The government has done that over the past three years and the result of that negotiations has led to an impasse in parliament. Unless parliament can make solve it themselves, parliament might as well ask the electorate to chose. 1 hour ago, dick dasterdly said: Sadly, I've no doubt you believe this 'spin' on the referendum and it's result ☹️. 17 minutes ago, welovesundaysatspace said: No spin. All of the statements in my post are factually true. If you didn’t know your own constitution at the time of the referendum you should know it now. The referendum was whether to leave or remain, and there's no point in going over 'it was just an opinion poll' yet again... MPs know better, which is why they are so wary of another 'opinion poll' ????! It wasn't presented as an opinion poll to advise the govt. to "explore the UK leaving the EU". Pure spin, as is the rest of your post. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Loiner Posted April 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2019 There was an opinion poll advising the government to explore the UK leaving the EU. The government has done that over the past three years and the result of that negotiations has led to an impasse in parliament.There was a referendum, not an opinion poll. We do not raise acts of Parliament for opinion polls, no matter how your bratwurst republic does things. There was no proposal for any kind of deal. It was simply, Remain or Leave? That the devious antics of parliament’s Remainers subsequently produced the notion of a deal prior to Leaving, is the reason for the impasse. The solution is for those Remainers (mostly May) to now admit they were wrong at both stages:1) Cobbling up a ‘deal’2) Not being able to get that ‘deal’ past Parliament. Time for them to Shut Up, Put Up and let the UK Leave No Deal. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on you guys...fess up. I lived in Sheffield in the period the abuse was taking place and although the focus was on Rotherham it was much more widespread. The racial situation was quite volatile, parts of Sheffield were effectively no-go areas and the police had one arm up their backs with the race relations act. I was self employed and working in Burnley in 2001 at the time of the riots, the town was absolutely devastated and again down to the Asian community. For a long time there has been in many parts a sense of resentment against the ethnic communities and not always without just cause. When brexit came along it was a golden opportunity to voice that resentment, but as you say completely misdirected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really believe that people voted on the basis that the cost of the outcome was irrelevant.

Scotland and NI did not want to leave the EU so they should get the option of leaving the UK, that would be real democracy. Bottom line is that every member of the tory party(Conservative and Unionist) that voted to leave went against the tory unionist policy. Time to stand up and be counted.

Exactly, the UK constitution may be unwritten but it is held together by a multitude of Acts of Parliament and other legal instruments. The confusion comes from the fact there is no single entity named the constitution, a bit like a folder as opposed to a file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that’s by your reckoning, according to which the UK doesn’t have a constitution. Sad to see how uneducated and ill informed Brexiteers really are.

If push came to shove, I’d let them go. Real democracy is in the whole of the electorate accepting the majority result, not splitting into moaning factions afterwards. (Is that you on both counts?) Real democracy has happened once so far, in the Scottish Independence referendum, which you are now stuck with. We are still waiting for the second time in the EU Membership referendum. You only need to count those who voted to Leave the EU. The whole Union leaves together. One out, all out. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savings on imported goods not subject to EU protectionism. The opportunities for UK world trade are many fold but you are blinkered to them. The myth is in Remainer Armageddon at Brexit. No special rules for Scotland. You had your referendum and the majority decide to stay in the Union. Democracy in action again - the other referendum you don’t like the result of. May puts her surrender treaty to parliament and it gets voted out three (maybe four) times. We haven’t left with a surrender deal.
