Most of those who didn’t vote are so disenfranchised, fed up with politics and politicians, that they simply don’t bother to vote at any time Didn't realise you came from Deepcar.

Let’s all hope that it does happen. Otherwise you can forget about Democracy, in what will become a banana republic. All thanks to those who will not accept the vote of the majority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post beautifulthailand99 Posted September 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2019 https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2019/08/boris-johnson-great-attention-seeker The tragedy of Brexit is that much of the British public has never been told the value of belonging to a single market of 500 million people; or that we were a big, powerful member of the EU with plenty of allies, and that our membership consequently amplified our global stature; or that our influence in Brussels made us more, not less, useful to the US, while our close ties to the US enhanced our influence within the EU. As we prepare to throw those benefits away, and as we prepare to cast our lot with the US instead of Europe, we will also be choosing one set of values over another. We will be choosing the unilateralist, nationalist, populist, bullying, xenophobic, dictator-appeasing, environmentally negligent values of Trump’s America over the progressive, tolerant, green, alliance-building, human rights-supporting values of those in our own continent who have been loyal friends and allies for the past half-century. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheungWan Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 The people have voted to leave. Parliament has voted three times against a deal. The EU has said that it isn't willing to renegotiate this deal. Unless you want to keep extending the leave deadline (which is to remain in another form) then the only option is to leave and attempt to deal afterwards. This is what I, and I'm sure most leave supporters voted for. What's your democratic solution?Certainly not no-deal.Sent from my SM-N935F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great piece of writing, get right to the heart of the matter - thanks. "Corbyn doing a great job in Parliament - cometh the hour cometh the man." I'm not a huge fan of JC as you have probably worked out. If you look at some of the videos of his anti EU rants before he became leader, they are brain free idiotic drivel, such is the curse of a mind obsessed with ideology. However in this case I am happy to admit that he spoke very well, and all credit to him. I only hope that the ordinary voter would see him in a better light, and not be blinded by Tabloid muck spreading. Despite your previous dismissal of my views on another thread, I will say this again, IMO the LP would be really wise to hold off on a GE till Brexit is dumped, by law or by referendum.
