Is that post the result of a nervous twitch caused by the thought of a people's vote and remain winning it?

 

See a doctor, you can get tablets for that. :cheesy:

 

BTW. I did use the word "binding". Look it up in a dictionary.

Yep, clearly JRM is destroying the UK economy deliberately so he can make a few quid shorting the pound.

Not exactly shorting the £ but you're beginning to get the picture.

A General Election.

 

 Hmm, I know, we could call it "the peoples vote!"

 

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.

Yeah, but they'll be different liars.

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.

But those selected by Boris's Tories will be stooges who do as they told. Only Corbynistas who want to impose the fairyland Orwellian vision of their loony leader will be selected for Labour.

 

They'll by liars, but not as we know them Jim!

As an outsider I'm sick and tired of the word being plastered all over my news feeds. It's been years!  Pull your finger out UK and do something!

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.

That rule can be changed in a day by an act of parliament.

And this one?

 

https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/jacob-rees-mogg-line-huge-personal-windfall-britain-exits-single-market/07/02/

 

"Jacob Rees-Mogg is in line for a huge personal windfall when Britain exits the single market"

 

And to indicate the holier than though morals of the man:

 

https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/anti-abortion-tory-mp-jacob-rees-mogg-profits-pills-used-illegal-abortions/01/10/?doing_wp_cron=1572405029.7467389106750488281250

 

"Anti-abortion Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg profits from pills used for illegal abortions"

Did you read them? First story: no proof. Second one: some Indonesians misusing a drug designed to treat stomach ulcers to trigger abortions - Mogg has no control over that - what about the people with the ulcers? All gutter press. Bye.

A lot of people are ‘with that guy’.

 

Which raises a question.

 

Is going into an election on a platform of ‘Brexit’ a vote winner for a party that for 3 years has failed to deliver Brexit?

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.
