And if it splits the Labour vote too, like last time?He's too niche. It just won't happen, in our electoral system. But it splits the Tory vote, so it's all good
A thank you to Brexiteers.

I reported someone posting my real name recently and no action was taken. But we're all equal here, even if some are more equal than others. I reported lbj's post too, so I might have poisoned that well topcat

I think one of the reasons Remain lost because they mistakenly believed Brexit was about economics. It wasn't. it was about sovereignty, identity, and representation.
I am not French or German or Italian or whatever. I have no problem with Europeans, but I don't want to be one. I am English, and want politics to be carried out as close to home as possible. Looking back on it, that is ultimately why I voted Brexit.

the problem with politics being carried out as close to home as possible is that our politicians, the people carrying them out, are as sorry a bunch of incompetent, lacklustre, shitferbrains misfits and fuckwits in the worst sense of all those words as you'll ever encounter

You'll find that sentiment in just about every EU state as well tbh
Well I’d vote to ditch them in the channel too

Mogg doesn't seem to have heard about dropping the EU laws wholesale according to Trading Standards and other watchdogs:

Brexit rush to axe EU laws ‘puts safety standards at risk’
Trading standards officers fear ‘recklessly irresponsible’ legislation poses danger to public

Do you feel more English now that we’ve left ?

Maybe if we didn’t glorify the world wars so much in this country we wouldn’t have had to brexit. I reckon Poppy Day and all that is part of our problem.
Pretty sure the French manage to feel French and the Italians feel Italian without finding it necessary to leave in order to do so.

remembrance has become more mawkish as the number of actual ww2 veterans dwindled. but they highlight the world wars as the small wars of retreat from empire and the wars in iraq and afghanistan have much less cachet
I feel more recognised as English than I did before. Is there anything wrong with that?

More recognised as English by who? Foreigners?
I'm not actually trying to be rude i just really don't understand, but then i wouldn't cos different background.
