  2. All history now, if Boris keeps his word...

     

    Quote

    The government will abandon its Brexit bill if MPs vote down its three-day timetable to get it through Parliament.

    Boris Johnson told MPs if the programme was rejected and the EU confirmed a delay to the 31 October exit, he would instead push for a general election.

    The PM said Parliament had been "caught in a deadlock of its own making", and he would "in no way allow months more of this"

    Bercow an excellent Speaker. Well at least for anybody following the actual reason for stopping Boris trying yet again to bounce Parliament.

    He told May the exact same thing, he is not making the rules up, he is referring to Erskin May

    After UK saying "No" to all options ( Remain, Leave with TM deal, leave with no deal, leave with BJ new deal) the EU is expected to make last minute concessions to end the saga..  the Art of the "No-Deal"  

    It is obvious there is only one thing the UK can do to stop this fascicle nonsense going on and on...  Revoke Article 50

     

    Then it will be over by 31st October.

    So the E.U. would have to be bold enough to keep the 1 or more veto(s) against extension as a real possibility treat ….?

    Because I really regret Blondie's deal was not accepted (yet ) as I t was a good one for us E.U. …..this from E.U. point of view , understanding the opposite U.K. remain view .

     

    As just as with the Titanic..., it is at last resort every one for himself ….! E.U. was not leaving...U.K. decided so …. this as my excuse for the different choice if could be possible, sorry chaps ... ????

     

    Blondie... I listed things that he has lost in the last 12 weeks on the first page, that list is only going to larger, there is the Queens speech,  the 31st of October deadline, a vote of confidence, the leadership of the Tory Party, a General Election, maybe even his constituency seat, I predict all before Christmas.

     

    The only thing he will not lose is a vote on the Withdrawal bill because as he proved yesterday he was not going to win so he chickened out after Left Wing Ollie's amendment was passed, so he will present it time and time again only to chicken out every time it get's to the Division because he does not have the numbers.   

     

    The guy is a loser...

    All 27 EU leaders have to agree for a new Brexit extension to be granted and they will grumble, they will moan and they will stamp their feet (metaphorically, at least).

    But, if push comes to shove, with the alternative being no deal at all, then, after more than three years of Brexit process and negotiating two Brexit deals with two UK prime ministers, I cannot imagine the EU slamming the door in the face of the UK now.

    If the House of Commons refuses to approve the new Brexit deal in the next couple of weeks, then granting a new extension would be in EU leaders' interest. They are keen not be blamed by their own citizens for a costly no-deal Brexit.

    The fact they know that when the no deal by default exit is bolted shut, there will be a General Election and probably another Government and another referendum that will revoke Article 50.

    The only mess is the politicians shafting the peoples vote, now you want another peoples vote just in case it goes the other way, then the politicians and you can all relax if it does. If it did, then you and they are treacherous individuals..

    So lets make sure we do not leave by default on the 31st October, then we can have a General Election, as it has been pointed out the referendum was not binding nor did it make clear on what terms.

     

    So lets have a General Election and then if the new Parliament so wishes a Binding Referendum.

    So they could expect HOC. speaker J Bercow , in case appointed by the proper legal instances..., to come with the correct letter demanding extension…?  

    The letter would be a farce...

    As the only way to sort this mess out is with a legally binding Referendum, and only with a clear majority indicating they want out on the clear terms agreed with the EU would Brexit happen else we will revoke Article 50, that will take time to organise with the referendum likely being held in May 2020, so an extension to 31st of June 2020 seems more appropriate.

  10. Well I see charges now of, "Contempt of Parliament" although he may have found loopholes in the hastily conceived Benn act, he knew of its intentions and the views of Parliament in bringing this law that he may have circumvented with in the law but he has clearly been disobedient of Parliament's wishes. 

     

    Parliament The Commons has the power to charge him with and can suspend or expel him.

    Quote

    MPs accused of contempt of Parliament may be suspended or expelled. They may also be committed to the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster, although this practice has not been used since Charles Bradlaugh was detained in 1880. Strangers (those who are not members of the House) may be committed to prison during the life of the Parliament. The House of Lords has the power to fine as well as to order imprisonment for a term of years.
