One important and the other perhaps not so. Firstly; the Eurovision song contest! Will we still be able to participate when we leave the EU? Secondly; would it be worth the Brexiteers promoting our thoughts through a mass rally. I am thinking Pattaya sometime next week (after the Thai elections). Would there be much enthusiasm, among TVForum members, for a rally on the beach perhaps, or Bali-hi pier? Yes Israel are in for Jehova's sake ! Good luck with your mass rally - a table full of old codgers would probably be about it. Why not start a Brexit Now petition to rival our Remoaning one - 418k ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Belgians know we have nothing to say and mostly ignored by the "Important" ones. I suppose this is what the Leave voters rescent as well now : not important enough to get awareness, despite they expressed their choice. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Democracy in the UK has certainly evolved. It has become worthless while there is a lobbyist system in place. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommysboy Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 It's the May deal I can't stand. Final say on the deal sounds good, and I'm reconciled to idea of leaving without a deal. I don't want an extension. This has gone on long enough. It will be interesting to see if this march can pull in a million plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. One obvious example is David Cameron's public undertaking to make the Brexit referendum, unlike its "advisory" predecessors, binding on Parliament to implement (a pledge, to her credit, echoed incessantly during the Brexit negotiations by Theresa May). What a relief to discover at last some common ground with a Remainer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, I would say a final say campaign has run out of time. We are leaving on the May Deal or No deal. But there will be hell to pay because the majority no longer want to leave. Everything about Brexit has gone wrong imo. I say, <deleted>, let's just leave on the so called No Deal- everyone has had long enough to effect an alternative outcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over a million would be very significant in my book. I agree, but it seems a too little, too late. I'm sure you've seen these petitions being brought up in a little back room in parliament, they appear just to be going through the motions. Thanks to the internet over 36,000 were discussed in the first year of the introduction of the epetition, many are rejected being unworthy of discussion. Parliament will do what they want to do, not what we want them to do, as it has been proven. If we leave the EU, it will be probably due to luck and mismanagement. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the people voted 49.99% for one party, but all the other parties decide to form a coalition, the party with 49,99% will be in the opposition. Democracy : 50,01 is higher than 49,99.
