Old Mother TimW's predictions for the near futu

Boris is looking like a disaster before he even takes office. A series
of incoherent false claims about what he can achieve is not enough. The
Tories up until now have been desperate to stay in office and avoid a
General Election. When Boris gets started they will begin to realise
that the longer they stay in power the worse the election will be. They
will begin to see an election as the only escape, NoDeal being closed
off by parliament and NoBrexit being unthinkable.

So we will have an election. Soon. One dominated by the nastiest
negative campaign against the Labour Party ever seen, for the simple
reason that the Tories have nothing positive to campaign on -
achievements since 2016 being er, none. The effect will be to drive
voters away from both main parties (and the bxp) in disgust, even more
than now. There is nothing to make me think the BXP can get anywhere in
a real election since they have no policies and people like Ann
Widdecombe to speak for them. The result will be a massive, stonking
great majority for a a Lab-Lib-Green-SNP coalition.

The single issue of the election, uniting the ruling coalition (under PM
Swinson? Watson? Sturgeon? Difficult call) will have been a promised
second referendum. The result of the referendum will be to give the
coalition a very clear mandate to cancel and shelve Brexit forever.

Farage will become a lonely drunk in the pub talking about his glory
days. The Tory party will limp on into the future as a hard right racist
eurosceptic alliance of themselves plus BXP and BNP. The coalition will
get on with governing and legislating for a better future of equality,
tolerance, fairness and prosperity inside the EU.

After that my crystal ball becomes misty and clouded.

You've missed a few bits out.

Boris will call an election. He will say he is the party of Brexit and
will get the best deal by removing the no-deal legislation. He will say
if you vote for TBP you are voting for Corbyn.

Fanatical remoaners will vote for the LibDems taking votes from Labour.

Fanatical?

Looking after their intereststs and that of their dependents when the
alternative is certain disaster financially and socially?

That isn't fanaticism, it's basic common sense.

Whether the Tories win is going to be a close call.

Yes indeed. They were scraping the barrel in their choice of Boris. I
wonder if his puppetmaster is eligible for PM choice.

If they lose the LibDems in collaboration with Labour will call a second
referendum. They will struggle to move forward when the result is once
again 8% more Brexiters voting for Brexit that remainers voting for remain.


The polls suggested that the brain dead geriatrics that were so keen
on Brexit have become even more dead.
A further 3 years of no better deal. LibLab pact then falls apart and
history repeats.


But plenty of amusement for the rest of planet earth. Thanks to idiots
like Boris and his knuckle dragging followers, the UK is tremendous
entertainment, well worth my Irish TV license BTW.

Brexit is almost as side splitting as "The Young One's" used to be.

Keep it up knuckledraggers, your planet expects a strong perfomance.
