Irrelevant. The EU has said no more delays. Parliment can pass whatever it wants, if the EU won’t budge, Parliment has to either accept May’s deal or BREXIT happens without one.

Even more importantly, Johnson has asked to call elections and has been rejected.

I’m not sure what the “screw the people” block hope to gain here.

Suspending parliament was ruled unconstitutional, but screwing the vote of the people is just okie dokie.

“Irrelevant. The EU has said no more delays.” You are out of date. https://www.euronews.com/2019/09/18/watch-live-juncker-and-barnier-address-eu-parliament-on-brexit-as-meps-vote-on-article-50

Despite all that tuff talk about ‘throwing us out’ without a deal, they’ve realised that they don’t want to rid themselves of a cash cow so easily. They will grant as many extensions as they deem neccessary either to get us to cancel brexit or otherwise reduce us to a vassal state whose economic policy is prostituted to the interests of Brussels and Frankfurt whilst only theoretically being ‘independendent’.

Actually “the EU” hasn’t said anything of that sort.

Remember - it is a confederation that takes deliberation among members very seriously.

The Finnish PM who is the President this year has asked for a proposal by the end of this month.

France is threatening saying no to an extension.

But the EU has no ruling over the UK asking for a delay or cancelling Brexit - the UK holds the cards over those two.

The other countries can say no to an extension, but they need to do so unanimously.

Johnson CANNOT call for an election - read the “First Term parliament act” - he needs to get 2/3rds of the MPs voting for elections and he won’t get that.

You can’t call the ones who oppose Brexit as “screw the people” - remember that 48% voted remain, while 52% voted leave. That was close - no one will be happy with any option, because all of the options - leave, stay, half-in-half-out, all of them “screw a large % of the people”

>>I’m not sure what the “screw the people” block hope to gain here.
***********************************************************
They hope to gain a reversal of a referendum. They remind me of the commie pukes we see in our country today. They had a referendum, politicians promised to honor the results. When the globals lost, they try to muddy the waters with all kinds of B.S. arguments and tactics: “They didn’t know what they were voting for”, “They didn’t vote for no-deal”, “what about the backstop (a Juncker-contrived diversion), “but there are so many who want to remain”, creating all kinds of diversions, delays, etc.

The fact that they keep fighting, and refuse to give “Losers consent” bodes ill for Brits as well as for us, if it continues to be tolerated. Loser consent is needed for the proper functioning of government.

If the subjects truly want their freedom, they are going to have to do far more than what I believe they will actually do. Interesting times ahead, no doubt.

BTW, there is at least one EU-loving globalist FR poster who posts using the tactics described above. I put him on my own virtual “ignore” button, so as to avoid being exposed to said tactics.

Instead, seek out the Brexit Party rallies on Youtube, where numerous, excellent, clear-thinking people speak at length about what is going on. God Bless Nigel Farage, Ann Widdecombe, and so many other courageous Brits who are standing up to the global power infrastructure of their country, and ready to “change politics for good”.

It’s all theater. As long as the remoaners are doing the bidding of the EU they have no reason to budge. The moment it is advantageous they will. Bottom line is Berlin will never allow GB to leave the EU.

They want a Brexit re-vote.

And they may get it now.
