Not necessarily, an alliance of the others in a coalition attains 51 to that 46. If either the Greens or the SNP don't join, the alliance would still probably lead. .

She wouldn't have given a damn, never acknowledging the Scottish part. She was an East End cockney and proud of it. First I knew of it was when I was four and my mother called me into the hall and said, "This is your grandmother". And the elderly lady who I'd never see before said hello in...

Wasn't always "was safe" either. MP Airey Neave was blown up in his car in the House of Commons underground car park in 1979, both legs blasted off and he died in hospital within an hour. And in 1984 the Tory Party conference hotel in Brighton was blown up, five killed including one MP and...

Agreed, but a very large rise in support for the Lib Dems would be the most effective way of making the main two parties change. .

Who are the working class? I'd thought they'd almost disappeared long ago. .

That's always been unfair, they didn't win power and their Tory partners would never concede PR. It's the electorate's fault those policies weren't implemented, since only a small minority of Lib Dem MPs were elected. I guarantee, elect them into power and proportional representation would be...

Worth the risk if they got into power, we'd get proportional representation at last. At the moment we are stuck in the silly situation where a majority don't want either Labour or the Tories but still consider the Lib Dems to be a wasted vote. Of course if they all plucked up courage it...

It doesn't have to be Corbyn or Johnson, there is a Lib-Dem party. If enough people expressed their disgust at Labour and the Tories, the Lib Dems could get in or at least hold the balance. .

Although English, albeit with a half Scottish mother, I've actually stayed in the Gorbals back in the early 1950s. .

If you consider the following: That the advice of the Attorney General was that proroguing was legal, that the English High Court agreed and the Queen's advisors didn't disagree. That the PM's action was therefore not known to be illegal at the time. That the public voted by a majority to...

That's good, happy for you. .

That would make him a clone of Boris! .

Instead of being able to afford nice cars. .

To be fair to him, he really only made one mistake, one of establishment arrogance. That was being certain Remain would win the referendum. .

Probably realised it's best to lay low until the current Johnson saga works its way through to a conclusion. .

In all the mentions of Johnson perhaps attempting another prorogue now, none seem to have realised that the Queen's advisors would certainly advise her to say No after the Supreme Court's unanimous ruling. That would probably have been already relayed in advance to prevent Johnson even trying...

And losing in the Supreme Court will further increase his popularity in any General Election that might occur, with even Brexiteers normally supporting other parties likely to support him. .

That was always certain, being eminently pre qualified by being the worst Foreign Minister ever, not to mention being the worst Greater London Mayor. .

You didn't respond quoting that post, you replied to this one, where I wasn't wrong. Once again I have to show you that I'm always right in the end. .

So you are saying the Supreme Court's unanimous decision was wrong, and that parliament was prorogued? Clearly it's you who is wrong. .
