Maybe, maybe not. But the point is that they chose Boris over the Hopeless Corbyn. And that is that.

and here lies the problem, if you think that is democracy then you haven't got a clue

I thought Corbyn had been in a fridge for months already so lifeless does he seem 

yet it was Corbyn who did debates, did interviews and went out and met the public... this was all about Brexit, a conjob that has made people vote for the very people who created the economic mess in the first place. All so we can have less brown people around, it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic

You  may advocate any theory of democracy you wish, but the one in place in the UK is Parliamentary Democracy and a system of MPs elected by first past the post. If you wish to change that system, either you have to secure the agreement of a majority of MPs or organise a revolution to impose what you want. In the meantime you are constrained by the rules. Alternatively, whine on social media.

Boris has a lot of promises to make good...

“So congratulations if you wanted Boris Johnson as pm.

Please don’t celebrate too much though as you have work to do. You see us <deleted> have spent three and a half years now telling you brexit was wrong but we’ve finally and completely lost. There’s pretty much nothing we can do now to stop it.

So, it’s over to you leavers. You need to get yourselves into gear to make it work. We need to see some of these benefits you’ve been able to see yet unable to properly articulate since 2016.

I hope you don’t mind but I’ve taken the liberty of writing a “to do” list for you.

1. Get brexit done please. When we say done we mean as promised so we’ll be looking for trade deals with the EU, Japan, Australia and Canada etc. In fact there’s about 40 deals covering 70 countries that need to be done please. Also with the US that doesn’t involve the nhs or chlorine. We want what you promised us. That was that we’d be no worse off than when we were an EU member. You need to crack on as this was promised by the end of Jan. You have seven weeks.

2. The NHS. We want the cash that was promised please. £350 million per week is about 72000 nurses so please get recruiting. This is important.

3. Scotland. Ok so these guys were promised they would remain in the EU if they remained in the UK. They’re pretty <deleted>. In fact they’ve voted almost exclusively for the SNP so they might want to leave. Equally you said the UK wouldn’t split so you’ll need to both grant Scotland its independence and keep it as part of the United Kingdom. Good luck squaring this circle. NB This is urgent.

4. Northern Ireland. Oooookay then. You’ve really buggered this one up. There’s a chance they could look to reunify with the republic now because they didn’t want to brexit. Regardless you’ve caused instability there where we and they can least afford it. NB This is also urgent.

5. The economy. Johnson keeps talking about unleashing the potential of the country. We need to see this soon if possible. We don’t want to see the downturn that “project fear” predicted. We don’t want to be poorer. We don’t want to lose out.

6. You’ll also need to “bring the country back together”. This might be tricky as a lot of people seem to be really really angry with each other.

That’s as far as I’ve got. Should keep you busy. So go and get all british about things. Roll up your sleeves, pull your socks up, dig deep and deliver what you promised.

And remember if you fail to deliver any of this it’s on you, brexit and Tory voters. You wanted this so badly and now you have it. We honestly hope we’re wrong and that you can make a success of this but if you can’t then we will forever tell you that we told you so.”

That is precisely the sort of self aggrandising, condescending twaddle which created the mood amongst the electorate which led to Boris Johnson winning his "Stonking majority" and which led to seats like Sedgefield returning a Tory MP.

Yes "self aggrandising, condescending twaddle" perfectly sums up that post.

 

Thank goodness for people like this, the sneering, pompous, lecturing, interfering bores.

They make life easier for us Deplorables.

You think you know me better than I know myself. And you don't even know me in person. 

You must be supersmart or maybe just delusional. 

And the fact that you can't understand that people also care about other people, even if they don't know them, is also concerning.

I like exchanging arguments but I don't like to "talk" with delusional people. I will block you on TV to make sure I don't have to read your drivel again.

Take care, maybe see a doctor. 

 

Ohhh nooo please please dont block me... ????...I couldnt bare the shame of some snowflake doing that....

 

When you call out someone who cant handle being told how they come across...they project.

So then, after Corbyn spoke to the people, Labour scored its worse result since 1935. Well done! And now 'er, more of the same please, presumably is the message from the Corbynistas....

Jonathan blaming the smug socialists for the collapse of the Labour vote in the Midlands and North, and the consequent return of the most sinister opportunist this country has seen since Harold Shipman!

"Deplorables" is a label primarily referenced in the US political situation. Maybe you stumbled into the wrong thread. So easy to do. Difficult to concentrate with all those chips to shoulder about.

The mockery of Britain's working classes has been going on for many years. They voted Leave because nobody seemed to be listening to their opinions or representing their interests.

 

Even now, many on this forum openly mock the working classes. Well, they will be reading forums like this one. When the next referendum or general election comes, don't complain if you don't like the way they vote. You played your part in their decision.

Well done everybody who made vicious comments about how working-class Leave voters were "racist" and "stupid". You know who you are.

 

You just handed Boris Johnson a huge majority and an easy Brexit. I did warn you.

Good job no Remainers whined incessantly on TVF about exchange rates. Although advocating revolution could hardly be compared to a whine.

Exchange rates and markets in general is where people put their money where their mouth is. How sterling performs has been a pretty accurate barometer of how the markets view the risk of a Hard Brexit outcome and will continue to do so. Sorry that this upsets the economic know-nothings, but never mind.

The chips on shoulder brigade just can't seem to unpack their Aunt Sallies. Easy Brexit? Not sure about that. Nigel Farage said he wouldn't vote for Boris Johnson's EU agreement. Most of the Hard Brexiteers here were parroting Brexit Party policy and yet now, suddenly, they have been Boris supporters since forever. So then, easy Brexit? If we include any possible trade deal, probably not as easy as the Brexiteer cheerleaders would like to believe.

Another Remainer moan and whine. 
Do they ever give up?

I’m not sorry that the economic know-alls are having a hard time, but never mind.  If they did know everything they would not have got themselves in that situation.
Tough, but not important for 66 million in the UK.

And the “ficker than us” brigade are still at it. 
Wait until the deal is done. They will still be naysaying as the UK prospers and the EU swirls down the pan. They hate losing and hate being wrong even more. But that’s where they are again!
