Party of law and order?

A remainer's unwarranted twist on what was actually said.

Nobody said anything about breaking the law. In your mind it may be implicit because that's what you want to think.

However, it may well turn out the guvmin has found a loophole or way of not breaking the law that gets us out of the EU.

You need to be more objective and twist things less.

Just not the result of a democratic vote, the largest democratic exercise over a single issue ever undertaken.

Hmmmmm..........

Because he said he would not do this.

And opposition parties have said they won’t bring down the Government before an extension. He should have faced up to the inevitable.

It’s funny how compromise is always for the other side.

The fact that he does not call for an extension seems to fly in the face of you wanting him to break his promise.

Shows he’s scared to put his hold agenda to the people. Brexit supporters know it.

I don’t know why you’re all so worried. If you are right we are leaving. If you are wrong...

It is not at all inevitable. In fact, if he gets Brexit done, he may not go for an election at that stage. We will see.

It shows nothing of the sort. Boris has just had an extremely successful conference. The public will have seen the difference between Corbyn's rant and Boris's vision for the future. It's also fair to say that Boris has called for an election several times now.

jfman · 02-10-2019, 19:15

He can force an election, by simply extending Brexit until after it. He could ask for an extension until the very day after if he wanted.

We'll be at the polls in November. The country is not governable. I suppose with his backers betting £8bn against Britain, why actively risk it?

@Hugh: I've never twisted anything. My view is well balanced.
Whereas your's is entirely a remainer's take with a bent to discredit leavers.

I would think that by now, most people are aware that Boris has (had) no intention of asking for an extension.
Just because he's been 'ordered' to doesn't mean he wants to, and has probably not changed his stance about an extension.
Asking for an extension will gain him nothing - exactly the same as Corbyn if he accepted the election he kept shouting for.

Anyone who actually thinks Boris wants an extension is either incredibly stupid or a troll

I don't believe anyone here to be incredibly stupid

Of course he doesn't want to - no money in that for his pals/donors.

Similarly if he wanted a deal, which nobody believes but the exceptionally stupid, he'd go for an election promising to leave and use his new found majority to tell the EU that he's serious, give us a good deal or we go.

That's what someone acting in the best interests of the country would do.

If we leave without a deal and in bad faith who is going to want to deal with us..How can they trust us not to turn around and do the same with them?

All that leaving without a deal means is we negotiate from a weaker position so will pay more for less. We'll still have to pay the EU what we agreed before they open negotiations.
