"BJ wants election on 12th December - but does he have the numbers for a vote regarding the FTPA or a possible vote on no confidence in themselves? We wait and see Labour’s response." BoJo and Trump have no numbers, but both have Facebook. Facebook and other social networks are spreading so much fake news, specially days before an election; if you have a Facebook account make the following experiment: stop watching it for a month and notice how less you hate the people you see around you. Facebook control our thoughts and manipulate us through the constant news it bombard us with when we're just scrolling up and down... News of Nigerians coming to invade us, Turkey joining the EU, the random citizen from Essex (no names given) being hit until he lost his memory by a ganng of Muslims thought to have enter th UK illegally or (this one's commonly used in Germany) the random 75 year old lady that was forced to have group sex by 15 refugees thought to be mauritania... If you believe you're too intelligent to filter all the fake news Facebook shows you whilst you scroll down, then good luck with that. In conclusion, with Facebook and other social networks as sources of massive brain washing trump can easily be re-elected and BoJo can easily win a GE. The Solution starts by getting rid of your Facebook account. | |||

"A general election will solve nothing . " And a second vote will rip this country apart more. Let's say leave win, most MPs will still try to get us to stay. Let's say remain win, every one who voted leave twice will say ok fair play we remain. Get real. | |||

"A general election will solve nothing . And a second vote will rip this country apart more. Let's say leave win, most MPs will still try to get us to stay. Let's say remain win, every one who voted leave twice will say ok fair play we remain. Get real. " Agreed as far as the General Election is concerned. However a second vote will only further entrench both sides if it is an equally close result. If as the leave side claim there has been a significant move in their favour they will be vindicated by an increased share of the vote, if however there is a significant swing in favour of remaining in the EU then article 50 can be withdrawn and the rump of leave supporters can reasonably demand a change in the law requiring all changes to EU treaties be subject to legally binding referenda. Of course this will not happen because the EU referendum was really about uniting the conservative party and bolstering its support amongst 'the swivel eyed loons' of the flag waving right, while dividing their opposition, and nothing has changed in that respect. | |||

"Corbyn refused to go for a GE, saying he wanted a "no deal" Brexit off the table. Now a "no deal" brexit is off the table..... so why are Labour still running scared?" I think the polls will give you the answer you need. | |||

"We need to sort out Brexit first. Why? Because an election should not be on a single issue. We need the withdrawal bill sorted, and whatever amendments need to be added. Then we can move on. " Exactly  | |||

"he has seen the backlash to his "deal" re: northern ireland, the longer it sits out there the worse it will be torn apart.... thats why he wants his election, because he couldn't keep to his oct 31st promise, and if he lies about his deal what else is he going to lie about..... the longer it sits out there... the more of his voters he loses to the brexit party!" Fabio the longer this shit drags on which party do you think will suffer the most voters wise the tories or labour ? | |||

Are you subtly implying there is a chance to win for the brexit party? I don't know how to avoid any trompo related news as the fucking cunt is all over on the internet. But know I will move to a jungle in Laos if the brexit party wins a GE: I won't be able to endure another fucking cunt being all over in the news, internet... Seriously. | |||

"Reading the comments it’s easy to see why this situation is so messed up. We need certainty, government and opposition must compromise on the withdrawal bill. Thats the priority, elections can be fought in a few months time. Brexiteers need to accept that a deal needs to be done and there are conditions on our departure. Remainers need to stop trying to replay a result, over and over again. Accept we are leaving and work on the deal which reduces the impact of leaving. No more soundbites from both sides of this or that. No more posturing or threats Both sides need to put their heads together and get a result for the entire UK. Don’t both sides see how much damage they are doing to the reputation of this country? So wind your necks, start figuring out what is the best way to solve Brexit on which everyone Agee’s on " 100% of those that voted in the referendum agree that they want to be equal or better off to the current position as members of the EU. Everyone that voted to leave did so because they were told they would be better off. Everyone that voted to remain did so because they were either happy with the status quo or did not believe that it was possible to do better outside the EU. Zero people voted to leave requesting to be worse off, because the leave campaign gave express assurances that this would not be the case. There is NO MANDATE for any leave with lesser damage. The only mandate from the referendum is for leave with deals in place to be at least no worse off. | |||

"The second referendum for a fixed offer of departure should need a significant proportion of voters, as it's the highest risk strategy, say 80% or more. It's so far cost £billions in evaluation and trade losses etc but hasn't delivered the promised simple solution giving any benefits and is going to cause significant damage to millions. " But that is what people voted for, didn't they? Remain said we'd all be poorer as a result, and still people said they wanted it regardless. Why shouldn't they get what they voted for? | |||

"Labour aren't doing well in the opinion polls, so they're not in a rush for a election. The SNP want an election sooner than later because Alex Salmond is on trial in Febuary next year Jo Swinson is after Tory Seats so they are good to go. Boris wants to 'get brexit done', he has finally got some momentum and really has no option. The DUP (bless them) have a world of pain ahead of them. They probably would lose a seat if there was a pre christmas election as would SF. I understand the 12 of December is the last date available be polling station availabilty. Ho Ho Ho" Just about sums it up in a nutshell .The end game is in sight i can see the eu holding out with their extension letter and then corbyn will have to sound his own death knell by calling an election.Macron is on record as saying he wants this done now and knows if they give an extension to 31st jan it could end up with the same result as the 31st oct deadline.I wont be surprised if the eu letter does not arrive until next thursday. | |||

"On the day of the referendum, the Conservative Party had a majority in Parliament of 12. Enough to proceed with implementation of the result, one might think. The next election wasn't due until 2020. In that time, the Conservative Party has failed to deliver Brexit and now has a majority of - 45. As fuck-ups go, that's pretty spectacular.

