Corbyn is playing politics and not bothered one ha'pence about the nation. What a shambles the lot of them. I wish Brexiteers would be a little more consistent in who they are blaming for the failure of their Brexit. Brexit has been managed by the PM and her cabinet, I’m not aware Corbyn has a seat at that table. Perhaps Brexiteers know differently. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are unelected spongers on the public purse. And they tell Britain what to do without election or mandate. Regardless of the 73 seats. It is like the UN. Other than the security council, unelected buffoons from all non western countries try to impose rules that overrule the elected government and their mandate. Another one who either has no clue about the workings of the EU or is knowingly spreading misinformation about it. Carry on!

Here's a bigger clue. An effective opposition would have provided a better sounding board during the referendum campaigns and performed much better in the debacle since the referendum. Too many splits, wars, and scheming to bring the government down rather than providing effective parliamentary opposition and debate whilst adding nothing of value, Poor leadership - which has everything to do with Corbyn. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better to have the people's vote again, now many are better informed. Having said that, I know a lot of people who still swallow all the hard Brexit bull shit and think all these current problems are the EU's fault! OK lets for arguments sake there is another referendum. What will the outcome parameters be. more than 50% of the vote. Do we have another one in 3 years after the outcome? Either way all the answers I am foreseeing would have probably been mentioned in the first one. I would prefer a GE if the MPs won't act on the first referendum result and watch the "squeeky bum time' and see who gets elected. The EU won't want that as a brexiteer might become the next PM. No the plan all along was to frustrate the vote and hope the UK will change their minds which has shown that it has not, regardless of a referendum. If parliament cancel the result then I believe this will be suicide for the politicians and the country. My opinion again would have been the EU to stay friends with the UK. Let it go its own way. Due to those who run the EU they just can't allow it and are as responsible as the British MP's who put themselves before constituents. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proboscis Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 4 hours ago, Basil B said: No it wont happen, even JC stopped short of calling for a no confidence vote, a general election at this time will almost certainly lead to a hung parliament, Tories will loose seats, may see the ERG spitting and becoming UKIP2, Labour will be lucky to get any more seats, smaller parties will make gains, which ever party forms the next government will probably be looking to more than one party for support. Exactly - an election will only bake in the stand-off. Remember that the vote in the referendum was close and many voting remain voted remain but . . . and many voting leave voted leave but . . . In other words, the situation is not as black and white as some politicians would like you to believe. In such a situation I would suggest the following: Go somewhere along the road towards Brexit now, right now, and work out the details of where the UK wants to go later. In other words, leave the Single Market and move to Custom's Union right now - call it Brexit 1. That means no backstop and no problem at the Irish border. It gets over the problem of what the country wants in the future. And it would stop the haemorage of business confidence and investment to other countries. Yes, it would not solve the freedom of movement, fisheries and the freedom to sign separate trade deals with other countries. But it would give the country the most valuable commody of all - time - rather than being rushed into some deal or other which could cause huge problems in the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
