It is worth looking at whether The Independent Group MPs are required to call a by-election. Some (most notably those in the leadership of the Labour Party) claim that, due to the MPs switching parties, by-elections should be called in...

Yesterday the UK's parliament finally approved a Brexit Deal, signing off on Johnson's Withdrawal Agreement Bill. In this video we discuss what this means for Brexit, the exit date as well as watching some of the debate in parliament.

Polling is a notoriously difficult thing to get right. People regularly try and fail to predict how the electorate will vote and what it will mean for the elections. However in this video we give it out best shot, teaming up with...

Yesterday Theresa May decided to postpone the vote on her proposed Brexit deal. It was supposed to be debated today (11th December 2018) but now May is trying to buy herself some time and delaying the vote. What would have happened if...

Brexit is ultimately the reason why this whole election is happening. So we wanted to take the time to compare all of the parties' Brexit policies. From the no-deal Brexit favoured by the Brexit Party to the Lib Dem's revoking Brexit.

While everyone is concentrating on the Conservative leadership election, in the background you might have missed the Liberal Democrats are having a race of their own. While the Lib Dems aren't picking the person who will be the next...

Last night the government lost a vote giving MPs the power to take control of the business in the House of Commons today. In this video we're going to discuss what the result of this vote is, what it means for Brexit and if it will end...

May's deal has failed in the House of Commons on three occasions, but May hasn't given up yet. For the past few weeks, she has been in talks with opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to try and strike a cross-party agreement. In this video,...

Last week May attempted to get her deal through the House of Commons for a second time. It didn't go to well for her. So only naturally she is trying to bring it back again. So today we discuss when will a third vote actually happen, why...

Earlier this week Johnson confirmed his government's plans to prorogue parliament in order to get Brexit done in the way he wanted. In this video, we tackle that 'way he wanted'. A lot of people think that Johnson did this to force...

It's pretty clear at this point that the UK will need another extension from the EU. Johnson's plans to hold a general election mean that the UK can't leave on the 31st, so the question is how long the EU will offer the UK. In this video...

In this video, we discuss the results of the 2019 general election further as well as examining the system of election used in the UK. The results of the First Past the Post system don't seem to be pleasing a percentage of the...

Last night a whole lot happened in Parliament, but one of the biggest events was the Benn Bill getting Royal Ascent. This meant it officially passed into law and makes it much harder for Johnson to opt for a no deal exit. In this video,...

Last night after losing the vote, Johnson announced that his government would be calling for a general election. The problem for him is that 2/3rds of MPs need to support his motion for an election to be called. The big group he needs on...

The election that the UK is about to hold ultimately boils down to Brexit. While other issues will be discussed, Brexit looms over the whole process. So in this video, we discuss how the election links with Brexit and why no deal is...

Yesterday Jeremy Corbyn officially announced his plan to table a motion of no confidence. This is his attempt to stop Boris Johnson allowing a no deal brexit. The plan is if he can get MPs to vote to take down Johnson a temporary...

Just over a week ago the EU granted the UK a variable extension which offered them slightly longer to agree on a new plan. However, that time is running out and it looks like the UK will need a much longer extension. We discuss if this...

Yesterday MPs voted (by a pretty large margin) to make prorogation harder. This means it will be harder for the new Prime Minister to force a No Deal Brexit through the House of Commons. A large number of MPs still seem determined that...

To many, the upcoming general election is all about Brexit. The Liberal Democrats, Green Party and Plaid Cymru have decided that the best way they can get the Brexit result they want is by working together. So the three parties decided...

Yesterday Theresa May announced that she was stepping down as leader of the Conservative Party, and therefore stepping down as Prime Minister. That means there's an opening for another conservative to take her place and become Britain's...

This morning Donald Tusk, President of the EU Commission, confirmed that the EU had approved the UK's extension. The new extension means that the UK will leave the EU on the 31st of January, with two breaks at the beginning of December...

On Thursday night, Boris Johnson announced that he intended to hold a vote on a general election. He wants to start an election race so the parliamentary maths can be shaken up a little. He's hoping his party can get a majority and he...

It looks unlikely that May's proposed Brexit deal will actually make it through the House of Commons. So we discuss what would be the consequence of the deal failing to pass? From a second referendum or general election to the UK not...
