    General Election 2019 thread

    disagree mate. As I say, other parties are trying to move away from the status quo to benefit themselves. Never even heard of MPs trying to amend who can vote right before an election

    General Election 2019 thread

    It’s an election that rightly or wrongly will be about Brexit, why would you change the rules to allow millions of people to vote against you ? He’s not changing the status quo ! If he was saying all over 60s get two votes each Id understand your point shmmeee ! Agree WAB should’ve been...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Johnson’s said NHS is not on the table (link on other thread) If it’s a case of US companies having the ability to supply the NHS, I’ve got not issue, as long as it’s competitive tendering/procurement process. If it’s a move towards their insurance based system I’d be totally against (but can’t...

    Not really, it’s the other parties looking to move goalposts to benefit themselves. Why would you allow that as government proposing bill ? Would be crazy

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Depends what the trade surplus/deficit is (also if the trade partner is a major competitor in certain industries)...amongst various other considerations If a country is keen to export more to us, why wouldn’t they agree a free trade deal Addressed the US - NHS on other thread. Might be...

    General Election 2019 thread

    Hard to evidence my position as it’s not even up for discussion. Johnson was quoted saying the NHS wouldn’t be on the table in any deal with US though. Boris Johnson to tell Trump NHS is 'off the table' in post-Brexit trade deal What we are talking about here though is changing the whole...

    Nonsense Clint. We won’t ever move to a US model, the country would never accept it. I usually take on board what you say on various threads but this is just scaremongering

    General Election 2019 thread

    Wonder if labour will regret not voting for the bill last night. If the WAB was debated and passed pre election then they could’ve moved the debate onto domestic policies/issues (to some extent) and burst the Lib Dem/Brexit party bubble a little however painful, an election needs to happen as...

    I was saying how they were going to pitch it. Doesn’t sound as good... ‘Get Brexit to the next stage’ to be fair !

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Kind of what I was saying above. I’d have done it differently (at least try to get WAB vote pre election break up - let opposition vote against)

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I know, I checked the days expecting they’d be Friday v following Monday. It’s been the only reasoning I’ve heard for the three days difference though. V strange I agree

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Guessing he thought deep down it wouldn’t get through without heavy amends/further delays. Not sure I quite agree with his strategy ie if unsuccessful tonight, I’d separate out the election and WAB votes (before 8 Nov)....revised WAB timetable probably wouldn’t get through anyway but at least he...

    surprised they didn’t try to squeeze a few more yards up the pitch. They had time for one more effort pre field goal

    They want the students to be able to vote more easily ie before they head home for Xmas (apparently). Not sure I get it to be honest

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Presume it’s on the basis that if the remain parties win enough seats they will ensure ‘no deal’ doesn’t happen. Facts appear to be.... Tories want Brexit done pre election so they could say they delivered and remove risk of Brexit party. Won’t happen now. Best alternative is to accept Lib...
