I believe Remainers are currently in a state of shock after learning their tamed "Electoral Commission" found them guilty of rigging the 2016 Referendum.
On the contrary, it’s Leavers who seem to be more concerned, as 3 years later they still haven’t got their own way and although it ain’t over til it’s over, the pendulum seems to be swinging away from them. My money is on not leaving on 31st Oct, BoJo resigning, then a very confused general election resulting in some sort of coalition Govt which is committed to offering a second referendum. As for what the outcome of such a second referendum will be is anyone’s guess, but I’d guess at 60/40 in favour of remaining. However, before foaming at the mouth Leavers jump on that opinion, I can also see force in the argument that a tranche of Remainers might have converted to Leave and so it could go the other way. The current Tory lead in the opinion polls despite their recent run of disasters suggests that’s a realistic possibility.
Have you read the Electoral Commission’s report? ‘People also said that they had enough information to participate in the referendum, with 85% saying that it was very or fairly easy to access information about how to cast their vote, with a similar proportion (82%) saying the same in relation to what the referendum was for. The majority felt that they had enough information to make an informed decision on how to vote in it (62% agreed, compared with 28% who disagreed). Despite this, we received more than 1,000 complaints from the public about the content of campaign material. Our public opinion research asked whether respondents thought that the conduct of the referendum campaigns was fair and balanced. Just over half of respondents (52%) disagreed with this statement with 34% disagreeing strongly. By comparison 34% agreed with the statement that the conduct of the campaigns was fair and balanced – only 12% agreed strongly. The main reasons given for thinking that the conduct of the campaign was not fair and balanced were because they believed it was one-sided/unbalanced/biased/partial (31%) and the information was inaccurate and misleading (31%).’ https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/sites/default/files/pdf_file/2016-EU-referendum-report.pdf
I believe Remainers are currently in a state of shock after learning their tamed "Electoral Commission" found them guilty of rigging the 2016 Referendum. . i dont think they where surprised to find that the tory party where found guilty of receving ileagal donations yesterday. i dont think they where any less surprised to see Ruth davidsons campaign was funded on dark money, and i deffo dont think they where any less surprised too see Ruth on the telly in the afternoon telling us all how nasty politics had become and not be asked about the electoral comissions report that had been released in the morning. . so, yip, vote rigging, by the party of government is the kind of democrasy we should be in a rush to deffend.
Would you say then fin that there has been no "dark money" used to assist the remain campaign not only before the vote but has continued until this day with most of it coming from pro eu multinationals and the eu themselves?
I was only joking My opinion is the remainers have made the most noise since the referendum about why it wasn’t right and how old people voted leave and have since died so we should have another go. I don’t think the U.K. will leave, and I don’t think the politicians have ever intended to. Why do you think a second ref would be 60/40 remain, if basically opinion polls suggest otherwise ?
There you go again, no answer, just a divert, you sure you're not an snpee politician? There has always been dark money in politics as there are in many walks of life, however your niavety or perhaps unwillingness to concede the remain side has done any such thing is silly It is not an unreasonable assumption to suggest that before, during and since, that the greatest amount of dark money and assistance from multinationals and politicians to any side, will have been to assist the remain side And using your own term, that is hardly an advert for british democracy
Fascinating history lesson and discussion of Parliament, Brexit and the role of the House Speaker. And lawyers : o ) An hour long but seems shorter.
