#this is all a big yikes if that wasn’t clear in the post

outlanderalien:

So it’s been a shocking week Politically in the UK, and there’s big stuff planned later today, so just to catch everyone up:

. Boris Johnson wants a No-Deal Brexit but knows that elected MPs in Parliament will not support a No-Deal

. He has made it his manifesto that by the 31st of October we will be leaving without a deal, if he backs down on this, it will likely spell the end of his leadership

. To get around this, Johnson has announced he will Prorogue Parliment. Prorogation means suspending Parliament essentially, to end a session and start a new one

. It’s usually normal procedure and that’s how he’s selling it, but he’s timed it perfectly to his advantage. Parliament already has very little time to put legislation in place to stop No-Deal. Now they have lost an entire month

. In order to sell this move to the public, he’s begun to convince people that elected MPs are working against the public, and that he is working for the peoples interest by silencing Parliament. Hardcore Brexiteers are cheering this move, shouting “drain the swamp” in response

. Parliament opened today after it’s recess, but by the 9th it will be prorogued. The opposition parties and Rebel Tories have to work quickly to vote in legislation that will prevent a No-Deal. The rebel Tories play a key role in this, and the governmrnt aren’t happy about it.

. You might have heard of Dominic Cummings, he’s Johnsons right hand man and believes the party should be ruled by fear. Because of this, new shocking developments were announced

. Aware that 22 or more Tories could vote in favour of an Extension to the Brexit deadline, Johnson has announced that any Tory who does so will have their “whip withdrawn” This essentially means the MPs will be suspended from their party and will not be able to run as Tory candidates in elections

. This is unheard of, especially since Johnson had frequently voted against Theresa Mays government himself. It has already scared some MPs into backing down.

. The vote is due later today. That’s when we’ll learn 2 things. How many rebels stand up against Johnson, and whether Johnson will truly go through with evicting those rebels

. This vote is considered one of the last chances to stop No-Deal
