Cerberus Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 There will be a tsunami of propaganda from the majority anti-Labour, pro-Tory, pro-Brexit media. Hopefully the Little Englanders can put their nationalistic tendencies aside and actually examine what they are voting for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories will still need to win by a 2/3rds majority under the terms of the fixed Parliament Act. There are 2 other ways, VONC, straight majority, which brings a 2 week delay, or the "Notwithstanding the FTPA, Ruel St, bring your maw" ploy, which only needs a majority but allows amendments like dropping the voting age to 16.

They're too busy reading the latest edition of the Daily Mail to notice any of the surrounding propaganda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Tories are going to romp it down South with their tax dodging jingoistic xenophobic upper class press barons bringing the tax dodging jingoistic xenophobic upper class politicians safely back into f**k up on our behalf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I hope the SNP play the issue of a GE carefully. It’s pretty obvious that in Scotland it will be good result for us, but we have to look at the wider picture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories had it in their manifesto to repeal, not sure about the other parties. Did f**k all about it though, it's been a disaster. Cameron gets all the blame for this shitfest but Nick Clegg in his European Viceroy position for the Facebook Empire is almost equally to blame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BawWatchin Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Blackfords Freedom of Movement amendment defeated. Only gaining support of 64 MPs. 310 against (tories) and many abstaining like the completely spineless cowards that they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
