the ocean compared to 572 weeks. How many weeks did he perogue parliament?
Hey, 30 students voting twice would mean a 60-vote upturn. This means 30 students got out of bed long enough to vote. If you are not disturbed by this, I don;t know what to tell you.
They've had eleven years! How much more time do they need? Its the same old BS (from both sides) its always someone elses fault. Well its about time they stopped this, pulled up their sleeves and did their jobs - ideally legally.
