Hi all,
The plotting on how to prevent brexit has reached feverish levels. The latest idea is that the remainers overthrow the government to stop a disastrous "no deal" ( in reality these people want to stop brexit entirety). But who will lead this coup and form a "national remainer unity government?"
Polly suggested Margaret Beckett, others Rory Stewart. Yesterday green MP Caroline Lucas called on the top ten women to form a female only cabinet (notice cis and no ethnic minorities , plus no men . How progressive and woke). Lucas decries brexit as a coup by a minority of "right-wing libertarians"; I guess that's why a counter coup led by a party with 1 MP is necessary. The guardian even speculated who could be in the cabinet, but I'm disappointed Greta Thunberg and Gina Miller aren't getting a mention, given the gravity of the situation.
Needless to say Jeremy as Corbyn isn't happy about this and says he should lead the unity coalition. In true socialist fashion this apparently means getting a taxi to Buckingham palace to tell the Queen "we're in charge".
There's also the "constitutional crisis" meme. In fact it isn't any thing like. It's just that the losing side in a referendum held three years ago simply can't accept they lost. They've been campaigning ever since to stop brexit. They've been destroying precedent , using arcane and obscure parliamentary procedure to prevent it.
Yet when Brexiters suggest proroguing parliament it was considered an outrageous suggestion that required further parliamentary machinations by remainers. In fact if they hadn't been on such manoeuvres they'd be no constitutional crisis , the gov could get on with brexit as per the previous overwhelming vote in the house and as voted on by the people of this country.
But who could lead the remain coup?
Over to you.
