rixalex Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Not so at all. Voters would understand what Bexit really means, instead of all the false promises and confusion at the last referendum. Nobody can know what Brexit means until it actually happens and is given a bit of time for deals to be struck or not struck as the case may be. Until then it's all just speculation.

Rees-Mogg, Farage, Robinson, Batten? Somebody that actually believes in Brexit, believes in our country, and has the stones to get on with it. This should have been a very simple process, no excuses for having made a complete dogs dinner of it. A typical Brexiter response. No thought that putting an inexperienced zealot in power would antagonize just about everyone. Robinson, you really can't be serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much better than the Remainers who are trying to claim that ignoring the results of the Referendum is actually really democratic. All this "democracy is a moving process", "how can more votes be less democratic", "people's vote" nonsense really grates after a while. Kudos for admitting you just want to Remain at all costs and since you lost the vote, to hell with Democracy. You really don't understand why Britain evolved the Parliamentary Democracy system; or why the American Founding Fathers wisely chose a Republic representative system as opposed to a simple absolute democracy system do you? If you did, you'd understand why the Brexit Referendum was only advisory and why the spineless politicians of all sides have avoided their duty and responsibilities so far.

Corbyn can play petty party politics all he likes, distracting from the most important matter in a generation. The EU can continue to obstruct and meddle as much as they like too. We still have a law in place that we Leave on 29th March. Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Not true. No UK Act of Parliament (Law) has yet been passed to say that the UK will leave on the 29th. Because it has been, hitherto, an executive decision (with Parliamentary approval to "trigger" Article 50): European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 - Wikipedia The date of departure being set by the moment that the executive notified the EU. Not by Act of Parliament The courts determining that Parliament should be allowed to "have its say" with regard to the terms of departure. The terms of the departure having been disapproved yesterday by Parliament. So now the executive may decide to ask Parliament if it is happy for a no deal departure or if it would prefer no departure. Or it may just wait for a no deal departure. Or "other things" may happen.

Forcing an uncontrolled hard Brexit down the throats of an unwilling populace will only cause division and discord for generations. I think you will find that if there were to be another referendum the Brexit leavers would have an increased majority and that is from a recent BBC street survey where remainers changed their opinions after the bully tactics of the EU mob . This is a wonderful opportunity for the UK to be rid of the bureaucratic shackles of the unelected EU governance and get back our country . Why all this fear mongering ? trading will still continue within Europe and then globally . The EU does not want the UK to leave as they are a big player and the level of bully tactics given by the EU was a warning to all the other 27 countries .Without the contribution of the UK the EU will be in trouble and only today I read that Germany's growth has slowed down and just avoiding the recession marker . The pound is gaining on other currencies so we could be turning the corner . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At number three, All brexiteers are Racists and Xenophobes. At number four, Brexiteers didn't know what they were voting for. At number five, Soft/Hard Brexit At number six, It was written on the side of a bus. (Many peoples favourite I'm sure) Number seven, Nigel Farage said it was unfinished business. Number eight, Cliff Edge. Number nine, Regrexit. Number ten, Borax to Brexit. Awright pop pickers, not arf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
