A fascinating phenomenon.

There is certainly a strong whiff of incel Jordy Peterson fan off the tiresome twosome.

Who do we think will bear the blunt of the blame? The EU or the "remoaners" in Parliament?

davedanon · 31-10-2019 04:29PM

Oh both. But especially the Evil Eumpire.

Kc ventures a bit of jokey blowhardiness.

More "predictions"...

I'd be the last person to use the polls as a guide to public opinion but the polls in the UK appear to show that the majority of people still want to leave. I can see Boris remaining as PM after the general election in December. If that were to happen, he could well have a big enough majority meaning they will be gone come the end of January.

I think anyone who is being honest will admit that it is pretty disgraceful what has happened in the UK these past few weeks. Parliament was blatantly trying to prevent the will of the people.

There have been arguments that the electorate did not know what they were voting for in 2016 which I don't believe one bit. One thing is for sure, everyone knows what they are voting for in this general election.

Would you have a link to those polls?

At what point will you accept that 'the will of the people' is superseded (and always was) by the 'will of parliament'.

Nobody had any business promising the people that the referendum result was anything but legally 'non binding'.

That’s as good a reason as any to have a confirmatory referendum on the deal

I see you edited your post and the word 'appear' appeared. Okay, can you link to polls that "appear" to show the majority want to leave?

"I think anyone who is being honest will admit that it is pretty disgraceful what has happened in the UK these past few weeks."

As it happens, this statement is true. But not for the reason stated.

If a border poll showed that the majority in Northern Ireland wished to form a united ireland, would you say the same thing?

Parliament has already agreed and signed an international agreement on that. A detailed agreement that was put to the people first.

There was no agreement with anyone (not even among themselves) before they went to the people on Brexit and have ended up in chaos as a result.

Parliament has done no such thing.
