Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[Lord Camomile]

If the Queen tells Johnson to fuck off, I will sing the national anthem at the next sporting event I go to.

Can't say fairer than that.

tom watson who bigs up nonce fantasists?

Shouldn't be a problem for him in that place.

in the people's democratic socialist republic of britain you will be served mushy peas and you will like them

Now you're getting it

 

[SpackleFrog]

I'm not even close to 100% on Watson, I think he's tarnished a little bit although I admire his health transformation.

I'm afraid your opinion isn't going to be a factor. Sorry.

I still have starmer as next LP leader at 10/1from about 2 years ago - can currently get him as next PM at 16/1 as well

A lovely dream, but a dream nonetheless - with all this Albert stuff blowing up Queenie won't want to rock the boat by getting involved in politics any more than she has to. Plus, the current rhetoric of "taking back control" and "will of the people" could very easily lead to abolition of the Monarch if she sticks her nose in where Boris and co thinks it doesn't belong.

No doubt, but as this is a discussion about Brexit, my own opinions naturally form a part of what I post here.

Starmer is, in my opinion, the best bet right now - however, he's only really distinguished himself in the policy arena surrounding Brexit. Post-Brexit would need a leader with more than just opposition to Brexit under their cap.

don't be silly now

No silliness - the Queen and the Monarchy exist because they don't get involved in politics and effectively serve as a rubber stamp for the government of the day. I'd like to think something might occur that would push Queenie into saying "enough is enough" on principle, but it would set a precedent for the Royal Family being involved in politics actively. I doubt Parliament would like that, what with sovereignty and all.

not sure unelected monarch obstructing leader of elected government ( however much you may dislike that govt ) from carrying out the democratic mandate of the electorate ( however much you may dislike that mandate, and his interpretation of it ) is something to get the bunting our for ?

She won't and you can't sit with us at sporting events either.

Break up the union, remove the monarchy, expose the ruling class for the useless tossers they are. As far as I'm concerned Brexit is going swimmingly

Can't say I'd mind too much - although I'd like Scotland to remain part of the Union of their own choice, if at all possible, they're a good bunch.

I don't think the queen actually has any real option. . . But I would have thought if she was going to say no it would have already happened and boris wouldn't even be 'officially' asking.

Just more incentive, from my POV.

Oh I know, I'm following the example of our glorious leaders and making promises I'm confident I'll never have to follow through on.

Yougov just asked me what I thought of proroguing parliament, I told them I thought it was an awesome idea obviously

 

[Lord Camomile]

Could the other MPs not just organise their own meeting at a local pub and/or community centre?

Guardian link (only one I could find on short notice) but Rory Stewart has already suggested something along those lines.

All that left is for MP's to organise a coup of their own and install their own leader to overturn the referendum result

i note you tacitly admit they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery

Huh, they moved (almost suspiciously) fast!

I've been hearing rumbles of an alternative Parliament for the last few days, but whether it materialises...

And that would be something - a rogue Parliament! What interesting times we live in.

Disappointed to see the Guardian agreeing with me:

Boris Johnson’s intention is clear: he wants a ‘people v parliament’ election | Tom Kibasi

What a fucking shit fest

 

[treelover]

Will certainly drive some the 'rebel' tories (I know) into Corbyn's 'big tent' for legislating against ND

i have alsways though Corbyn may end up as the accidental PM, just as he did leader.

one way to improve it would be the news that boris de pfeffel johnson had drowned in a septic tank or similar

that's one shit fest we could all get behind

I'd prefer a less messy, grassy knoll solution

I'd feel too bad for the guys who inevitably have to fish him out. Surely there's a way he can remove himself without causing anyone else any more misery?

Why are they going down the pan then? Unless that means... oh
