Is this right?
The Cabinet Office imposes Purdah before elections. This is a period of roughly six weeks in which Government Departments are not allowed to communicate with members of the public about any new or controversial Government initiatives (such as modernisation initiatives, and administrative and legislative changes).
By calling for a snap general election while October the 31st is within 6 weeks, Boris can effectively prevent opposition to a no-deal Brexit from discussing, or even tabling new legislation, all while avoiding negative press about this particular issue.
So he can push through a no-deal without anyone being able to stop him, simply by calling an election 6 weeks before the 31st October?! |  |

Hopefully they will be able to - it's not the route a country like ours should be taking to force things through. It's pretty shameful that it's even being discussed as an option.

Indeed. But this is Boris, he doesn't know the meaning of the word 'shame'!
This is our Prime Minister FFS. What on earth have we become?! | |

Totally agree, you won't find me showing support for him.
The unfortunate thing is that I can't support JC either (although that is probably mainly because of McDonnell) so what am I left with?

I reckon the Queen should just hold an unprecedented press conference, say she's fed up with her rubbish politicians and is taking over. First off, cancel brexit. "One is doing this for the best of all, as your Queen."
She would go up in my estimation, and would go down as one of the best monarchs in our history! | |

Its exactly what they are doing unless the EU comes back to the table which they have declined thus far.
Its a perfect storm for BJ and his no deal chums and nothing anyone can do to stop it now. |
Although if No.10 take the Uk out of the EU with the current legislation on the statute books it will be illegal
Obviously that can only be tested in the courts after the event and raises the question of Treason |  | | |

Not busy with the family today then Glassers? No interest in the OP, just point scoring.
And lying (again) obviously. I said he MIGHT make a good PM. Very different from he WOULD make a good PM.
If I were you I'd find it hard work keeping up with my dishonesty and hypocrisy. It's almost an art-form. Maybe you could put on a play in Edinburgh.
BTW, before you call me a toddler again, and say I'm blubbing, I'm merely pointing out the facts. Try to drink them in, they taste lovely. | |

You really do have a massive insecurity complex. If I was interested in point scoring I’d go for somebody more worthwhile. Point scoring against you is like shooting fish in a barrel. | |

The reality is all sides know brexit is not going to happen.But don't want to be seen as the ones who finally pulled the plug. This has been the cause of so such delay - though wiser heads might have noticed that there always have been enough votes to carefully push it in the right direction.
Which suggests there will also be enough votes to finish the job. Ask your selves why things have contrived to now be a choice between no brexit and no deal. Could it be that having that choice allows MPs to state that they had to stop this suicidal leap into oblivion.
So cast your minds back and you would find very few, three years ago, who would imagine that brexit had not happened by now and in fact all the talk was actually how to put an end to it once and for all.
We are here not by accident but by MPs also having an eye on their future as well as that of the country. And around 60 nut job right wingers will not crash the UK economy as much as Bertie Bulls it tries to tell uus they will. |
You really believe Brexit is not going to happen.
Most experts saying over 80% chance of a no deal now. |  |

How do you explain your 'contribution' above then?
I'm very secure thanks. I just enjoy calling you out for what you are. THAT is like shooting fish in a barrel.
I'll await your apology for your lie. | |

"But it would still effectively be tying the hands of a future administration. Very bad form."
Indeed. But if that's the rule, what's to stop him? I'm hoping there's some 'special circumstances' clause to stop the white haired buffoon... which is why I posed the OP.
On the face of it, unless someone knows different, Purdah is the loophole he needs. |
Boris is blonde! unless you're referring JC
Trouble is most MPs are buffoons and have between them messed up big time.
However you maybe right and Boris has spotted it as his only option!! |  | | |

I take with a pinch of salt remainers making wild claims as I do leavers as things are always exaggerated from both sides.
However when remainers are saying the opposite of the usual scripted soundbites they continuously dribble out then it carries a little more weight in my flimflammy opinion.

I don't think even you believe that deep down. Be honest. You like what they say because it matches your feelings. | |