They had no need to do so - until Mrs May realised she could not rely on her own party to deliver Brexit. All part of the Conservative Party's giant clusterfuck. | |||

"The entire thing is a clusterfuck made in the Conservative Party. Do you remember the demos in the street, the millions marching for independence? No, neither do I. The referendum was simply a cynical ploy to keep the Conservative Party in power. Party interest before national interest. Which has given us this giant clusterf*ck called Brexit. This lot must rank as the worst set of politicians ever to hold office in my lifetime. " Cameron, May or Johnson, all equally culpable in their own ways. And all worried about the threat posed by Mr WillofthePeople Farage Equally the British Media are culpable in this. JC couldn't hold his tribe together. They effectively neutered themselves.

"Here's a thought about the next general election. Imaginary by the way but an interesting idea I think you'll agree. Stop Press news.......... Next general election to be held using proportional representation. However the labour party, Brexit party, SNP and DUP etc etc are all to be banned with just the Conservatives and Liberal democrats being allowed to field candidates. Isn't that a bit like what the referendum was like isn't it ??? It makes no sense to hold votes like that does it ? " I have an actual example of this from the local elections. I went into my local polling station. At the time Teresa Mays deal was thrashing around and I wanted to express my protest by voting liberal democrat at the lack of progress. Well you can guess what happened. There were 2 seats up for grabs and guess what............ only 2 labour and 2 Conservative candidates on the ballot paper. Basically I was fucked. I thought shit the bed Rick. I do not want those labour candidates loose with my vote, I really do not believe in what that shower want at the moment. What should I have done. Walked out the door and not voted, No I decided I had to make the best of a bad job and voted for the 2 conservative candidates. It was the only logical thing to do. | |||

"Zero people voted to leave the EU with no deal, because the manifesto of the leave side promised leaving with immediate deals in place that would be better than being in the EU. Any suggestion from the remain side that these promises were not possible to keep was denounced as "project fear". The only leave mandate given by the referendum was to leave and be better off. If this promise cannot be delivered, then the only remaining option mandated by the referendum is to remain a member of the EU." https://mobile.twitter.com/change_britain/status/1161553730996711424?lang=en Seems to be a lot of remainers in this video clearly saying that the default was to leave without a deal. So when I voted I knew exactly what the options were, either a deal or no deal. There was also no option of a second referendum, and as for those saying it was an advisory vote and not a legally binding one, I think it was pretty clear it was a one off vote and that the result would be carried out regardless! https://mobile.twitter.com/change_britain/status/1116381401383706626?locale=bg So let’s just get it done and get on with life! | |||

" As regards the intention of leave voters at the date of the referendum, it is immaterial what the remain message was. The unrefutable historical fact, recorded on video, newspapers, internet, is that the leave campaign stated unequivocally that on leaving the EU there would be more money, no loss of jobs, trade deals lined up around the world. In reply to every criticism they invoked "project fear". The manifesto for leaving was that everything would be better than being in the EU. The referendum gave no mandate for leaving and being worse off. That option was explicitly ruled out by all campaigners of the leave side. | |||

There was also no option of a second referendum, and as for those saying it was an advisory vote and not a legally binding one, I think it was pretty clear it was a one off vote and that the result would be carried out regardless! https://mobile.twitter.com/change_britain/status/1116381401383706626?locale=bg So let’s just get it done and get on with life! " I am sure we would all love it if Brexit just disappeared into history but it was an advisory vote and Cameron had neither the imagination or the cojones to stand up in Parliament and say that he had made a monstrous and ill-conceived fuck up so he fucked off and left everyone else to pick up his shit. The lies told by the leavers and the political indoctrination carried out by Cambridge analytica via Facebook were evil and should have had consequences for them but to save face this bunch of crapheads running the country had to run with the idea. In the future when its all done and dusted people will look back on this as a monumental failure of leadership and I hope Boris, Farage and Rees-Mogg will be humbled by it. As for Dominic Cummings, the sooner he fucks off to some position in the pay of his American masters the better - he’s a psychopathic posh bully who hates the working classes. | |||

"Corbyn refused to go for a GE, saying he wanted a "no deal" Brexit off the table. Now a "no deal" brexit is off the table..... so why are Labour still running scared?" But it's not actually off the table yet. That's the problem. | |||

"so all you in favour of a second referendum answer me this what would happen if leave won again but say for eg with 50,000 votes? What if? The first referendum was advisory make the second legally binding , big difference so you would be happy with that then ? just asking." No I wouldn't be happy. I'd be very very sad, but at least I know that people genuinely voted for it knowing what it was and I could probably live with that. | |||

"Zero people voted to leave the EU with no deal, because the manifesto of the leave side promised leaving with immediate deals in place that would be better than being in the EU. Any suggestion from the remain side that these promises were not possible to keep was denounced as "project fear". The only leave mandate given by the referendum was to leave and be better off.

