Rebels win, ~20 rebels I'm guessing.
Don't let door hit you on the way out.

Inertia.
Like there must always be a monarch, there must always be a government. We aren't Belgium. Even when Parliament is dissolved and we have zero MPs we still have a government. The government remains the government until there is a new government able to replace it. Same as in 1979 and 2010
328 - 301. Next up: will Parliament let BJ call an election?

He persuaded all but 21 [22 including Lee] of his MPs, those 21 have been expelled. If there's a General Election and the Tories are returned with a majority those 21 won't be a part of that majority and won't be able to stymie him.
Incidentally we lost fewer MPs last night than we did through May's hubris. We lost 28 MPs at the last General Election.

You've lost 22 MPs in one day, without even needing to trouble the voters. Let's see what happens next time a PM rolls the dice.Incidentally we lost fewer MPs last night than we did through May's hubris. We lost 28 MPs at the last General Election.
Who knows where this chart will go in the next few weeks?
EDIT: For the sake of clarity, I don't expect it to go anywhere good. This country is fucked.

Yes, if.
Does anyone disagree that this Parliament is patently incapable of reaching a decision? Even when they took control with the indicative votes they rejected every option.
Fine by me for them to go. Let more join them if need be.You've lost 22 MPs in one day, without even needing to trouble the voters. Let's see what happens next time a PM rolls the dice.

That chart is reassuring. I'm very pleased with that chart and I hope the trend continues. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Conservatives touch 40% soon.
When asked a series of yes/no questions this parliament is incapable of reaching a decision. The only way to get a clear answer is a ranked preference vote (deal, no deal, withdraw article 50). I don't know if it's possible for parliament to use this voting structure. It seems unlikely that another election will resolve the fundamental problem, but obviously it is theoretically possible that the UK will elect enough MPs that support a single viable option.

Labour's position is that they will support a new GE only after legislation to block no deal.

... in our planning for moving our Euro-clearings operation from London to Paris ... my boss originally said to me not to worry too much, with all the shambles and disagreements Brexit will never happen.
I'm starting to wonder if he was right
The problem Boris has in the election is that Farrage is going to split the Brexiter vote unless Boris comes out explicitly for a hard Brexit, which will alienate remainer Tories or conditional Leavers. The other problem he has is that he's Boris Johnson and he has a pronounced tendency to chat a load of incoherant shit (but also on his good days he's charismatic and does well with voters).
The problem Corbyn has is his voter base is split between remain and leave, and also he'll need to have a position at least somewhat palatable to the Lib Dems because he a) doesn't want to lose Remainers to them and b) might need them to form a government.
I think there's everything to play for in the election. I wouldn't even start to try and predict what will happen.

I think Farage's fox is well and truly shot twice over. Boris unlike May was a leaver and was the face of Vote Leave and the famous bus etc. Secondly by expelling the likes of Ken Clarke, Grieve, Soames etc he has been unequivocally clear.
So Boris says he doesn't want an election but clearly does.
Corbyn won't stop saying he wants an election, but is voting against one.
Court has ruled proroguation is legal.
In an ironic twist the interesting development tonight is the Lords could kill the Benn bill. The Lords have no tradition of curtailing debates so Labour and the Lib Dems were worried the Tories could filibuster the bill and have put down a motion to curtail the debate. The Tories have put down 86 amendments that each need 2 hours of debate and a vote. The Lords is going to run 24/7 it looks like but if the Tories filibuster until Monday then Parliament can be prorogued and there'd be no bill, no extension and no election.
Now some Labour MPs are after another vote on May's deal, because why not.

Not no deal but not immediately no brexit.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I found the missing "no" tellers. Apparently Aimless is hoarding all the negative expression forms.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
Nice try, but I'm not telling
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
And Corbyn too chicken to have an election. Nevermind.

Meanwhile, Rand appears to have a lot of confidence in UK's *political processes* -- even tho that seems to be falling apart.
Governing by referendum (or ranked-preference) only sounds like a good idea after the political processes have already broken down. That's what makes Brexit and the Leavers so confusing: their biggest problems are internal, their process remains the same, and leaving the EU doesn't change that.

Revoke the 1972 Act.
It's more likely that the speaker will stop the clock.
Does the UK actually have a government any longer anyway? The buffoon hasn't won a single vote since he was launched by the blue wash brigade brexitards.
Congratulations America
