The country is always split politically. The first past the post system means a party with 40% of the vote can win. As much as I hated Blair he won an election & I accepted the result as its called democracy. The reason we are in the current state is the refusal of a lot of remoaners to accept...
This self identifying thing could be good. When she moans about my hairy back I can self identify as a grizzly bear & when i forget her birthday I can self identify as a goldfish. Get me out of all sorts of trouble. Sadly I will never be able to self identify as a horse!
If Corbyn got elected surely we should refuse to accept the result? Apparently a no deal Brexit must be stopped as it's certain to wreck the economy etc. On that basis a democratic vote to elect Corbyn must also be ignored.
We desperately need a Labour government. Look what a fantastic job the Labour Mayor of London is doing!! Imagine that and maybe a lot worse on a national scale! The Tories are in a mess but the alternative is terrifying. Corbyn, Abbott & co must be the worst Labour leadership ever. Hard to...
The BBC is an outdated concept now we have so many other better alternatives. Paying more than you do for netflix when you hardly ever watch it is nuts.The licence should be scrapped and the BBC made to compete on a level paying field. Just why do they need so many websites & channels now too...
I don't think many people actually want No Deal. A good deal would be preferable but we must be prepared to walk away if necessary to have the best chance of getting a decent deal. That's just common sense. Blair & co constantly telling the EU we can't possibly leave without a deal just weakens...
Its this kind of childish name calling that stops sensible discussion and keeps our country so divided. Millions of people voted Brexit & people constantly implying they are racist / thick / uneducated etc etc doesn't help bring us back together.
Its really hard to contemplate voting Conservative at the moment but if that's what it takes to keep Corbyn out of power then I'd have to. If Boris Johnson would make the most people possible vote to keep Corbyn out then I hope its him. Lesser of 2 evils just shows the state of our politics at...
The reason Cameron offered us a referendum (you're right though. He was a fool) was due to the huge UKIP vote in the last EU elections. As leave won the referendum he was obviously right to do so. There was been a growing resentment against the EU for many years as we have been forced ever...
Head won't be wobbling for a few hours yet if you meant go and have a few pints. Just find the revolution thing ridiculous from a remain point of view. If we ever actually properly leave and it goes badly then in a few years time it will be time for another debate and possibly another...
Yet again. No one knows how they would all vote or if at all. Also possibly 2 million people now have 3 years more wisdom & life experience so may now decide to vote leave. Who knows. We had a vote and one side won and another lost which we should act upon. Maybe in 5 years leaving could turn...
Didn't answer my question but I respect your view. A few weeks is a bit hasty though! I think even the most ardent leaver would agree there will be some short term economic turbulence. Medium to long term I think we would prosper but I don't know that. No one knows. Its just predictions which...
I agree. Brilliant post. Stand by for the words extreme / far right / racist / Daily Mail reader etc to be thrown about fairly soon. Having a well worded, carefully thought out & intelligent alternative opinion doesn't go down too well.
That's true. There are undoubtedly millions of people who just can't accept the fact they lost & are very vocal about it. It doesn't mean there is more demand than before. No one knows whether there is more or less demand than before including me.
Question for the remainers. Apparently we can't possibly leave with No Deal as it would result in economic Armageddon etc. So if Jeremy Corbyn was to win a narrow general election victory would we ignore that and demand another election? A lot of predictions say him being elected would result in...
How do you know that? Because the BBC tells you there is or because your circle of friends all agree with you? I don't know either. No one does. All my circle of friends voted leave and they still think the same way. Personally I don't think many people have changed their minds but I wouldn't...
So someone who didn't "remain" in this country thinks we should have a revolution? None of your business now really is it? Your kids aren't "educated" in our overcrowded state schools & your mum isn't sat in A & E of an NHS hospital for 6 hours while we pour billions in to a corrupt...
