Europe, Referendum & Brexit (formerly Europe..IN or OUT??)

A General Election in October? November? Turnout might be high but the weather will play a significant part as a lot won't bother to vote if it is cold and wet, but we will see.

I always think a election in October or November is not a good choice for a sitting government I am fairly sure that a sitting government has not won a winter election.

Well at the moment there won't be an early Election yet as Boris lost another vote tonight For 298-Against 56 motion was defeated(this was a motion to call a General Election) The opposition leader and others abstained so Boris made a joke about it. Coming soon: BREXIT- The Movie and a stage play which could be a total farce

British politics has been made to look a laughing stock mate

Corbyn was down May's throat with threatening a no confidence vote. When Boris tried to call an GE Corbyn abstained. Corbyn is a C**T

The HOC is full of nutcases who should be packed off to the nearest funny farm and never heard of again. They have shamed this country time and again over the last three years and still won't implement the will of the people. Disgusting behaviour by the whole lot of them and they should hang their heads in shame.

And all because the Tories were terrified of losing some seats to a now defunct party, UKIP

Strictly speaking he won that one. For 298-Against 56 is a win, but not a big enough win. It fell well short of the two-thirds of MPs required.

thats because nearly half abstained

And let's face it both main parties would lose probably nearly half of their seats to Brexit or Lib Dems. If that proved to be the case, then we would have a parliament where no party would have no real working majority and I really can't see either Labour or Conservatives really offering Brexit a coalition deal because I know Farage wouldn't work with either in a coalition.

I think the simple reason that they won't align themselves with the Brexit party like so many are suggesting, is because of Farage getting into No 10 and probably kicking Boris out which would be far worse than Corbyn in No. 10!!

Love Sun in Scotlands headline better than the english one attacking Corbyn

Looks like we might be getting a GE before Oct 31 after all as conservative peers apparently filibuster the new bill in Lords to make labour agree to GE
