By what mechanism can it be taken off the table?

Sh! Corbyn believes it has already been taken off the table.Don't tell him otherwise.

[Bigbad]

I was wondering that.
Yesterday, Corbyn didn't want the old folk going out in a cold and dark December to vote. Today, December is fine by him!

i could never get my head round Mr Corbyn's stance on no deal, and the table it was supposed to be on. surely if there's an election and Labour win, he could take no-deal off the table himself, couldn't he? or was he so sure he wasn't going to win?

[davebro]

I think he's realised the more he runs away the worse he will do in a GE.

"if there's an election and Labour win, he could take no-deal off the table himself, couldn't he? or was he so sure he wasn't going to win? ", no deal is the default, it can be avoided by kicking the can down the road, revoking A50, or doing some sort of deal. I do not see how you can "take it off the table".

[davebro]

PS. Turning out on a cold dark winter day will pail into insignificance as a deterrent compared will all those (of us) who have vowed never to vote again.

[davebro]

*PALE*

[Old_Geezer]

It can't be. If one fails to continually get extensions and no deal has been ratified then we're finally out no-deal. It's just been pushed back again for now, courtesy of remainer MPs and an uncaring EU.

[Old_Geezer]

It can be taken off the table by revoking the people's choice.

He also said that December vote would effect the students vote as they would be ut of residence.

I heard on the Radio that it wouldn't effect them at all as they already have two votes, one in the halls of residence and one at home.

[Jackdaw33]

Not so. That applies to council elections but you can only vote once in a GE.

[Old_Geezer]

He seems to think that the EU has taken it off the table. I assume it's just a poor way of saying that the extension means it's not likely to happen for now.

I've just seen him on television looking like a cat who got the cream. Wait until it sours.... and it will.

[ToraToraTora]

if jezza is on board why don't they abandon the bill and hold another vote under FTPA rules, now 2 thirds is assured.

[davebro]

1. maybe a lot of his MPs don't agree with him.
2. the (non-FTPA) bill will be subject to a number of proposed amendments.

[THECORBYLOON]

MPs can table amendments to the Bill to include a second referendum or votes for sixteen-year olds.

[ToraToraTora]

1. Tories + SNP + LibNon dems + most of Labour = enough
2. Exactly so don't do that.

[ichkeria]

The fear was we might leave by default during a campaign.
With an extension until Jan 31 that threat has gone.

[ToraToraTora]

fine ich so why not use the FTPA vote rather mess about with the one line bill and all the potential agro?

[ichkeria]

Don’t ask me I’m not Corbyn.
I was answering the question.
However I’d have thought the issue of amendments answers it.
And surely there has to be a limit to the number of times Johnson can ask for the same debate.
