Is Brexit actually going to happen?

Will we have a brexit?


  • Total voters
    362
If Labour had come out on a platform of remaining in the EU and withdrawing Article 50 for the June 2017 election, they'd have trounced the Tories. Yes, some Labour-Leave voters would have bitched about it, but there was enough information and opportunity then to make the case for remaining in the EU to persuade enough of them that leaving would be absolutely NOT in their best interest (as we absolutely know to be the case now.) Even if some stayed home or cast protest votes for UKIP or AN Other, I'm sure Labour still would have picked up enough seats to form a majority.

Opportunity missed. Big fucking opportunity missed.

You'd be really entertaining if you weren't so unpleasant. This is comedy gold.
 
If Labour had a different leader I think they'd cream the Tories at the moment. Even with the same policies.

Oh .. and if they booted David Lamy out.

This is interesting. A deviation from the standard "It's all Corbyn's fault"; apparently it's because of Corbyn and David Lammy, who hates Corbyn.

Where do you stand on say, Keir Starmer, Dennis Skinner and Yvette Coopet?
 
Just read something about pallets and us not having enough blue pallets or something like that, so yeah pallets now
 
May called the bloody thing in hopes of consolidating Tory support for her as leader and "her" Brexit, so yes, I would say it was the most important issue for the election.
This isn't even coherent on your own fantastical terms. If leaving the EU was the most important issue of the election you must conclude the that strong majority of voters support leave as both the Labour and the Tories were signed up leave..

Not sure about your reasoning there. I doubt leave went from gnat's bollock majority to 'strong majority' in under a year. There were too many other factors at play in that election to make that claim.

Would you claim that in 2015 a majority of voters supported austerity? Or was there simply no credible party opposing it?

E2a: Just spotted the 'If' in your post. Carry on :oops:

if anything will shift the DUPs position on no deal - it will be the threat of a pallet shortage .

I'm not making any such claim. CRI is, or at least that where her claim that the EU was the most important issue at the last election logically leads.

I've got a load of plastic ones I've been keeping for precisely this kind of eventuality. You don't need to heat treat plastic :cool:
