There's one thing for certain going by local election results and now the EU results, if the Conservatives don't get us out of the EU (by hook or by crook) they will be history as a political party.

Good riddance.

Maybe now, but not after Brexit, when they'll be competing for supplies. It'll be like the 70's Heath government with fuel rationing and electricity cuts, except it would be over a large range of goods that are just not readily available.

Dont worry , the UK can trade with the E.U on WTO terms if we leave with a no deal Brexit and there would just be extra paper work to fill out , there is the possibility that there may be few delays and thats why some supermarkets are getting extra stock in

It's not that simple - and you know it. First of all the EU have to agree on a whole range of goods and services, and how long do you think that'll take? Given the current government negotiating timescale, maybe a limited agreement could be put in place in 6 months, and perhaps medical supplies could be given a fast-track. Everything else is unknown because there is NO PLAN in place.

They're toast. This (relatively slow) revolution is already underway and cannot be stopped. By the time it has finished UK can expect (in addition to being out of the EU) :

 

- Two new Parliaments (British and English, the latter being the only country in Europe without their own)

- Votes for life regardless of geographic location; tied to our NI numbers

- PR to have replaced FPTP which in turn will render two party domination obsolete.

 

The sooner they get on with it the better ????

 

 

 

I wish I was as confident that this will be the case.

 

Sadly, I'm obviously far more cynical than you.

No, https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-45112872the UK and the E.U would automatically fall back to the WTO trading rules and there are indeed already plans in place .

   Have another link and stop worrying

Links up there , my C&P is malfunctioning

We will be leaving and taking our money with you. I am sure you can fill the EU gap with some of the "stans'. Good luck with that. seems other countries want out to. Rats and sinking ship come to mind. Nothing more pathetic that the EU threading countries saying look how hard it is to leave What a great club to be in. Reminiscent of the old German party in the 1930's.

Just clean the mirror when watching your own image , nobody stop you from leaving unless your own political mess.

On a European election night when the Brexit party dominated across the UK, perhaps the most eye-catching story in North West England was the humiliating drubbing suffered by the anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson.

Having claimed for weeks to be on the crest of an international movement – one that elected Donald Trump in the US – the man whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon had expected to “walk into Brussels like Connor McGregor” upon his election.

In the end, Robinson won only 2.2% of the vote – losing his £5,000 deposit – and snuck out of the election count in central Manchester barely an hour after he arrived. He tried to put a brave face on it, claiming the establishment had “arranged and organised” for him to be banned from social media to scupper his election bid, but it was a resounding defeat for the founder of the English Defence League.

For those who may wonder what happened to Tommy...????

 

Waste of space   ...on the ballot paper.

Actually if you took the time to read my post, I was responding to Sanemax and not you. I was going to reply but I inadvertently added your post to the one for Sanemax, hence my apology to you.

 

Are you a moderator? If you are then you can tell me off. If you are not and still feel offended then report the post.

 

What YOU think is a breach of the rules, I don't.

Even when replying to Sanemax my post in it was totally changed .

I have no problem with commenting , laughing or even ridiculing any post of mine , sharp or friendly .,as long my line is not changed .And no I am not a moderator , but know that it is not allowed to change someone post , on a pother forum I was even just warned by a moderator  because I put my own understanding about a newspaper topic in my own wording ,but not exact the same original wording as article ….. hence from that moment I just copy pasted articles ….problem solved .

Oh... yes that was of course in a Brexit article …. frustrated Brit probably :wink:
BTW congratulations for Farage … I hope I can take you out , as so we ( E.U.) can go on whiteout that Brexit dragging farce in the E.U..

 

if it was only by mistake , disregard my comment on it , but so you think that I example can under you name put/change any other line just like it is you said it (when not )…?

I never report , highest use ignore button if available , I think the moderators do their job correct, so if allowed …. let have some fun :tongue: 

 

Wishing it was Halloween already

You sound like Eric Cantona to reporters talking about seagulls. You obviously are not understanding who is stopping who from leaving the EU from a UK point of view. Maybe a refresher research on what has happened?

 

Anyway talk as cryptic as you want the UK in the EU elections just spoken. I believe some other countries have too. Your beloved EU will not be the same and is on course for a bloody nose.

My only wish is Halloween come fast and hoping for you U.K. would not be the same also as yesterday' mess

The Conservative Party leadership race is well under way with eight MPs having officially announced their candidacy.

So how did the party fare in each of those candidates' local areas?

Michael Gove: In Surrey Heath the Conservatives came third with 13% behind The Brexit Party (38%) and the Lib Dems (26%).

Matt Hancock: In the last election, the voters of West Suffolk voted for UKIP. This time they voted for The Brexit Party (40%) - followed by the Lib Dems (18%), then the Greens (14%) and then the Conservatives (13%).

Jeremy Hunt: The Liberal Democrats won 35% in Waverley Borough Council pushing the Conservatives into fourth place (12%).

Boris Johnson: Another fourth place finish for the Tories in Hillingdon (12%).

Andrea Leadsom: In South Northamptonshire, the Conservative vote share fell by 23% leaving them on 15%, third behind The Brexit Party (36%) and the Lib Dems (22%).

Esther McVey: Fourth again for the Conservatives (11%), this time in Cheshire East, where the Brexit Party won 34% of the vote share.

Dominic Raab: The Conservative vote share fell by 31% leaving them on 12%, third behind the Liberal Democrats (39%) and The Brexit Party (28%).

Rory Stewart: Strong performances by The Brexit Party, the Lib Dems and the Greens pushed the Conservatives into fourth place.

For once we agree.

 

I will then wait for Frexit, Grexit and any other, to see the fraudulent, fascist EU sink.

Oh about leaving a agree , if I would be still living in Brussels I would even be prepared to help U.K. staff packing boxes:clap2: , it was only 4 months I was regretting U.K. leaving after A50 , but soon I saw the brexiteers way of thinking credo and I understood they only would change mind after feeling the result of a for filled Brexit ….. feel sad what you do to the 48% compatriots 

 

Ps: I think before frexit Grexit or other exit The Scotts shall exit your union , would not be surprised Ni would finnaly follow 

cheers

Tories and Labour are leave parties or still were at the last election and manifesto. It would seem you are using remainer mathematics and statistics which usually tries to convince people that remainers won. How convenient you pool the anti brexit parties together but not pro brexit. I could say shameless but really it just makes you look desperate.

Both Tories and Labour party MP's are divided on Brexit... and their voting history shows that their Party manifesto's just a waste of paper.
