UK Politics Thread IX: The Masses Against the Classes

[Dumb Ideologies]

Every vote is meaningful
Every vote is great
If a vote's frustrated
Rescheduled posthaste

[Philjia]

So basically either the Tories throw centuries of parliamentary convention out the window or forty-six MPs have to resign from the party.

Great work Theresa you fucking idiot.

Time for a bit of modernization, methinks. Let centuries of convention crash violently, never to recover. Human history is full of such so-called tragedies.

Is that what happens when you give a three-line the finger?

[Platypus Bureaucracy]

Just a thought. Assuming May manages to get her deal through the commons, won't the lords have to debate and vote on it as well?

They should just kick anything that gets through straight back to the Commons. Don't even read it.

Mad bantz.

Quite possibly, yes, although they may simply be excluded from the parliamentary Conservative group. In any case, three line whip is serious business, which is why only a complete fucking maniac would deploy it on anything other than a budget or confidence vote.

Defying a 3 line whip has historically been a "you're out of the party" offence. May has decided even the ministers won't be sacked from their jobs. STRONG AND STABLE!

Usually it means that the MP gets the chop. But in this case the sheer numbers of MPs is so extreme that it could bring down the government. May's hands are tied, as forcing the issue would be falling on her sword.

I mean if the worst of No Deal Brexit comes to pass we won’t have to worry about a union anyway.

So the government rebelled against itself.

But it can't win, nor lose.

What is this even?!

A pretty apt description..

..one senior EU negotiator (is) describing it as “the Titanic voting for the iceberg to get out of the way”.

One tory mp voted while wearing blacktie yesterday. When asked about it he said it was what they wore when the Titanic was going down.

Statements such as those are always good for another irate screeching session in the Daily Mail. Arrogant eurocrats, amirite? How dare those people have a sense of humour?

May should definitely get a 4-piece strings group together to play out the week.

Wildly Different Political Beliefs? Check
“Ethnic Groups” that hate eachothers guts? Check
Religions that want to kill eachother? Check

The UK seems to have a lot in common with the Balkens

Can I vote No? While planning to vote Yes later on and then No for the next three weeks?

And a country that is pretty much a federation.

Pretty much a rethorical question by now.

[Dresderstan]

Is the government competent y/n

No. I'm sorry but the way this government has been for nearly 2 years has astonished me. None of this would have happened if she didn't call a general election in 2017 and she wouldn't have lost her parliamentary majority. I'd say an extension is needed, and maybe the UK needs to participate in the EU elections, but at this point, I don't know.

Maybe we need to fire Mogg out of a cannon into France. That’s not against the Geneva conventions right?
