Boris at it again and the contest to replace the lying c***

[Papper]

So we haven't had a second referendum. Good to know.

What percentage vote in an election is valid?

If Johnson polls less than half of those that are qualified to vote is his tenure legitimate?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That’s irrelevant. No matter how much your argument desperately wants it to be the case, an election for the European Parliament is not a Second Referendum. The end.

We had a second referendum earlier this year and Brexit were returned heavily. If treated as a single issue ( The Labour Party weren't sure whether they were IN or OUT) then the result of the original referendum was rubber stamped quite emphatically. Westminster did not reflect the population, As Cox said ' This Parliament is dead '. It was remain while the majority of the electorate were leave. May's Treaty was not Brexit and NO Deal was a ridiculous course but I suppose all comes to down to that old chestnut of ' Did we know what we were voting for ' ie more subjectivity in order to overturn the vote.

No way you can claim the EU elections as a second referendum. No one gives a shit about them and to a voter they represent the free-est of free hits. I think if we held an actual 2nd ref the turnout would be significantly higher.

Nope, just Brexit Party members in my experience.

I have edited your response as the word 'retards' can cause offence. Again this says a lot about you as a person.

Thank you. There are a number of posters on here who use various iterations of the word, adding a prefix to -tard which i have called out before. There is no need for it and people wouldn’t use versions of other offensive words.

Sounds like the Arcuri interview is going to be packed with political dynamite. Hopefully somebody competent in opposition can make use of it, but I’m not exactly holding my breath.

Probably best to let it speak for itself - the more the opposition attack Johnson, the more it firms up his support.

Ok. Point taken.

I wouldn't hold your breath - smack on the wrists perhaps. Mandelson resigned twice yet went on to take prominent roles later.

So Bozza is now getting tough on knife crime. Vamping up stop and search - previous offenders targeted - this'll please the middle classes in the leafy suburbs. I am not entirely sure hiring twenty thousand coppers will make much of a difference when money may be better spent on understanding gang culture and the lives of those disaffected.

Wanted to put this on the Dave thread, but it's been locked.

Professional lickspittle Nicky Morgan stays as Culture Secretary, despite not even being an MP.

 

[Johnny75]

How does that work? I didn't think you could be a minister without being an MP

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Elevated to being a life peer (because I mean she's so indispensable, what with her political achievements of er, nothing) and hence back in the game.

You don't have to abide by democracy if you don't want to.

It is unusual, but the last Labour government (remember that?) did it twice.

anyone know why boris is so keen to enshrine stuff in law (nhs funding, no brexit extensions...) when he has a history of ignoring the law and lying to the queen?

It's just posturing- anything enshrined in law can be unenshrined just as easily.

If I were more cynical I would say it were a way of allowing Johnson's mates to make a killing by shorting GBP