"Leaving Boris in purgatory unable to get his bill through unable to get an election flapping around like a kipper,twisting and turning to no avail is the best option for labour.Let him make more do or die promises let him lie some more . It’s also deliciously entertaining.. "It might be entertaining for some but jobs are being lost and people are probably dying as a result of this. Yes it's great fun isn't it. | |||

Well Johnson it doesnt seem so simple now does it. You have alienated 21 of your own MPs . You have lost most of your votes already...You are a sad delusional blowhard....If it wasnt for the fact that your stupidity is costing us all...I would let you wriggle and squirm, and smile as much as Theresa May must be doing at your treachery being rewarded with your lack of talent being exposed to us all."

"Labour have made boris the underdog fighting for the people. Can't believe they are so thick and fell for it. Labour are dead just not been buried yet. " Fighting for people? He fights only for himself and his rich friends. Time to open eyes blinded by hypocrisy. I can't believe that people still believe in his liar and ineptitude. | |||

"A general election will solve nothing . And a second vote will rip this country apart more. Let's say leave win, most MPs will still try to get us to stay. Let's say remain win, every one who voted leave twice will say ok fair play we remain. Get real. Simple, the second referendum doesn’t have remain as an option, just the Boris deal an no deal??" | |||

"Reading the comments it’s easy to see why this situation is so messed up. We need certainty, government and opposition must compromise on the withdrawal bill. Thats the priority, elections can be fought in a few months time. Brexiteers need to accept that a deal needs to be done and there are conditions on our departure. Remainers need to stop trying to replay a result, over and over again. Accept we are leaving and work on the deal which reduces the impact of leaving. No more soundbites from both sides of this or that. No more posturing or threats Both sides need to put their heads together and get a result for the entire UK. Don’t both sides see how much damage they are doing to the reputation of this country? So wind your necks, start figuring out what is the best way to solve Brexit on which everyone Agee’s on 100% of those that voted in the referendum agree that they want to be equal or better off to the current position as members of the EU. Everyone that voted to leave did so because they were told they would be better off. Everyone that voted to remain did so because they were either happy with the status quo or did not believe that it was possible to do better outside the EU. Zero people voted to leave requesting to be worse off, because the leave campaign gave express assurances that this would not be the case. There is NO MANDATE for any leave with lesser damage. The only mandate from the referendum is for leave with deals in place to be at least no worse off." I voted leave I thought long and hard and decided even if I'm worse off even losing my job it was worth it so don't think it's 100% | |||

You have to laugh ? Leave voters were warned this would happen, some were stupid, some were naive , all were lied to, they have noting to complain about . "Leave voters were told, vote leave and we have two years to negotiate a deal or leave with no deal on wto rules. The only thing leave voters were lied to about is when all parties said they would accept the result. Here we are three years on and not left yet... why? Not because of the negotiations, because it was stated before the vote a deal in two years or no deal, but because those that said they would respect the result are blocking it at every turn. I don’t want a GE because I don’t know who I would vote for. I can’t vote for the people I have done since I had the right to vote as they have disrespected my brexit vote. I won’t vote tory, so I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place, splitting the brexit vote and voting for a brexit party hoping that they and the tories would get a majority to get brexit through and that the brexit party could push the tories into other domestic policies that benefit the whole population and not just the richer portion. | |||

The politicians continue this charade that it's their Politics that will solve the issue. If you remove the politicians from the equation the basic Ballot paper was........... A Leave with a deal or , B Leave with no deal or C Remain with David Cameron's remain deal. A general election potentially does not solve the basic problem if as we had in 2017 we end up with another hung parliament. Teresa May was heading for a landslide right up until the week before the 2017 election but then Labour with their Master stroke realising they couldn't win Promised our youngsters a pot full of gold which swung a big chunk their way. Who is to say the same thing will not happen again. | |||

p.s the reason why the 9th and not the 12th is super smart by the lib dems is that
a) it shuts down the WAB from coming back... so johnson will have to run on "this deal"
b) that is the last week of the university term... and they are still likely to be in their towns on the monday..... than they would be on the thursday...
which means the lib dems will have better shots in places like leeds north west or sheffield hallam for example

""Mr Corbyn previously said he would vote for an election once a No Deal Brexit had been ruled for the next few months, but the party has suggested in recent days that the government must rule out a disorderly departure at any point." So.... JC wanted to wait until a "No Deal" Brexit was off the table, but now looks like he's running scared again, and using any means necessary to avoid one." . Labour are not scared of a General Election , they are scared of a no deal Brexit , as we should all be , unless of course we are the super rich ., | |||
