The pound shop commies will be happy though.

It would be a pretty easy job though. I doubt there are any less able than you.

I've already said it won't. A bunch of fantasists, beer-bellied inadequates and teenagers with Nazi fetishes are no threat to anyone except their wives and girlfriends. The vsdt majority of Brexit supporters are decent, law-abiding people and the idea that they are on the verge of armed resistance is utterly ludicrous. There will always be one or two lunatics about but anyone who thinks that Britain is on the verge of a NI-style civil war over Brexit is a fool.

Nothing personal doc, but fair's fair and you need help.

Middle of the road? He is far left.

Whatever.

Could we see bombs in Brussels in the way Thatcher was bombed in Brighton?

Depends what Frau decides to do about the absolutely necessary border she says cannot possibly happen.

Can we have a vote on it?

Will it be binding or just indicative?

Make up your mind, doc, few pages back Brexiters were scum of the earth. Which is your lie this time?

Agreed, for many they will lose their cushy jobs and expense accounts come the next GE.

Proportional representation with single transferable vote? Party list? Maybe ballotage or non-transferable, mixed-member voting, the Wright system, maybe even Scopollo or parallel voting?

Somewhat embarrassingly we seem to be afflicted with people who believe simple majorities are the acme of democracy so it's not likely they'd be interested in any kind of representative vote.

Yes. I expect so. So what?

Not all Brexiters. I was talking about people like you and smeg.

Don't rule out the SNP hoardes joining the fray...

A TD poll on what kind of vote to establish a preliminary vote for the main vote....

Right. I'll form a committee to discuss the implications of a pre-poll indicative preference format. Peveril of the Peak, 2 o'clock, ok?

You guys are desperate to blame him for something, aren't you?

Unfortunately for you he seems to be wise to that. The chances of him buying labour a stake in this shitshow are at least as slim as they were two years ago.

A Marxist under cover of loony Left, but to doc merely a middle of the road liberal socialist.

So sad that someone pretending to be a doc has started believing his own lies.

Next he'll be telling us the EU is the most democratic institution on the planet, with only elected leaders.

After watching May's dire speech of last night and its ramifications, I don't know if the Conservative party can survive the position she's put them in. It's vital for the Conservatives to get rid of her before she forces through her deal with Corbyn's amendments because the Conservatives will have lost so much electoral support that they'll be nowhere in any GE. She has gone beyond losing the plot and all but destroyed her party.

It's a somewhat skewed analysis, ....there is nothing to destroy, Maybot is simply the best the Tories have to offer, the other options are much much worse, hence why she survived a vote of no confidence and hasn't been replaced no matter how badly the Tories shit the bed over and over and over again.

Which of Corbyn's policies qualify him as "A Marxist under cover of loony Left" ?

Schools should have pencils and heating?

NHS nurses shouldn't be visiting food banks?

Or?

Er, no, try again doc, bit of honesty per-lease, never hurt anyone, well not much, you might even survive it.

Go on, have another go...
