Yes it is. And you are part of the deranged left which is what I was referring to. Again, my opinion.

While it is the case that Labour want a GE before another referendum, what makes you think a new Tory PM will result in a GE?

Think it depends on how the Brexit talks go.

As there is no prospect of a "No Deal" through Parliament, then it might be the only way out of it that isn't a 2nd ref.

The Brexit talks with the EU are over we are told by the EU, who have been in the driving seat since the PM agreed the deal. It seems a certainty that a new PM will be in position in a matter of months.
Will it make any difference? No the EU are asserting.
I haven't any reason to change my opinion that as things stand it will boil down to a choice between No Deal or No Brexit.
While my personal preference has for some time been a GE, if I listen to other opinion, that this will not happen.
And on it goes.

Well I would say that there's a very strong chance, and if by any chance it's Johnson then it's a virtual certainty because Labour will call for a vote of no confidence in him, and there are a number of Tories who won't vote for him at any price.
(Indeed one of the few things that Parliament can probably agree on is that they don't regard Johnson as suitable PM material)

I'll ask you again.






The 2016 referendum result was to Leave. That result is yet to be implemented. If there was to be a 2nd referendum it would mean that , leave voters would have to have won TWO referenda to have their viewpoint implemented. Voters who wanted to Remain would only have to have won ONE to have their viewpoint implemented .








As someone who describes them self as a "liberal Democrat" . Could you explain how that would be either liberal or democratic?.....

Ringo, your perfect wife was asking a question, I just gave her the answer that is both factually accurate and generally accepted by the political commentators.

My own opinion hasn't changed

- Farage led leave (ie No Deal) I'm 100% against and will vote for remain

- Compromise Brexit that doesn't stuff the economy will support.

I mean, I've been consistent in this since Day 1.

That is pushing it a bit.
If there was a referendum tomorrow with a choice between a 'compromise deal' and 'remain' you would vote for the deal.

OK I'll put it another way.
If there was another referendum and there were two choices between a compromise deal and remain which way would you vote?

You said if there was a choice between No Deal and remain you would vote remain.
So having been clear on that choice it follows that anyone who proclaims themselves consistent since Day1 should be able to say how they would vote in a referendum whatever the choices.
So how would you vote?

I'd have to see the deal

But it's going to be remain v No Deal if it comes to it.

Leave.eu found throwing drinks on politicians hilarious a few days ago.
Now, not so much.

I must've missed the thread from all the right-wingers condemning finding pleasure in such a heinous act of attempted murder. Oh, I forgot you're all hypocrites.

Let me put this to you.
Based on how you have argued from Day 1, I am sure that there would be no compromise deal that you would be happy with. You would always find a reason to say any deal would not be in the economic interests of the UK.
I would go further and claim that you voted remain and would always vote remain in any referendum.
I don't think you have the courage to admit that

You see that's the problem I have.
And seeing as you have brought this down to a personal level I will respond, with politeness.
You like to wear as a badge of honour what you perceive as your consistency. When in fact it could well be a badge of dishonour.
You say I know you have been consistent. Well I don't, only in calling genuine posters who have different views names such as racists and idiots. You even went as far as challenging the moderators to ban you last week after another of your rants against the racists on this board.
Name calling is easy, anyone could do that. However most of us choose to make our points in a more assertive way and let others decide.

Thats why C4 have been banned.
They have been mainly funded by over 100,000 people paying £25. The electoral commission found no evidence of misuse at all.
You cannot hide who funds you, it has to be declared if it’s over £500.

Because the current political parties are scared they are trying every tactic in the book to discredit the Brexit Party.

They don’t have a manifesto yet as they are only 5 weeks old.
The plan is to involve the whole 100,000 members in the creation of the manifesto. That could be a good thing or it could be a car crash. We will have to wait and see.

We will.

The problem they will have is exactly the same as everybody else does once they have policies is that they will be scrutinised and checked by everyone who is interested in that kind of thing.

The current situation suggests they won't react well to that, which doesn't bode well for them longterm (ie when it becomes a bit harder than going "Brexit means Brexit")

They're not just five weeks old though are they, they were founded last year. Change UK have managed a manifesto and are a lot newer.

Do you seriously think brexiteers care who is donating, and how much to the brexit party?

You are going to have to come up with a better reason than that to convince people who have been completely ignored by our elected government, that the Brexit party are the dodgy lot

I wouldn't put too much weight on that story. That method of traffic analysis isn't particularly accurate so it's not really conclusive either way.

For the past couple of weeks the media commentary from certain people has become more and more desperate when it comes to painting the Brexit party in a certain light.
People like Carole Cadwalladr, and Guy Verhofstadt would be better off explaining why they have left normal people with no other option than to vote for the likes of Farrage.
It's ok saying "Facist, Far right, and pro Russian" but ultimately they need to come out and admit they have denied people freedoms in favour of lining there own pockets

its been three years Damo, everything has been tried to get a Brexit that doesn't f**k the country. Everything.

