I think that was a general election. One of the party's is trying to have another, but 5 other parties have refused - so want to Britain closed for business. Why would you not want to sort this out?

Whoever wins can sort this out. But if there is a loophole or the EU refuse an extension, then we will be leaving without a deal. Not what most want, but we do need some certainty for everyone to move forward.

Nobody trusts Johnson before 31 Oct.

If he did not stick to his word. An immediate backlash from all voters, no more Tory party. The EU may even decide to allow new negotiations immediately to keep us in.

Unfortunately, i think that if forced to extend the deadline, Johnson may gain more than people realise. He can now prove that parliament is against people wishes. Only 60% of labour and 70% of conservative constituencies voted to leave. These will go against remain parties potentially.

If we do come out next month then the foreseeable future will all be about trying to secure trade deals. Anyone who thinks it'll finally be an end to it, or there will be any certainty, is going to be sorely disappointed.

Now listen Sonny, 17.5 million voted to leave the EU in the largest democratic vote in UK history. I don't remember on the ballot paper a bit that said if you voted to leave please go to question 2 ie. 'Do you want a hard or soft brexit or a deal or no deal deal. It was in or out. f*** all else, you can't keep changing the rules because you're throwing a hissy fit because you don't like the result. It's called DEMOCRACY, something you leftys just don't understand.

If you don't like it, then f*** off to your wonderdful EU. And that's something I did, 'cos London isn't my own thing anymore and I quite like being a forerigner in someone elses country these days.

It's the new "spin" of late that all our Brexit woes are down to the behaviour of MP's whereas the blame really lies squarely on the shoulders of the Conservative Party and this government. That the Tories are to blame is the view of many, including many Tory MP's.
You believe that. I'll stick to my opinion.

Brexit, IMO, is a bigger issue than party politics and all parties should have worked together to get the best deal for the country. Not spend years arguing, plotting and sabotaging to stop it happening for their own reasons.

The EU don't have to negotiate with us as Parliament Is full of self serving, incompetent tossers who don't know how to stand up for this country.
Yes, they are called conservative politicians.

Your still out of touch, get out of your bubble, out of London you'll get a vastly different Idea of how the country thinks. It's the other way round fella

Token wrote: Sun Sep 08, 2019 10:25 am The morning after the referendum Cameron shouldn’t have immediately resigned. He should've set a date for his departure and then held a consultation with all the parties as to how we left. Another referendum to confirm this then could’ve been held fairly soon after. Then we could trigger Article 50 and leave with the backing of all parties and the people.

Instead he cowardly left us in the poo poo. And May pressed ahead on her own. It never should’ve been down to the party in power to decide how we left. Had to involve all of them.

So every last part of this total catastrofuck lays squarely at the door of the Tories.

The only consolation is that once this is all finally over the Tory party will be left as the hard right English nationalist party responsible for destroying our economy and our society. And will never win an election again.
Yup, and I hope your last sentence proves true but there are a lot of plonkers who vote in this Country.

Your right there, you're one of them

I know what you mean - it’s mindbottling that anyone thinks BoJo The Clown is doing a good job. But the polls suggest otherwise, which makes me despair of many of my fellow Little Englanders. There must be a good 35% of the electorate who seem happy to self-harm on this issue and go over the no-deal cliff.

People dont want to hear it, but they dont know what they want. Immigration is clearly a massive driver, but neither campaign did anything to enlighten to electorate to what Brexit would actually mean. People who say 'i didnt want a no deal brexit, but do now, just to get out' are mostly lying imo. Barley anyone who voted even knew we would be negotiating a 'deal'. They assumed we'd say ta ta, leave on a certain date, be able to travel to spain twice a year and all would be rosey. People are blinkered and thick, in general society, regardless of which way they voted.

No it isn’t. Nobody voted for the DUP to control the government.

No-one.
