^ Imagine

- Labour gets its will and no election before Oct. 31 or so, so that Johnson cannot avoid sending that letter;

- voters of the Tories being so pissed by Johnson that they give Johnson one in the eye and so

- Farrage's UKIP gains an absolute majority, and then completes no-deal-Brexit.

:har: :har: :har:#

Corbyn pissed. Johnson pissed. Tories pissed. Labour pissed. Brussels and the EU pissed. And Farrage grinning his wide monkey grin.

And you now what? I think it is not even a completely unrealistic scenario. Not after the past three years.

In the words of Kryten you bet your ass.

Upper middle class area you would not think that walking the streets on Friday night.

I have in this forum seen the word Civil unrest a few times.

Will this civil unrest happen whether UK leave EU or not or if it leaves with or without a deal ?

I hoping it wont. I'm suggesting its more likely if the courts interfere in a major way.
but if Brexit got flipped via a GE or a 2nd referendum, that might not be so bad

That said, I'm also betting if we do leave on the 31st, some Brexiteers will go out celebrating, and we will be hearing some horror stories the day after about the more unsavory ones.

I have a great idea to solve the Brexit deadlock problem, Europe gets rid of the EU thus solving the Brexit problem. :up:

You might have to wait another decade or three before that happens. :hmmm:

Whilst I agree anything is possible in these uncertain times I don't think the scenario you describe is ever going to happen.

Oh and Farage is no longer the leader of UKIP, he is the leader of the Brexit Party :03:

Hard to say Markus but I sincerely hope not.

Talks between the UK and European Union will not take place this weekend as anticipated after the European Commission said Boris Johnson's new Brexit proposals "do not provide a basis for concluding an agreement".

It is looking increasingly likely that it is going to be 'Do or die'

I highly doubt anyone but the Tories are able to take a parliamentary majority at present. and even their chances on that are very slim - as they'll get wiped out in Scotland.
We'll probably need another coalition.

The most solid coalition would be SNP and Libdems probably, they are united on quite alot of issues, especially brexit. IMO they would probably need Labour as well to form a majority.
And Labour are in such a fractured mess I doubt any one would want to work with them at the moment.
Cons and Brexit party would be possible, but messy - they'd butt heads alot. Cons+BP would be the most likey winners at the moment IMO.

Jimbuna 10-05-19 06:40 AM

I'd certainly agree with you on points two and three but doubt the SNP and LibDems could muster sufficient numbers to form a government.

I'd personally go for a Tory Brexit coalition.

yeah i thought about it and edited, They'd need to unite all 3 major pro remainer parties probably.

The government has confirmed it plans to prorogue Parliament next Tuesday and hold a Queen's Speech on 14 October.

Boris Johnson's last attempt to suspend Parliament in this way was ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court.

But the government needs to bring the current parliamentary session to an end, before it can hold a Queen's Speech setting out its agenda for the next session. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49913130
There certainly shouldn't be any drama this time round.
