But a serious answer to the question is that the left are always expected to compromise, even when they’re the ones with the numbers, whereas the centre left and centre right get sympathetic coverage for their history of supporting war crimes and taking money from property developers/private water companies/the Saudis.

This is a masterful piece of drafting:▫️ All stages of the Bill in Commons on Wednesday▫️ 2nd Reading at 3pm, all remaining stages 5pm to 7pm▫️ Govt cannot try to prorogue Parliament this week - this motion takes control of NI Executive Act and prevents a debate before Monday https://t.co/iiUFeMZK5n— Chris White (@cgwOMT) September 3, 2019

BREAKING: Nigel Farage confirms Brexit Party won’t stand against Conservative candidates in an election if Boris Johnson promises to leave the EU without a deal. “Of course we’ll put country before party.” Massively helps the Tory vote, while the opposition is divided @BBCr4today— Paul Brand (@PaulBrandITV) September 3, 2019

how many of those brexit party votes are from labour? I know probably not loads but they aren't strictly all going to transfer to boris if they don't stand are they?
― calzino, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:11 (six years ago)
They will if Boris promises no deal and to nuke Brussels

sorry if this is a dumb question but wouldn't being all out NDB ultimately still split the vote in favour of LibDems? I don't see how he gets a stonking majority (quoting that twat from guido) from this
― calzino, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:16 (six years ago)
xps to Fizzles - UKIP stood aside for Leave Tories in 2017 using the same logic
― gyac, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:17 (six years ago)
My worry is the melts splitting the anti-Tory vote, prospect of Johnson with a functional majority is pretty fucking terrifying however much Cummings will bring the horrible lulz
― Joe Proroguin' (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:18 (six years ago)
The Brexit Party is going to be very dicey indeed for Johnson. I don't see how he could possibly commit to no deal in an election, having spent so much time pretending he's trying for a deal. We're heading for another hung parliament I'd say, if govt is defeated today
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:20 (six years ago)
Yeah I don't think he'll commit to no deal, Farage is transparently trying to game him and I think he won't bite
― Joe Proroguin' (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:22 (six years ago)
Yeah, this is the rub - their coalition is fucked. Having a Brexit-party manifesto will be a total gift to resurgent LibDems. And the converse would be true too.
Second ref in the Lab manifesto should help a bit w/the melts, I think. And Scotland will help too. xxp
― stet, Tuesday, 3 September 2019 12:24 (six years ago)
Boris has not promised to leave the EU without a deal - even if we all know that's what the plain is - so I assume the Brexit Party will be standing against Conservative candidates in any forthcoming election.

Have just spent a week with brexiteering in-laws in Dorset, who say they would still vote Farage in an election. If Johnson can't win over the retired brexiteer southern England constituency, he's in trouble

Based on nothing much more than my own ill informed theory. I think the current polling flatters the Brexit party somewhat and election conditions will concentrate minds and votes elsewhere and the tories will be the main beneficiaries. I think Farage is overplaying his hand and team boris know it.
