So are there any indications that the U.K. will vote in the upcoming EU parliamentary election or no?

Another thing I’m curious about is why won’t the EU just cut the strings already? A vote won’t get passed until a new GE anyway, and as of now that isn’t happening for another few years.

209 people arrested in second day of environmental protests

Police have arrested 209 people in two days of protests after climate-change activists blocked some of London’s most important junctions including Oxford Circus and Marble Arch, causing traffic chaos.

The protests, led by British climate group Extinction Rebellion, brought parts of central London to a standstill again on Tuesday.

Extinction Rebellion, which generated headlines with a semi-nude protest in the House of Commons earlier this month, is demanding the government reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.

It’s telling of the British Poster’s alignment here when this is not mentioned, but the CUK’s are a half a page discussion.

You really dont have to come off so aggressively.

When a party polling 1% is talked about so heavily in a multiparty system, especially one doing a moderate approach in a FPTP one, there is no stopping my enragement.

Extinction Rebellion have been at it again today; quite a lot of their stickers turning up in various places on the Tube.

Also chained themselves to the front of Corbyn's house.

Has the Labour Party reacted and given an official statement on the protests?

Its not even really factionalism based on meaningful policy differences on domestic policy - as far as substantive policy proposals a Labour party lead by Corbyn would have similar policies to one lead by a potential future leader who comes from somewhere further right in the party - I'll use Emily Thornberry as a possible example here.  Its based on a mixture of historical differences and foreign policy more than anything - which is probably why it appears so bad since for most people its bickering about things that the people don't really see as important.

Foreign policy is relevant to the national scene, even if voters remained uncaring for it.
