British Indy: What Happens Now?

Discussion in 'Wasteland' started by Loz, May 23, 2015.

?
  1. Full Brexit with "no EU deal" on the 29th March.

  2. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a general election and new negotiations.

  3. Request Extension to article 50 to allow cross party talks and a new deal to be put to EU.

  4. Request Extension to article 50 to allow a second referendum on 1. Remain in EU or 2. Full Brexit.

  5. Table a motion in parliament to Remain in EU WITHOUT a referendum.

  6. I don't know or I don't care anymore

Results are only viewable after voting.
  1. There you go. You're getting it. Misdirection is the (UK) government's stock in trade.

    "May is incompetent, we cannot go for her 'deal', we need to rethink Brexit from the ground up."

    "May's cabinet is incompetent, look who they have appointed to run cross-channel services" (we will just have to hope that no one digs up any suggestion that the awarding of the contract was inspired by kick-backs instead of rank stupidity)

    The secret to staying in office isn't doing a good job or doing the best for the country - the secret is simply staying in office. That's all.

  2. It’s been that way for years I think.

    Thatcher was good at it.
     
  3. So Mayhem chooses Grayling because he is a provable incompetant/ devotee of kickbacks (see Carrilion file) who certifies himself as olympic standard stupid by giving contracts to people without dockage, ships or sailors, because really she wants to overturn Brexit?

    Hmm.
     
  4. Touch of the Blackadder there....

  9. Why indeed?

    Grayling (as Tory Home Sec) famous for denoucing Labour’s decision to make former Army leader General Sir Richard Dannatt a peer only to retract when it was revealed that the Conservatives made the nomination

    Grayling (as Justice Sec) banned prison inmates books, and gave us a summer of Britains greatest prison riots in the year when imates deaths rose 38%.

    Grayling (as Transport Minister) changed the rail timetable and caused the biggest cock up ever seen on the trains. Supervised Carrilion contracts, promoting the company until days before they collapsed in debt for 1.5Billion

    Grayling was busted for his expenses claims on his apartment, then the scandal over saying hoteliers should be able to ban gay people from staying, plus the time he said Liverpool was an Urban war zone...

    In the last month Grayling refused the RAF assistance to immediately attend the Gatwick drone situation "due to cost" and contracted the non existant ferries on a takeaway kebab terms & conditions.

    Theres plenty more cock ups easily found on google. Anyone who effed up this much continuously should surely have been sacked!



    What a twat!

  12. It's beyond me. Possibly because May is an idiot and doesn't realise how crap the bloke really is?

  15. Thatcher won three elections on the trot and was striped up by envious Heseltine and others in her own party.
    If she hadn't been stabbed in the back we would likely never have suffered that creep Major,who signed the Maastricht treaty and sold this country down the river.
    Her voter base was predominantly the aspirational working class,probably the same type who are vilified now for voting to leave the EU.
    Unfortunately being working class with aspirations is a cardinal sin amongst many: the middle and upper classes tend not to want the oiks being able to afford a move into the leafy suburbs,and the working class who don't want to make an effort would rather keep their brothers in their place at the bottom of the pile.
    Trumps voter base is the same-those blue-collar workers are not wasting time casting envious eyes and moaning about Trump being a billionaire,they just want the chance to make a few quid themselves.
    Thatcher & Trump share some of the same characteristics,and the way things are going,(and I hope they do-I want kids to have the same opportunities I have had),we might be seeing a few other leaders saying what they mean and standing up for the people who elect them and pay their wages.
    And if that doesn't frighten the lily-livered anti-democrats currently infesting the corridors of power,have a bowl of THIS:
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/20...-vest-citizen-referendum-initiative-proposal/
    According to a new poll, 80 percent of the French public support a proposal backed by the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) movement that would allow citizens to propose referendums that would create new laws.
    The Citizen Initiated Referendum (RIC) would allow French citizens to propose their own laws that would then be voted on by the general public in a referendum that could effectively bypass the French parliament, broadcaster RTL reports.
    According to the Yellow Vest movement, the RIC would not be limited to just proposing new laws but would have several other functions including repealing existing laws and referendums on amendments to the French constitution.
    The movement also backs the idea of a RIC to, “dismiss any politician, the president, a minister, a deputy or any other elected official,” which given French President Emmanuel Macron’s historic low approval ratings could put his position as French leader in jeopardy should such a referendum occur.

  17. This popped up on my screen today. It’s an article in The Guardian.

    Have a look at it and compare it to our survey at the top of this thread.

    Here’s what interests me.

    The hard Brexit figure (or whatever anyone wishes to call it) is almost identical.
    At times in our survey it has been identical, at 57%.

    However the other two options are swapped over with similar-ish proportions.
    Not that it makes any difference to the majority.

    Also if you add up their figures 5% of their respondents chose not to respond at all!
    Amazing, given the importance of the issue.

    But what surprises me most of all is, what took them?

    No matter what you voted, what you think or what you’ve argued, and you guys certainly have argued,
    it looks like we’re headed for the hard Brexit.
     
  18. Ha, agreed.
     
  19. Happy to be proved wrong. Incredibly happy, on this occasion.

    I don't expect it, though.
