Seems it's not just the British political system in turmoil, the European Unions recently slight of hand moves don't seem to be going down to well either https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/03/europe/eu-leyen-lagarde-deal-intl/ https://www.dw.com/en/ursula-von-de...ast-european-commission-nomination/a-49460901
Legarde was instrumental in emasculating Greece and Der Leyen, has a long history of stating she wants a federal united states of europe. It will be interesting to see how many choices of the eu commission, are approved by the new look eu parliament with new eu mep's With LeGarde stepping down as head of the IMF, I wonder if Carney, the governor of the bank of England, will be after the vacancy as he is due to leave the boe post soon
Nothing very new in there. It’s mainly ‘likely’. Basically it’s same old, U.K. government have spent 3 years trying to remain so haven’t really done anything about leaving.
i dont think its true to say, the government have been trying to remain. i think it true to say, on top of the last 10years of bollox, the government are coming up against the reality of one crooked policy and campaign to many.
Good point. Though I think the difference this time is they asked the country to vote on the policy and got an answer. It’s not just they said they’d do something in their manifesto or campaign and then haven’t.
The main parties couldn't make their Eurosceptic problems go away, so they asked the UK Electorate to make the problem go away. The "problem" now is that the Electorate won't go away. There you have it.
Or it could be we are fed up of too many chiefs and not enough indians? The money men can blurb all they like, they are partially to blame for the anti multi nationalism part of the brexit vote. No good them bitchin now. As to the uk trade forum, press the "about" at the top and see the names, all pretty much heavy remainers
Yes, exactly. I do also think it’s made people that otherwise took little notice of politics ‘wake up’. Another referendum could well be entertaining, especially if it was still in favour of leaving (personally I think it would be). What would they do then
yip, and those in the Gov that campaigned for brexit are associated with the bull that went with it. with the indi reff, the torys where smart enough to leave it to labour to head the campaign. the torys had nothing to lose up here and everything to gain. where as labour, after decades of control, from council seats to MP's, where they used to boast about not counting their votes but weighing them in, have been decimated. in the internet age, you cant bull people in that way and expect to get away with it. . it seams the torys didnt learn that lesson. i'm not convinced people are pushing back against the result. in the same way people are looking at the 2014 result up here, they're protesting the way the result was secured.
Why do you think that Treasona May was so adamant that the 2016 Ref result "must be respected, for the good of democracy"? Hint: It wasn't out of respect for the result or for the good of democracy.
Not voting or abstaining would have been a protest about the way the vote was secured, if that was a genuine concern However, the way it was secured was the same as any other. Both sides say what they think, people who are allowed to vote, decide if they want to vote and then whilst in the voting both, vote depending on what they want as individuals. Nothing in the above is different than any other election. Also, 16.1 million voted to remain and I'd suggest pretty much the majority of those, voted in the hope their side won and so saw no issues with the vote till they lost.
That's what I said fin, abstaining is the same as not participating, do you have a different dictionary up there?
For the good of the Tory party ( or maybe just her) Is this a trick question, I hate trick questions I always fall for it.
in the same way sinnfein abstain? or, shooting somebody in the face is the same a asking somebody politely that they aint welcome and can you leave, please?
