Michael Gove certainly did used to be in favour of capital punishment, because I heard him propose a motion on it years and years ago, when he must have been quite a bit younger than I am now.
But it is not going to happen. Just as a referendum on EU membership is not going to happen.
The whole point of the "renegotiation" is that it is supposed to lead to nothing, and in any case UKIP has crashed and burned, with even Douglas Carswell unlikely to be in it in a year's time.
Sir Bill Cash has already been on television in the first days of the first Conservative overall majority of the present century.
And so it begins all over again.
The EU referendum is certainly going to happen.Mark my words.
ReplyDeleteBlood everywhere. Some of us have seen this one before. We now it ends.
Delete"UKIP has crashed and burned".
ReplyDeleteOnly if you're insane can it be considered "crashing and burning" for an outside party to get 13% of the national vote share (and 4 million votes) in a system only designed for two parties.
The outrage is that they got less Parliamentary representation than the SNP and Liberal Democrats despite having more than both of their combined vote share.
As I said.
DeleteUKIP got well over half the number of votes Labour got last Election.
ReplyDeleteAnd what have they got to show for it? The Alliance got almost as many votes as Labour in 1983, where are they now?
