I certainly hope so listening to what all the parties are going to do for us will cheer us up, until December the 13th

Wonder if it will actually happen? Not many MPs seem to be on board.

The Grand Old Duke of Corbyn will march his 'troops' half way up the hill and back down again and again and again. 
Si I wouldn't bank on anything.

I suspect you'll be disappointed.

...............like the DUP? Anyone who thinks  Boris is a man of his word is delusional.

Johnson, Corbyn, Swinson, Farage, Blackford are all acomplished liars and none will answer a question without resorting to obfuscation and disingenuous facts.

'Politician is a man of his word', one headline you won't see about most of them. But carry on being selective.

Why do we need an election? Did not the people speak in 2017? They elected their MPs  and it is obvious (from the result) there was no 'overwhelming' majority for any particular political party nor for a particular political view. The public decided what they wanted was a balance and that that balance would work out a fix.
Why do we need another election when this was decided in 2017?
As we keep being told you can not have two bites at the cherry. Once a vote is held then the will of the people can not ever be challenged again for any reason. All the 'traitors' who want another election are just upset their views are not in the majority. Unable to accept this they want another go.
What if they fail again?
Do they intend to hold another election and another  until they get the 'right' result'.

Remove the word election and put in the word referendum, it just seems to be the same argument.

Really?  What a coincidence!

Yes, the people did speak in 2017 ..... sadly the MP's immediately decided they weren't going to keep their manifesto promise and proceeded to drop the mask and reveal their true colours.
If they'd kept to their 2017 election promise, we'd have got the MP's we'd elected.
We didn't, just weasel words from weasels.

It isn't leavers or remainers who have polarised the British public it's the politicians of all shades who have failed to enact the will of the people, unfortunately the animosity created by their decisions will last for years.
