Again. He’s literally refusing to push the Brexit deal through unless Labour agree to an election.

Face it, you just love Boris and unquestioningly follow what he says. Even when it’s against your own interests.

Do the maths. If you were born in the early to mid 1930s you'd likely remember the war but at the time of the referendum you'd be in your late 80s now or very likely deceased.
Anyone born in the 40, 50, and 60s isn't going to remember Ww2 and certainly are old enough not to give a toss about these "meme" twattish things online.
I think they're your audience here aren't they? So you're well and truly out of touch.

It may be another case of winning the popular vote but not the electoral college. Especially with the further gerrymandering and ID needed to combat (almost non-existent) voter fraud (which mainly occurs on the Rep side by people fooled by the right-wing rhetoric and do it to 'even it out'.

Bernie is quite hard left for America, especially in 'red' states whereas over here he's thought of as quite reasonable left wing.

Peronally I'd have loved to see Michelle Obama go for it. To see Trump not just beaten by an Obama, but someone black AND a woman. Sweet! Plus she's very good at public speaking and she's wipe the floor with Trump. It'd be fun just to see him have a meltdown live on TV in a debate.

Except he isn’t hard left for the USA-the public is on board with the vast majority of his ideas. He polls particularly well in the mid West which won it for Trump and he has a lengthy track record of being anti corruption. The American public is much less conservative than its lawmakers.

TBF, when budgets were cut It was up to the old bill where they made those savings. It was easier under police regs and contracts to make the older coppers retire when they'd got their 30 years service in and simply no replace them. There were still loads doing investigations and back office work that a civvy could fulfill. What the should have done was make those who carried a warrant card and weren't on restricted duties get back on the front line.

When cuts were as deep as they were what else were they going to do?

You are spectacularly missing the point.

The people who use war imagery and go on about Blitz spirit and sticking it to the Germans are a bunch of posers who weren’t born during the war.

He’s only got this far because the remainers pushed him. You’re welcome by the way. The last time we pushed something through Parliament this quick on the word of a PM we invaded Iraq of the back of a dressed up dossier that received no scrutiny in Parliament. If the importance of proper scrutiny is lost on you from that lesson then you really are lost.

He's tried to get it done by voting down the WA and resigning from cabinet. This practically forced May to step down and have a Tory leadership contest (which is what he wanted), wasting even more time. He's tried to push the debate back as far as possible by proroguing parliament. He's held back the Withdrawal Agreement from parliament to scrutinise.

The only thing you could argue he's done to get Brexit done is try to push through the WA on a speeded up processes, but even that when put to even slight scrutiny is disingenuous. He went for that knowing it was very unlikely to be agreed to. So what did he do? Threaten to pull the WA entirely and demand an election, which will take another further month from the timetable. Not because it helps Brexit, but because it favours him.

Didn't think it'd matter anyway, because you were certain the EU wouldn't grant an extension?

When Teresa May lost her majority at the last election she was consistently polling at over 40%, just before she announced an election she was polling in some polls nearer to 50% which with a margin of error allowed could have actually been over 50%. I wouldn’t be staking anything about an election going the way you think it will. Even if current polling is correct at best case scenario the numbers in parliament by all analyses of the polls predict no change except for gains for the Lib Dem’s and SNP. Even with Labour losing predicted seats a Lib Dem/SNP/Labour alliance could well be a likely outcome for the next government. The Tories seem to be on their own, they’ve burned their differences with the DUP (from the feet I know on the ground I think the DUP may well take a hiding in a general election anyway) and a pack with the Brexit Party (should they get any elected MP’s anyway as it looks like the only thing they’ll do is split the leaver vote to the detriment of both the Tories and Labour) seems unlikely anyway unless the Tories come over to a hard brexit. I really struggle to find a scenario where a general election goes the way you think it will.

Why aren’t we seeing that in the polls then? All the Brexit movement has been between BXP and Tory. Lexiters won’t vote for Farage or Johnson.

Johnson is also less popular than May amazingly. Though Corbyn is even less popular than before.

It’s all going to come down to turnout and tactical voting. An election out of term time will hurt Remain parties, but from what I’ve seen Brexit voters don’t pay enough attention to politics to effectively vote tactically.

Gonna be close.

Again that was the thinking in 2017. Corbyn is unelectable so have a quick election, larger majority, can push whatever we like through.

I'll give you Boris is better at getting people to like him than May but the way things are recently I'd take nothing for granted. There are sadly a number of people for whom who they vote for in a GE is too ingrained to change no matter what they say before hand. When push comes to shove they put that tick in the box they've always put it in.

You clearly believe it. We're not all as gullible.
Go and speak to someone born in the 1930s or 40s. Lots voted remain.
