Emily Thornbury on Question Time last night clearly stated that with Labour’s policy the UK and EU would retain closer trade ties if it won an election. This really surprised me given the result of our poll and every other poll I’ve seen as it is directly in opposition to the will of the people. I would go so far as to say it’s clearly not what people voted for in the referendum, although the voting paper only gave us 2 simple options. If an election is called I think many people of all political persuasions will find it very difficult to choose who to vote for in this ridiculous political situation. I saw this letter published a few weeks ago. Although things have moved on it’s an interesting summary. Westminster is fiddling while the UK is burning. Somehow, somewhere there has to be some kind of cross party accord for the benefit of the country. How do you feel?
its a complete fuck up political parties and individual MPs are obsessed with their own personal agendas and political point scoring the political elite are completely out of touch with both reality and what people voted for
You have 70% of conservative constituencies voted to leave and 60% of Labour constituencies who voted to leave. https://fullfact.org/europe/did-maj...bour-constituencies-vote-leave-eu-referendum/ And yet in the house they voted 480 to remain in the eu and 159 voted to leave whilst 11 were undeclared, that is a majority of mp's of 310 wanting to remain. http://home.bt.com/news/uk-news/how-mps-voted-in-the-eu-referendum-11364110245462 We have a democratic majority peoples vote to leave and a house of commons who are in direct opposition to the peoples democratic majority vote.
Unfortunately you all vote for these Bellends, so unfortunately you need to take some of the blame for the mess.
What do you recon their Plan B will look like once Mays plan has been rejected(assuming they do present it for vote on Tues)?
The only thing the majority of MP’s are aiming for is staying in so anyone’s guess on the tactics but it could get sillier yet
I think plan B has always been stay in the EU and that’s what they have been working towards since the vote.
It will be Mrs May saying "F -you; you Leavers - it ain't going to happen. Why didn't you listen to AL when he first said it wouldn't?. Now bog off".
It's become a bit Trumpesque unfortuneatly. Her deal which is still the chequers deal that no one has said will work since last July, is worse than the current membership of the eu at the moment The people voted to leave, there was never any deal related to that vote but parliament has twisted it so. The only deal that actually matches the vote is wto/free trade I'm not sure that is the case, the default where no agreement can be made, is that it does go to free trade/wto. To change that would mean going through all of the article 50 and recinding the european withdrawl act which the majority of the mp's voted for, as did the majority of the house vote to launch article 50, enable the referendum etc so it will take far more parliamentary time and commons time than exists. I think/feel May will run it as far as she can and more than expected will buckle and vote for deal. If it fails, who knows? The houses of parliament have long forgotten they work for us and that the vote to leave never had "depending on the deal" attached. I hope we can do what others have failed to do in europe in that a democratic majority vote that europe doesn't like, is carried out and not allow the peoples voices to be stifled again.
Most obese people in europe, we could do with loosing a few pounds. The only way the food will kick off if is kurly cale and wheatgrass smoothies cannot get through, then London would worry
