There you go with the treason BS again. Treason is when you crash the UK out of the EU with no deal purely so that you and your backers can make a shedload of money from destroying the economy.

 

It's not treason to try and prevent that.

That silly 'T' word again, if you only regard the referendum numbers of 48% then nearly half the country are traitors, childish exaggerations, how about a Spanish inquisition with the rack.

LOL - Hilarious to watch. The People vote to leave. The majority of Pollies dont want to.  The new PM promises to leave and the Pollies wont let him.  The new PM demands an election and the Pollies refuse to let the People decide. 

 

Who is running UK? Is UK run by the People or the Pollies?  Are not the Pollies supposed to do what the People elect them to do? Even if they dont like it themselves.  If it wasnt so serious it would be hilarious.  Actually - it is hilarious.  And if it helps Aussies win/keep the Ashes then all the more hilarious.

The Government has not offered a General Election, it is not in their purview to do so.

 

Johnson wants a GE, the next is due in 2022.

The UK is a parliamentary democracy. It is charged with acting in the best interests of the country not by mob rule.

 

If it helps, RWC: Australia 16 England 40.

Agreed, everyone was hoping for an England Wales final. Guess we'll have to give the Boks a lesson instead.

"I would also urge EU member states to make clear that a further extension after 31st January is not possible. This is plenty of time to ratify our deal."

 

One thing is quite clear by just reading between the lines of EU's written extension offer:

This is the last time you get an extension, we are extremely tired of having to deal with your see-sawing and

the withdrawal deal agreed upon is now set in stone, don't even try to use these additional days to come here and ask for additional changes!

The extension is given for Britain to sort out its domestic problems, nothing else.

Hope so - and likely too.  England could have beaten NZ by a much bigger margin - two disallowed tries, and the only NZ try was from a foul.  The NZ player held the England player's arm away from tapping back the ball - watch the slow mo - he was nowhere near the ball - he just blocked the arm - and there were 2 NZ players waiting - planned move - they are very very good at those things.

So we have a referendum,but a majority of mps think they,'re above democracy and the wishes of their constituents,traitors.how's the economy being destroyed? Our way of life ( speaking as a resident of britain,not an ex pat) is going to be destroyed if we don,t get out.

[yodsak]

We will find out today.

Looking like Boris might do it.  Boris wants the 12th Dec, Lib's / SMP the 9th

Often those who most go on about "our way of life" being destroyed, live in some has been forever UK Grimsville which couldn't be made worse if you tried.

Apart from an actual organisation of leavers who marched through London a couple of weeks ago saying it’s ok to change your mind waving EU flags ? 
 

Is there a remainer equivalent ? 
 

Where’s the evidence for your ‘fair number’ ? ????

A load of hardcore, died in the wool Remainers pretending to be Leavers who have changed their minds.

 

Laughable. Don't tell me you believe that charade ????

Purely advisory. And as per the sovereignty of parliamentary democracy, parliament decided not to take your advice.

 

Stupid advice anyway.

52% wanted no part in it. The other 48% weren't stupid enough to fall for Cummings/Banks/Farage's/ Johnson's AIQ/Cambridge Analytica's BS propoganda.

 

Either that or, like me, they don't have Facebook/Twitter.

They also voted at second reading for the brexit deal agreed between govt and EU - it is the govt holding that back at present and not parliament.

It lost  more than 3 places in the "democracy"ranking this year that's for sure. By rejecting democracy the remainers have opened a can of worms I believe they will come to very much regret opening.

So your idea of democracy means illegally shutting down parliament to stifle discussion of a rather important issue? Etc etc. And what you leavers have failed to grasp is that the referendum was advisory, not legally binding, putting responsibility for deciding whether or not to take the advice onto MPs. By trying to stop MPs doing their democratic duty as required by the Referendum Act it's you that is being undemocratic. MPs have to act in the national interest and they are free to decide that that does not mean "leave", if that's the way they see it. And perhaps you can explain how leave could possibly in the national interest? JRM said all would be well in 50 years; is that the best you can do?

Well I won't call it, Mission : Impossible;

But based on what is happening since the vote, and based on the comments here, it doesn't seem that a consensus is possible

and this Brexit stuff basically consist nowadays  in political games.

52 is mathematically higher than 48. but when it comes down to people and the future of a nation, mathematics (especially in such a narrow difference) should not be the only factor.

 

There must be moderate Leavers and Remainers in the Kingdom, strangely they not express publicly their concern.

 

Of course the U.K. is not really the place where people express their opinion in the street.

Unfortunately, under this (and May's) "agreement", the EU will control the iron and the UK will end up becoming a flattened, singed and steaming pair of Y-fronts. 

But you knew that when you voted for it.
