Do you not remember all those surveys and predictions that the referendum result, would be a huge victory for remain. You still haven't learned. Strangely enough most people do believe in Polls/surveys up to a point, subject to poll size, confidence intervals etc. They have been proved broadly correct for as long as they have been used. Those using dodgy data like Radmussen in the US have become a laughing stock. By the nature of statistics there will always be the occasional outlier. However please don't kid yourself with your "Huge victory for remain" fantasy, the polls were actually quite close, look at this poll data from the month before the referendum. Green means leave predicted to win, red means remain predicted to win. You will see a couple of poll outliers, one going each way. So the poll I posted might be out by +/- 2% that means 21% to 25% actually support a hard Brexit. (I've included it again to save backtracking through old posts.) No deal Brexit is actually in danger of competing with rats vomit for popularity among ordinary folk in the UK, however popular it might be with old white males on TV. I guess it's rather embarrassing. Edited August 28, 2019 by Nigel Garvie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdong Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 2 hours ago, Baerboxer said: Johnson, and his advisers, are now formally asking HMQ to suspend parliament. This is their big gamble. May gambled she could use the Royal Prerogative to push a deal acceptable to herself through and lost. Johnson and his team think they've found a way to by-pass parliament and run the clock down. Every politician must drag themselves out of the cesspit and vote this small gang of elitist Tory far right brigands out through a no confidence vote. Otherwise a precedent will be set by which any sitting PM could do the same to push through or stop opposition to any legislation or events he/she fancies. This Tory clique is dragging HMQ into politics which may well back-fire on them. As much as I despise Corbyn and his marxist terrorist supporting cronies, we need them to put the countries interests first and not their own agenda. This constitutional crisis is now bigger than Brexit and leaving or remaining. It's a small group trying to thwart British democracy. you think it,ll be bad when we leave the eu,god help us all if corbyn gets in,hes done more u turns than an uber driver with a broken sat-nav. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems you like dictatorship as used by Boris. To abandon parliament is the most terrible act because the parliament represents all UK whereas Boris only a handful selfish elites. This has nothing to do with any referendum. ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brigand Posted August 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Corbyn is a duplicitous little weasel. He is old school 70s Labour and has voted against the EU on almost every occasion from the backbenches .. he's a Brexiteer on the same level as Farage as he can't get his Marxist dreams into reality if UK is still a member of the EU. Notice how tricky his language is, he is only against no deal ... not leaving, and that has been conspicuously left out at almost every turn, great misdirection on his part. This is why he's dithered so much as being a remoaner isn't in his DNA, at all ... he wants out too, just doesn't want to be blamed for it. Sneaky little toad imo.

I wonder: how does respect for democracy go together with suspending parliament?” Think about ???????????? Never mind respect for democracy until you define what is represented as democracy. Is democracy defined as representative of the consensus of properly informed criteria or is it the result of deficient or even contrived absence of criteria on which any consensus is sought? Brexit was never an expectation of the condescension of putting the question. That it was devoid of the involved complexities presented by the event of a positive for exit by the virtue of which appealed to a slim majority has been argued as a prevailing reason to proceed with that initial vote in defiance of the call for a secondary vote in light of more informed opinion. Which should prevail? The principle of a non binding opinion or the genuosity of a second more informed opinion? What is democracy ? I agree. People should think. But fat chance when people are trained to be sheep. Edited August 28, 2019 by Dumbastheycome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiner Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Corby will also try to do everything necessary to grab power, as well as stopping no deal. His trouble is that he’s incapable of either.
