Of course, if it produces the "wrong result" no doubt it will be claimed that it was " only advisory"... No it won't be claimed that - but it will be repeated in a few years. Unlike referendums, which can only be advisory under the UK constitution law, and do require a specific Act to enable them. False equivalence. It's the liar conniving politicians who promised to abide by the referendum result because they expected a different result; and then lied again to try and win an election, that's the issue. An election won't change that. They'll still be liars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baerboxer Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 50 minutes ago, DannyCarlton said: There are no guarantees on the outcome of a GE, which is always about far more than a single issue (remember 2017?) The people's vote would settle the matter one way or the other with no ambiguity. The key is in the word "binding" which Cameron conveniently omitted from the 2016 referendum bill. Referendums, or "people's vote" if you like calling them that, cannot be binding in the UK. An Act that included the word binding could not be enacted into law as would be in contradiction to the constitution. Politicians breaking promises and lying is another matter. Generally accepted, sadly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post englishoak Posted October 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Good, the people finally get to choose a new parliament. Prediction, Labour are going to get what it deserves and thats decimated from all sides and rightly so, it stands for everything and nothing. Should rename this GE The Purge because theres going to be lots of political Turkeys going spare this Xmas thats for sure. PS Labour are also nearly broke, its membership is down 57k, "the peoples vote" fell apart at the weekend with in bickering, a sacking and refusal to leave and to top it all Tom Watson was going around this week doing interviews stabbing Corbyn happily in the back lol Oh yes and Labours amendment attempt for 16 year olds and EU members residing in the UK to vote just fell flat on its face... this how desperate Labour has become, sad but true Edited October 30, 2019 by englishoak 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thingamabob Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 In spite of Boris personally being way ahead of all the other party leaders in the polls this is far from looking like a Tory walkover. The existence of the Brexit Party makes the outcome unpredictable. If the Tories and Brexit do not cooperate Corbyn/Labour could well slide in through the back door. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given its the only main party even claiming it will deliver Brexit anymore has a deal agreed with the EU ready to roll ( bad as it is ) and Boris/Torys are currently hovering around 40% in multiple polls that would be a definite yes, very likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bookies are wrong ... we’re heading for a hung parliament followed by a second referendum. Still life in the old Brexit dog yet! Losses to the SNP? Last time around, the 'Popular Movement for the Liberation of Scotland' LOST 21 seats, notably dumping former First Pontificater Minister Salmond out on his Westminster butt along with Angus Robertson, their House Leader, while the Conservatives gained 12 seats. Even the hapless Scottish Labour somehow grabbed 6 seats. Lib Dems?... mehhh 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JonnyF Posted October 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2019 The plug has been pulled and they're disappearing down the hole already. Heidi Allen who was elected as a Conservative on a manifesto to Leave and then changed parties to join Remainiacs Change UK and then the Lib Dems (without a by-election) has resigned and is now playing the victim and complaining that everyone has been so "nasty" to her. Who'd have thought people would be upset by such a betrayal of their vote. Poor Heidi. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
