Renton 27784 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 So 6 months flexible with conditions. Honestly sounds like a prison sentence. Embarassing. In 6 months time, what then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 8362 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 If PV2 became clear, we'd get the extension until March 2020. That sounds like the final date anyway - October is better expressed as the date by which No Deal occurs if we still haven't got any semblance of a plan.

We're contesting the Euro elections. That's a big deal for the Tories. It's going to be incredibly important for us to vote for Remain candidates in that.

ewerk 39233 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Do European elections have much impact on party funding? Not the campaigns as such but the funding you get from winning a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Labour aren't fully and clearly behind PV2 at this point they should be obliterated at the EU elections. It's a perfect chance since it doesn't harm them domestically but does send a very clear message. What we are going to need to accomplish this, however, is some manner of figurehead for Remain. Not Vince Cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 18039 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 There's nothing wrong with running your country on the basis of referendums, Switzerland does it and they're all right... wait what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 8362 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 It's interesting that Francois is now the main poster boy of Hard Brexit. JRM a busted flush due to his late support for May's deal? Potentially good news for us anyway - while Francois and his ilk are getting all of this attention, they're not going to back down from their positions, this making May's deal impossible unless Corbyn enables it. And you'd have to hope he isn't stupid enough to do that without PV2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read earlier that they've allowed themselves the possibility to extend it to March 2020 by implicating some manner of review in mid-October. If the wheels are in motion before then, they'll let it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63200 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Tusk basically conceded that we could probably extend again in October. Realistically if we told them in June that the only way out was a referendum, they'd give us the time. Ditto a general election. The October thing was entirely down to Macron being a little cunt. It would have been December or March if not for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 8362 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Yeah Macron was playing a weird game last night but ultimately it doesn't matter much. If we're going to get this referendum it's going to happen quickly. We need to be absolutely insufferable about it now Edited April 11, 2019 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63200 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Ian Dunt has written an article saying that the idea we need to hold the referendum by October is wrong. We just need to agree to hold one and set the ball in motion. That'll be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but when I say quickly I mean it'll probably be the first thing on the table once May 22nd goes past without a deal being agreed. Once the Tories have to fight the EU elections, I think PV2 will be the only way forward to stop the damage to themselves - and that really is all they seem to care about.
