[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

[GB9]

You're assuming that a GE would be a choice between Remain and Leave, but it's not, it's a choice between "Soft Brexit" and "Hard Brexit". There are a huge number of leave voters that don't want a "Hard Brexit", and a lot of young voters who didn't bother last time, motivated to get out there.

Ha ha. Delusional.

Don't forget both this week's polls showing a move to Leave.

I suspect all this political irrelevance will be overtaken by economic events.
Prices were already rising due to the weak pound and now with the spike in oil (non-Brexit related) they'll rise even faster.
Even without a dramatic negative economic event on the the level of the national economy (which is a possibility given the huge debt overhang) , people - particularly the Brexit demographic - are soon going to notice the squeeze.
Let's see what happens then ...

Unelected how?

Are you trying to sound ignorant?

she was selected by her party to become leader so the public didn't actually elect her to be Prime Minister.

This differs from the EU model because at least May was elected to be an MP, she wasn't plucked off the street by a subset of Parliament like Junckers.

You are simply oozing desperation from every pore. Comical.

Given the accuracy of polls recently (Brexit, Trump, Richmond, they've usually been exactly the opposite of what happened) you should be worried.

True. I'm desperate for a hard Brexit and I don't think it'll happen, dammit.

"Soft Brexit" also means Leave doesn't it

Allowing EU citizens the right to live and work in Britain is seen as acceptable by 52% of people (33% think it would be fine, 19% think it would be undesirable but a price worth paying). 33% think that allowing EU citizens to live and work here would be unacceptable, and it would be better not to have a deal at all than accept it

33% is not a majority is it.

Just done my bit for the British economy. Sold all my UK shares and bought the proceeds with Swiss francs.

You're welcome.

Brexit means Brexit. If those foreigners don't like it we will park our gun boats in their ports until they do.

Maybe not.

Maybe the French will lend us some gun boats so we can park them in Calais?
