By “unanimously”, do you mean ‘about 35%’? Because that’s the vote share of the overtly pro-Brexit parties. The overtly pro-remain parties? A measly 35% of the vote. #unanimousbrexitlandslide
It was only 14% in the more progressive Scotland. The sooner we are rid of English nationalism the better.That way we can build the new Jeruselem.

Labour can't see the elephant in the room. Corbyn is a vile obnoxious racist, the British people don't want someone like that as Prime Minister.

They need war.

The world is broke as well as broken.

The bloke on question time the other night who made this comment regarding British steel.

The Chinese have produced more steel in the last 2 years than the uk has produced in its History.
Think about that for a minute .......

Nobody can compete with them & those numbers.
But nobody can really do much because the Chinese own everyones debt.

This splits of far right & far left are being played hard .

In the free world the rise of the hard right & the anger is being fuelled

Israel is a major player in this as always because of where it is based .

Islam is rising & those in military power seem quite happy to let them plan & carry out there attacks short term

Why because it fills the world with fear.

The Banks , the governments & the establishment in General have lost control of US the general public.

We take money that is not ours & run up debts we cannot afford to repay & so we help to feed the cycle .
In the old days we paid our debts , now the bailiffs come & most debt is written off.

They need us to fear again, they need us to be culled
They are building HATE slowly but steadily & the young will be there fodder once more.

War is coming , its Gaurenteed profit .

They wont use nukes , that doesnt make any money during war. It only makes money in times of peace.

Who will be the powers after ?

No doubt the Russians The Americans & probably the Chinese.

The stage is set for another European war with smalerr skirmishes elsewhere.
I don’t plan on reading more than one line anyway but is there any chance you can write full sentences going forward? Everytime you contribute, and i use that word in the loosest term possible, what you say is virtually unreadable.

No doubt the 2 major parties will furiously be doing calculations the next few days to see whether they should go hard leave to bring back the Farridge voters (Tories), or be clearer about calling for a confirmatory public vote (Labour). After all, you don’t need to win much more than 35% of the popular vote at a GE to form a government, and that will dictate their re-positioning on the brexit issue.
Sounds a bit populist. Do either party have any views of their own?

Im so sorry im not an author or a journalist.

Just read it like its an informal chat .

Makes much more sense that way.

Bullet points are far easier to read when they are not surrounded by fastidious ramblings .

I urge more people to do this ,

It's all kicking off in Sweden. A loud firecracker was thrown near the crowd at a political rally with Jimmie Åkesson, leader of the Sweden Democrats. It's the second such incident in two days.

I wonder if all the people on here who thought it’s ok to throw a milkshake over Farage think that it’s ok to throw a firecracker? Be interesting to see what they say on this point.

I agree that would be interesting.

While we're canvassing opinions, it would also be interesting to see if people on here who support Farage and Yaxley-Lennon can tell the (quite obvious) difference between an object that can cause injury and disfigurement from an object that causes humiliation and embarrassment.

Again people are missing the point. Its not necessarily what is thrown at whom but the fact that anything can be thrown and hit a politician.
I personally couldn't stand John Prescott but it wasn't right when he got egged years ago.

That people can evade any security measures and hit someone with an object is what should be taken seriously not making it dependant on the person involved and the object thrown.

Remainers seem to find it hard to accept that Leave has won another vote on Brexit. The country is behind leaving the EU and I don’t see anything that suggests otherwise.

I think Piers Morgan has hit the nail on the head with his tweet which said.

In a late change in to how football is won, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenhams points are added up and London is now he official champions of the premier league.

When you find yourself fighting on the same side as Piers Morgan, it may be time to reconsider your position.

If you think that explicitly pro remain parties receiving a higher proportion of the vote than explicitly leave parties means the country is fully behind leave, then I get how you arrived upon your definition of unanimous. Maybe Lib Dems and greens making huge gains at council election, on top of the EU results, signals that people in large parts of the country are trying to say can we bail out of this cluster f***?

So much crap being spoken on this subject.

Are we going to be in a position in future general elections where the winning party are prevented from forming a government because the other parties votes added together show that the majority didn't vote for them?

I thought Morgan’s comment was funny. However, he’s posted it on the basis of remainers moaning about the results.

It’s interesting that people are saying remain won cos if you add up the percentages then they won. Step forwards for example Tony Blair. So once again it’s remainers moaning about a democratic vote.
