Listening to him speaking in New York, incredible language. He clearly does not realise the unattainable position he is in. He's speaking like a head of state riding on a landslide victory. He's strongly disagrees with the ruling... he just said. He'll be proroguing again before the week's out.

It puts me in mind of House of Cards (the Spacey version, I haven't read or seen the originals) - Underwood spends all those years working to get into power only to find it an unending series of catastrophes.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostIndeed. I find it remarkable after all these years of planning and strategising and manoeuvring that such a clever guy could make such a hash of it, so quickly. I don't like him and I don't know I agree with much of what he thinks, but I certainly would have expected him to actually be quite good at holding the position of PM.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostPragmatically, if BJ did decide to resign surely this would trigger a new leadership contest which could take us past Oct31?
Equally, the opposition do not want a GE.
If the PM DID resign then could we have no PM - is that possible? Because the "no no deal" law explicitly stipulates the PM must request an extension if no deal is reached by October 19. If there IS no PM, they don't have to request an extension.
Possible?
A new PM could then be found who had the confidence of the HoC.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostHe should resign because he advised the queen to illegally prorogue Parliament.
Now obviously the Supreme Court view it differently, but the fact that this discrepancy exists simply highlights the fact that his advice to the Queen could have been given in all good faith.
What a great shame that the sainted Gina wasn't so animated when John Major prorogued Parliament for even longer in order to avoid the fallout from the Cash for Questions scandal.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun.

Do you know the difference between in good faith and legal? Say if you need help.Comment

Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostNaturally, but their differing views only became apparent AFTER the fact.
Yes, but in this instance, at the time of Boris's meeting with the Queen, there was certainly no reason to believe that the two were any different.

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostIllegal is illegal. There was a time when illegally suspending Parliament would be seen as a serious matter. But as I've said, the gammons hate British Parliamentary democracy and the rule of law. Fun to watch you squirm, though.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun.
