UK General Discussion: 2019. Blackadder goes Brexit.

If it seems that the Johnson bill that is identical to the  SNP/LDEM plan of Dec 9 is passed then the optics becomes very bad for LAB.  The election will be about an election that LAB is too chicken to participate in but everyone else then wanted anyway.  In fact that might be be impetus for LAB to perhaps agreed to pass Johnson's plan to go into the election with the Brexit plan passed and not Brexit still not delivered.

Looks like LAB will back early elections.  The optics of having to go into an election while being against the elections finally broke them.

Now LAB is on board for an election I suspect there will be all sorts of LAB-LDEM-SNP amendments on postal ballots, 16-17 year old voting, EU nationals voting etc etc.  If they do this I suspect it will backfire on them as it would just provoke a massive turnout of the pro-Brexit unwashed.
