There’s a majority right now for his deal. He’s using Brexit for a GE not the other way around.
I agree with that, but I also think the Conservatives only need to match what they have to see Brexit through, despite more opposition members wanting to cancel than ever before. Anti Brexit Conservatives will be replaced with Brexit voting ones and those rebels that have recently blocked things will now mean slim victories instead. Once Brexit is done, I can then see another election within 12-18 months fought on other issues.
tbf most of the gains were under Charles Kennedy (and Paddy Ashdown laid the framework). Clegg's share went down slightly I think, but benefitted from disollusionment from a party in power for a number of years.Jo, who I find very unlikeable has a great chance of massive gains due to people (many students jumping Lab to Lib) being fed up of the main 2. Similar to what Nick Clegg achieved in 2010.
The Tories would have lied to us anyway.Horrible isn't it, that policy for the next five years on health, education, crime etc may be on the back of something completely different.
If you've got any sense, don't vote for Corbyn
Jeremy it seems may have changed his mind
What is this reporting? Is it the Election Bill debate, or have you seen something else?Jeremy it seems may have changed his mind
My wife was always a Lib Dems voter. But after they jumped into bed with the Tories she said she would never vote for them again.tbf most of the gains were under Charles Kennedy (and Paddy Ashdown laid the framework).

of course he threw it all away by then betraying why they got that vote in the first place! Another thing to colour an election - how many who may be attracted to the Liberal position will be put off by memories of that betrayal?

Now she is going to register as an expat so she can vote for them again. The Lib Dems are going to get a large part of the expats vote. They are saying exactly what the expats want and need. And there is quite a lot of them. They can vote as long as they never left the UK over 15 years ago.

All over Twitter - can’t get enough MPs to back the motion
So:
Will we actually get a live debate with the party leaders this time or will Boris hide again?
What constituency is that you are talking about?Tbh if you don't live in the constituency you shouldn't get a say in who represents it - when you don't even represent it yourself.
Thanks - haven't been on there much todayAll over Twitter - can’t get enough MPs to back the motion
What constituency is that you are talking about?
Boris is a master debater.Boris isn't a good debater, he abandons his position to attack constantly. Sometimes you need to defend policy as well.
Can see him skipping.
I think it is where you was last registered to vote.Well I was going to ask but instead I assumed - where do expats votes go?
I think it is where you was last registered to vote.
By the same token then you’re saying that EU citizens who live here should have the right to vote in a general election.So my point stands, why should she get a say when she doesn't live there?
BollocksThere’s a majority right now for his deal. He’s using Brexit for a GE not the other way around.
No Brexit in the next parliament? Do you actually believe the bullshit you type or simply trying to be objectionable?They’re going to lose all 13 Scottish MPs for a start.
And Brexit won’t be done in the next parliament. Or the one after that. It’ll be live for a while. If Johnson gets his majority there won’t be an election for five years. If he lasts that long as a moderate with far right MPs
Trickle down nonsenseWhich Johnson will bring - vote for Corbyn and it’s austerity on a level you can’t even imagine
By the same token then you’re saying that EU citizens who live here should have the right to vote in a general election.
OK, but only if they have indefinite leave to remain (5 years proven residency), otherwise they are potentially just itinerant labour or health tourists.?
EU citizens live here, send children to local schools, use local hospitals etc. They should get a say.
Bollocks
But they don’t.?

Agreed though it's something that can be looked at again in 5 years. The Brexit question will hopefully be laid to rest...for now!
In a general election yes. Or should that be no? EU citizens who live in the U.K. can’t vote in a U.K. general election.So expats who don't live here get a say and EU citizens who do, don't get a say.
Fucked up, and I'm a tory
