Corbyn - " The prime minister is running away from scrutiny"
Have a general election and let the people scrutinise him.
"Wooooah.!!!Wooooah!!! Just hang on a month or two!!"

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
Do you know, I've wondered that myself. The only way I can think of to take Brexit off the table long-term would be for a hung parliament, but a hung parliament that manages to legislate electoral reform - to a PR system - before imploding into yet another GE. Only from that moment on, all elections would be under a PR format. That might well bury Brexit for good.Falcon wrote:Nah bring it on. Anything to bring us closer to electoral reform.
Anything short of this and a hard Brexit is ultimately inevitable, because it's only a matter of time before a brexity-type party gets a parliamentary majority and takes us out.

Based on one of the latest opinion polls Boris would get a majority of 28 if the Brexit party stands MP’s and 84 if they don’t.
I get an increasing sense of anger towards all the MP’s who are fighting against Brexit. I think this could be a historic vote if it happens in Oct
Most people are not following what’s going on at the EU and it’s moved since we had our vote.
It announced its intention to create an EU army.

Tell people the truth, and let them decide, don't try to hoodwink them and hope it doesn't matter.
Surely the last three years have taught us that?

If Boris got no dealers on board ie Farage’s lot he could get a thumping majority and the rest know damn well hence why they’ll wait till he either resigns or opinion polls say otherwise before voting for a GE , imo . Farago pun intended could also wreak “ Tory havoc “ on the flip side

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
There is obviously a level of guesswork... my point was based upon people like my other half who has no interest in politics, but has a right of centre view of the world ( despite spending years previously on the breadline), and her friends who would vote BJ because he’s “real” not a suit. Not saying it is a good thing, just that I expect it is a bigger influence than many of us might expect.TheFamilyCat wrote:I can’t imagine that more than about 2% of the population can really, and I mean really relate to Boris.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
If Farage only fields candidates against remain supporting incumbent MPs (most of which will be Labour MPs), the Tories would walk it. The only danger for the Tories is a split in the leave vote between them and Brexit Party - avoid this and they win easily. I see no chance of an equivalent pact between Green/Lab/Lib, so the remain vote would be split 3 ways with catastrophic results for all of them.AlargeClaret wrote:If Boris got no dealers on board ie Farage’s lot he could get a thumping majority and the rest know damn well hence why they’ll wait till he either resigns or opinion polls say otherwise before voting for a GE , imo .

(I think Boris would win a GE easily, by the way. I was just wondering why others don't.)

A combination of Boris Johnson and "We can get it sorted"
A combination of Jeremy Corby and "We want this thing to drag on longer".
A lot of people in the "not all that bothered either way" camp, whether they voted Remain or Leave, may well be more tempted by the former than the latter.

Definitely not, but they will be split 3 ways (4 in Scotland). If the leave vote doesn't split, they could get an absolutely enormous majority.

In a somewhat surprising turn of events it's got to the point where the Telegraph is running favourable Corbyn stories where a couple of investment banks (one of which is Deutsche Bank whose views I believe Brexit voters are now fully supportive of) are saying Corbyn would be a better option than No Deal.

I know you like to blame everyone but your own side for us not having left yet but this kind of stance is the real reason we haven't left the EU. Telling virtually half of the country "you lost, go screw yourself" and then whinging when they push back is spectacularly self-absorbed.
We voted to leave
Remain MPs, who lost the vote, hijack Parliament, in order to do their own deal, which will me we remain.
And you claim I'm arrogant.
How can remain, in any democratic society, tell Leavers what leave means.

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
I suspect last night was the beginning of the end of brexit. I think we’ll end up with another referendum before too long which will be No Deal or Remain.
It’s been proved over the last 3 years that an acceptable deal isn’t possible, and no politician can push through a no deal without a mandate.

If they had any faith in what they are doing, the courage of their convictions, they could use the opportunity to back a GE, get the support of the people.
That isnt going to happen though, because they know at the ballot box they'd lose.
One day you complain at Boris proroging Parliament, the next you're cheering at shafting the public another chance to show their wishes.
I know you wont, because its indefensible, but here's your opportunity to tell all us Leavers why that's right. Why that's legal. Why that's democratic.

A few questions. I know you'll just babble rather than answering them with facts but let's try:
1. Please provide evidence for Lowbank's made up claims. Or if you agree that they're bullshit then say so.
2. Please explain why RBS, Lloyds, HBOS and various other had to divest themselves of various business groups, spin off into separate companies and set up a fund for their smaller competitors. You need to do this without mentioning the EU (as you claimed the EU said the bailout was fine so it can't be anything to do with them).
3. Please explain why me wanting us to leave the EU on something akin to May's deal whereas you stamped your foot and said no makes me the one who is refusing to respect the referendum and leave the EU (bear in mind that the referendum only referred to leaving the EU, not what the deal was, so vague comments about not really leaving are meaningless, we're talking facts here).

Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
I disagree only so much as I think Boris’s steamroller was to focus minds on his deal, which I fully expected to arrive (in whatever form). Had Parliament rejected it and then forwarded the law Boris would be dead in the water... as it his he can now play the blame game against a largely unimpressive Opposition(s). He will attack Labour that remains hamstrung over brexit and antisemitism, while the Liberal Democrat’s are rarely in tune with domestic issues.Lancasterclaret wrote:And might still happen, if people don't keep insisting on a "No Deal" Brexit.
Same to you as I've said to Dsr, both CCs and Lowbank
"Keep pushing for the most extreme Brexit possible, and the danger is that there is no Brexit at all"
If I were a party activist I’d be looking for where Boris will come next. He will return to the attack and that would be my major focus right now, it is far too early for anyone to think the balance has tipped. IMHO there is a lot to play out yet.

But you were against the May deal. We’d have left six months ago had that been supported by Brexiteers.RingoMcCartney wrote:Its been proven that to a 75% remoaner parliament will not accept any deal.
Parliament was given a mandate. The result of the lagest single expression of democracy this nation has ever witnessed.
"Leave "
Re: Brexit: The Naked Truth
He doesn't. You've made that up as well.RingoMcCartney wrote:Personal attack?
Dont be so thin skinned.
I was simply stating fact.
The chief economist at Deutsch bank(who says no deal could be positive) and George Pascoe Watson are paid for their highly respected opinions.
You aren't.
Fact.
Wheres the "personal attack?"
If you want to see "personsl attacks" go back up this thread and look at shoite I get. Get over your self Lancaster claret.

I'm pushing for a general election to get a parliament that reflects the way the country voted in the referendum.Lancasterclaret wrote:And might still happen, if people don't keep insisting on a "No Deal" Brexit.

Hopefully, that new, non 75% remoaner, parliament will finally implement the largest single expression of democracy this nation has ever witnessed.
