ALL THE TIME TILL THE END OF THE WORLD : A snap poll conducted by NoGov today has revealed a not surprising level of satisfaction with the various opposition parties amongst UK voters.
“What’s the rush to bring down Johnson’s government?” A Random Remainer said, “it’s not like you can’t trust the Johnson government to obey the law. Yes, Vote Leave, found to have broken electoral laws, is now the government. Yes the government has already been found to have unlawfully prorogued parliament, but I’m sure they’ve learned their lessons.”
And there was similar nonchalance regarding the current behaviour of the opposition parties.
“Well all know multi-millionaire, career politician Jeremy Corbyn, whose been attempting to achieve ‘Lexit’ his entire parliamentary career, and who even called for Article 50 to be invoked the day after the 2016 referendum, is desperate to be appointed PM of a hamstrung government of national unity. He’s not just wasting time till the Tories dish up Lexit for him and get the blame. While also directing relentless propaganda at the Libdems.”
And there was similar satisfaction with the Liberal Democrats.
“The attacks they’re receiving from the SNP show the sensible decision to keep going after the SNP and Sturgeon by Jo Swinson. It’s not like the best way to prevent Scottish independence and the break up of the UK is to forget Scottish politics for now and defeat Brexit. Sturgeon is pretty light, wait? Just go for her. What’s she going to do? Remember the way Theresa May outplayed her all through her premiership? Also the way the Libdems are failing to call Corbyn’s bluff and say, go on, form a government then, let’s prove the math wrong. Genius. They’re totally controlling the political narrative. I’m not pulling my hair out in frustration at the failure to bring down Johnson by the opposition parties at all.”
But mostly people were content to wait out, sure in the certainty there is absolutely no chance of Johnson, Cummings and all the other Brexit zealots attempting to break the Benn Act and sacrifice peace in Northern Ireland in the classic imperialist, arrogant, time honoured English offhand tradition.
“They’ve got Johnson cornered at the moment,” another voter shrugged, “there’s no rush for the opposition parties to bring his government down. He’ll just wait to be politically dismembered by the Benn Act. Safe as houses. May as well enjoy being prorogued again, and again, and again.”
So that’s nice then.
