Power to the people, and if Raab thinks that his plan will guarantee our leaving this so called union,so much the better. It’s a fair bet that at least 48% of the electorate disagree with you.

Only the 48,11 % "remain" new exactly where they voted for. Acording the British way of voting; the biggest gets all = remain gets the "government" as the "leave" are split between; no deal, May deal, Norway / Swiss solution, Canada CEPA treaty , ??? " leave means LEAVE,under what conditions?whatever,its obvious the eus not going to do us any favours,so if it means leaving under wto rules so be it,the longer this farce continues,the bigger mugs we look,and the more the pound slides down.

It won't matter, in any case, I don't see how the leadership could go to anyone but Boris at this point. barking mad or a moron,... seems a good description of Boris to me.

They never believed in 'The easiest deal in human history.' They never believed the German car manufacturers would leap in to save us. They believed Project Fear and the calamity that would befall us, which is why 'Well we survived World War II, didn't we?' is now advertised. Funny how at the time they did not seek to disabuse the foolish claims about there being no downside to Brexit. Why, when economic hardship is what they voted for all along in their droves? Now many people voted for Brexit with the noblest of intentions. Hell, I have a very close and ardent Remainer friend in the UK who will literally give you a half hour lecture on why the EU is <deleted>, before making his pitch that leaving it as of now is even worse, especially given we do not have the Euro, are not Schengen members, etc. Nor can we be forced into such arrangements. I am inclined to agree with him: What actually tangibly better things will we achieve within the next 20 years if we just tell the EU to go #### themselves, leave without a deal, stiff them on agreed payments and look elsewhere as an unreliable partner?

I would have said the same as I said about Raab, about Trump, and if you follow those threads you would see that many many others deride him in a similar manner. This is also inconsistent. The language used by Brexiteers about for example MPs, or Gina Millar, or the Law Lords, - treasonous traitors - etc etc is also pretty uncompromising. The topic is one on which people on both sides hold very strong views, it is natural for people to express themselves strongly, (within forum rules of course) but maybe the Brexit camp has morphed into snowflake central.

All that talk of bringing back sovereignty to Parliament and here's true Brexit zealot proposing to suspend Parliament to get Brexit. This is nothing less than the tyranny of the ballot box. At no time in the history of the British Parliament has a politician ever suggested a winning a vote gives him the right to suspend Parliament. It has however happened elsewhere. The name Cromwell seems to ring a bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you justifying calling another human being, dung, because where I come from it is not acceptable. Only last week you were at it again with Nigel Farage, you just cannot help yourself. Using the excuse he's doing it, so I can do it is no excuse, all you are doing is deflecting. Incidentally using the terminology "snowflake" caused a leaver to take a short suspension. Not all remainers insult, but most people that insult are remainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