You are possibly the most sensible Brexit voter on here, and you've always seen where people like me are coming from.

But you still want it (and I'm sure you are not alone!)

I don't know how to convince someone that Farage is a dodgy chancer, when its really obvious he's a dodgy chancer. He's set up a party, with thousands of pounds worth of funding (how to do it dodgily highlighted by me further up the thread) and no real controls over what he does.

Its got to be questioned, and when it is, the news organisations are banned.

Alarm bells are ringing like mad in my head, why are they not in yours?

Not when you compare it to having my vote completely ignored by the people we elected
However, I think this is a very dangerous stance which I find difficult to reconcile. Complaining that on the one hand that politicians are ignoring the people but on the other hand you don't care if they receive millions in pounds in secret don't seem to be two stances that go together.

In a world of bigger and bigger megacorporations who have more cash than a lot of countries do we really want there to be no accountability? If Saudi Arabia were paying Theresa May £100m a year in secret would you have no issue with that?

Alarm bells are ringing like mad in my head, why are they not in yours?
I've explained plenty of times pal.
I dont want no deal, but what has been negotiated is pathetic. MP's ruled out no deal, and in the process, took away any kind of bargaining power we had.
I'm not happy with May's deal (is anybody?)
I would rather article 50 be revoked and have it all done again by someone with some backbone. Be that Farrage, Johnsone or someone else.

It’s nothing to do with backbone, it’s two irreconcilable sets of red lines. The EU aren’t going to budge and we aren’t going to budge and in those circumstances it’s probably true that May’s deal was the best we can get.

A change of PM to an out and out Brexiteer isn’t going to change the EU’s position, in fact it may even harden further. That will leave a stark choice, no deal or remain, and in those circumstances I suspect the majority of MPs won’t want to make such a ‘no win’ decision and will throw it back to the country.

May should answer to the electorate.
So should the ministers in the council of the European commission.
That is basically my whole issue with the EU.

No.

Having wiped the floor with our resident message board Remoaners on many many occasions. Why the hell would I want to create a tribute act to muddy the waters?.

Why would I create another "person" to give them the inevitable future reflective glory as another remoaner disappears into to the ether rather than answer straight forward , but argument winning , question!

What a joy to behold.

Sore loser message board Remoaners arguing the toss as to when the Brexit Party was formed/founded/launched.!

The electoral commission leaving the Brexit Partys office with their tale between their Establishment legs! Being forced to admit to giving them a clean bill of health!

Guardian journalists with an anti Brexit Party agenda desperately flailing round to find any bit of mud to sling!

Seeing the gap toothed Guy Verhofstat getting increasingly hysterical about the rise of parties all over Europe!



CONCLUSION- The unprecedented phenomenonal rise of the Brexit Party as got 'em well and truly rattled!

Should the senior positions in the civil service, those permanent under secretary positions for example, the chief executives and heads of service at the Council also be voted in?

I said "Nobody is saying the losing side in the referendum should be silenced."

I'm thoroughly enjoying the venting of spleens by people who will simply not accept the largest single expression of democracy this country has ever witnessed. It's shows what poor losers they really are.

You call it "belittling" everybody who voted remain. 16.1 million people voted Remain. They don't all post on here. I'd prefer to call it holding a mirror up to some of those that do!

You have your opinion. I have mine.

You cannot hide who funds you, it has to be declared if it’s over £500.

Because the current political parties are scared they are trying every tactic in the book to discredit the Brexit Party.

They don’t have a manifesto yet as they are only 5 weeks old.
The plan is to involve the whole 100,000 members in the creation of the manifesto. That could be a good thing or it could be a car crash. We will have to wait and see.

Low bank is correct. There is absolutely nothing suspicious about a party whose leaders whole raison d'etre is supported by Russia only accepting a maximum donation of £499 via an anonymous source. It is clearly a coincidence that £500 donations and above need to be accounted for, and the suggestion that the Brexit Party could be financially backed by a country like Russia is conspiracy theory nonsense. When has anyone in the party's leadership ever had questionable financial arrangements or borderline treasonous agendas?

No. Nigel Farage is a stand up citizen and would never collude with any foreign hostiles against this country for the advancement of his own interests.

The fact you've said "obviously it does" suggests that you don't really agree with your own point.

In terms of the Commission, how would you want them to be answerable. The President obviously already is elected (they represent the biggest party and the parties have all named their presidential candidates), and the appointments overall have to be approved by the Parliament that we voted for, but how would you like the remaining members to be elected? Would we just vote for the UK member (which I guess we do by proxy at the moment as they are appointed by the government that we vote for) or would we also be voting for the other countries' representatives.

I can't say that I'm that enamoured with the current way it's done but I struggle to think of a better method. How would you like it done?
