Just need agent Cob to stop bricking it and get on side! Election Dec 12?

I don't think that's inevitable Jack. All it takes is for the BP to only contest those constituencies where the Tories have next to no hope of gaining. It'd then consolidate the leave and anti-antidemocratic vote there.

The Brexit Party hate any sort of deal. Now Johnson has got one they are hardly going to collaborate with him.

[dannyk13]

ich, he hasn't got a deal yet, only the first stage.

[dannyk13]

TTT, they will only back an election if he agrees to a three month extension of Brexit.

//TTT, they will only back an election if he agrees to a three month extension of Brexit.//

The length of any extension is out of the UK's hands. We have asked for one and it is up to the EU to agree to one and to determine its length. No UK politician has any say in the matter and once again the future direction of the UK is entirely in the hands of the EU - the very reason many who voted to leave did so.

Not lightbulbs then?

I just posted what was on the one o'clock news.

[ToraToraTora]

yes judge, hence the correctly named "surrender act".

[Zacs-Master]

The surrender act was inevitable under the rules of A50 which state we have no say in negotiations after handing our notice in, so to speak.

[ToraToraTora]

if that's true why did the EUSSR even pretend to negotiate? I mean they did negotiate the MayBo deal didn't they?

[dannyk13]

Zm, that doesn't quite agree with having a transition period to allow for negotiations.

[Zacs-Master]

Well, if you call negotiation saying OK to a set of conditions then.....yes. Which shows they’re more democratic that some make them out to be. It’s a shame the people we elected as a democratic process then said no, isn’t it?

Makes you wonder about the specifics of democracy don’t it?

[Zacs-Master]

Where does it say anything about a transition period for negotiations, danny?

[dannyk13]

Agreed between us and the EU,

[Zacs-Master]

Ok. Where does it say that the transition period was for negotiations?

[dannyk13]

Stop being pedantic ZM. The transition period was agreed for negotiations relating to trade deals etc.

[ichkeria]

Johnson hasn’t got a deal?
Has it all been a dream?

And what’s more most Brexit Party supporters seem to support it.

[Zacs-Master]

Sheesh. Ask someone to prove a point with facts and your ‘pedantic’. If you can’t find any danny, don’t worry.

[dannyk13]

ich, it is only the first stage in getting a deal. The bill has to come back for a second reading before it goes to the Lords.

[Zacs-Master]

OK Danny, I’ll do some research myself......


The transition period was for the UK to do trade deals with other countries NOT the EU.
