We will now launch the most ambitious and radical campaign for real change our country has ever seen.” -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-10-29 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stevenl Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2019 The preset condition clearly has not been met, and with the polls showing a big loss for Labour, it looks like he felt he had no choice anymore and that further postponement would be even more devastating. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JusticeGB Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2019 Just face saving. The European Commission has said that no changes can be made to the deal already struck so no extension after 31st January next year will be allowed. 31st January next year will be BREXIT with or without a deal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess the next will be rather like the current The degree of alteration will depend on the quality and reputation of those who stand and win, as well as the priorities of the voters. Any change may also depend on how many present MPs do not to stand all, or who are dropped by their own parties! Candidates of any party, who can best show that they may be trusted and can demonstrate that they are the most likely ones to carry through their manifestos will be the most likely winners in marginal seats. That is the way it should be and it is more likely to happen this time (for a change) because most voters realise how important this election is and also because that trust in many individual MPs has been lost completely. 3 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhippy Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Do remember that the population is still split (about) half-half on Brexit, and that only 2 small parties have a clear view on Brexit..... The saga will continue..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AussieBob18 Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2019 Well done Boris. Took his drop dead date off the table to force an election to let the People decide. Corbyn clearly thought Boris would never do that and he sure looks like he doesnt want to go to the Polls, but give him his due, he has stood by his word. The single issue election that UK had to have - Brexit or No Brexit. Choose the lying two faced Pollie you think will best deliver on their promise the outcome you want. Will Boris and Nigel form an alliance and deliver Brexit? Or will Jeremy, Nicola and Jo form an alliance and deliver a No Brexit? It is gonna be very close I think. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JonnyF Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2019 Loads of Remain MP's bleating on Sky News right now, looking close to tears and complaining how a defeat for them wouldn't represent a Pro Brexit vote as the election would be about roads, schools etc. Yeah right.

Bear in mind Jeremy himself as always been anti EU. That's why he never really campaigned properly against Brexit pre referendum. He wants UK out of EU and preferably out of NATO. Then he can build much closer relations with the countries he admires, like Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, etc 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, don't like them, vote them out. But again, also you are ignoring the issue, ' An MP can't do his/her job due to harassment, '. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
