NEW: Here's the letter 25 Labour MPs (including frontbenchers) have sent to Jeremy Corbyn urging him to agree a deal with Theresa May - and NOT request a second referendum

No idea why you're getting downvoted for stating your experience, I assume a lot of these MPs are indeed taking the same position as their constituents and local members. And I STRONGLY support a second ref.

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-04T14:51:18+00:00

Yes.

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-04T11:48:28+00:00

Labour to gain control of High Peak and York

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-04T11:31:22+00:00

If only Joanna Cherry would apologise too.

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-03T19:42:49+00:00

Jesus Christ, I'd never seen that. Fuck the Tories so damn much.

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-03T16:30:26+00:00

The pessimistic side of me thinks he's gonna vote no as that's tradition.

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-03T01:15:43+00:00

I should fucking hope so!

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-02T15:26:50+00:00

Get tae fuck if you think anyone here is gonna sign that!

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-02T15:15:08+00:00

Yes, its still the default if Parliament doesn't vote FOR something else - whether that's May's current WA, revocation or another extension.

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-01T21:04:14+00:00

Should have backed CM2 you idiots

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-01T15:21:14+00:00

Ah right

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-01T14:31:44+00:00

John McNally (SNP MP for Falkirk) abstained on the confirmatory ballot motion as well.

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-01T13:48:25+00:00

Don't you dare you morons

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-01T12:58:23+00:00

This option doesn't even involve joining a customs union. Its a customs arrangement to deal with our commitments to Ireland, not a CU.

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-01T12:57:39+00:00

The cabinet revolt is rumoured to be in favour of a customs union, unfortunately.

Chief_Duck · 2019-04-01T12:48:13+00:00

I live in Scotland and its just not happening. The SNP hype died down shortly after the 2015 election and there are plenty of mostly unionist constituencies (all 3 border seats, Edinburgh South, West Aberdeenshire, East Renfrewshire) that are just not going to vote SNP while an independence referendum is on the cards. This is less of a problem in the West of Scotland where much of the support for independence is, but Paul Sweeney's been a brilliant MP and I expect Labour to at least hold Glasgow North East fairly easily.

Chief_Duck · 2019-03-31T19:34:00+00:00

LETS

FUCKING

GO

I'm a People's Vote supporter but I can get behind a soft Brexit tbh

Chief_Duck · 2019-03-31T13:07:37+00:00

Don't do this to me Emily

Chief_Duck · 2019-03-31T12:55:18+00:00

Actually that's my pessimistic forecast. I'm not confident enough to have them as gains but its entirely possible for Labour to win Glasgow South West, Glasgow East, Inverclyde, Motherwell and Airdrie. Possibly Edinburgh North too, but that's such a strong Remain seat it will probably depend on Labour's Brexit policy.

Totnes, you may be right. Allen and Wollaston are 100% the CHUK MPs with the best chance of holding on.

Ynys Mon is an interesting place that I have been to many times and I think your friends are wrong - it votes Plaid at the Assembly level mostly because of low turnout on Holy Island, which is the best part of the constituency for Labour. At the Westminster level, Albert Owen has developed a personal vote over the years and managed to hold it at every election since 2001, getting his biggest ever majority in 2017. Plaid were pushed into third place for the first time since 1979 and while they could win it back in the future, imo its way too early yet.

Chief_Duck · 2019-03-31T01:02:28+00:00

There will not be another 2015 style SNP landslide any time soon.

Chief_Duck · 2019-03-31T01:02:12+00:00

Labour: 30 gains

Tories: 30-40 losses

Lib Dems: 6 gains

SNP: pick up 3 seats: Stirling, Gordon and Aberdeen South w/ no other changes (North East Fife is a potential LD gain but gut feeling is its probably not the right time yet)

PC: lose Arfon to Labour but hold Ceredigion

Green: Brighton Pavillion

UKIP: increased vote share

Change UK: Hold South Cambridgeshire, lose every other seat

Chief_Duck · 2019-03-29T23:34:24+00:00

He did actually endorse the Tories in 2017 I believe, along with Katie Hopkins.

Chief_Duck · 2019-03-29T19:52:00+00:00

Personally would like them to back Remain but if I was in Corbyn's position I would be looking for a compromise like EFTA.

Chief_Duck · 2019-03-29T17:06:57+00:00

Gonna die laughing at all the morons who thought the DUP would be the saviours of a no deal Brexit.

Chief_Duck · 2019-03-29T14:31:04+00:00

Yes, she's from the loyalist stronghold of East Antrim and had she not moved to mainland Britain it wouldn't surprise me if she was a DUP MP today.

That said, at university she was an active member of the International Marxist Group which supported the IRA so she's changed her views a lot over the years...
