Second referendum (split from the gammons thread)

[Yorkie62]

The Brexit movement is slowly falling apart. The pro-Brexit protest march was "small".

Not forgetting the anti Iraq war march, that was very large and really help to sway Tony Blair's actions.....NOT

I think it's also worth pointing out, if an agreement was not reached the Tory government promised to leave with a no deal (this was in their general election mandate).

It's also worth pointing out that the Tories don't have a majority in Westminster and hence cannot deliver what they promised in their manifesto. They barely have a majority on the same page in their own party, let alone cross party.

This is what the public are struggling to comprehend; if a party does not command a majority, it cannot deliver what it promised. Or will you be trying to hold all the other parties in Westminster to their manifestos too?

Blair had a majority in Westminster and had control of his party. He also had support in Westminster cross party for the Iraq war. As such, he could do pretty much what he liked.

But Tony Blair wasn't in such a precarious political position.

My apologies for sending my last post way over your heads. What I was inferring was the futility of such demonstrations. Not matter how big the numbers involved our ruling politicians will continue to do as they please.

Do they? How many times has May been overturned while she has been Prime Minister?

[woohoo]

They don't need to deliver it. It's the default option if an agreement can't be reached. But you now hear in interviews they are talking of another ref, custom union etc.

Were you really? Not implying anything then.

Jolly good. Cretin.

The futility of some members of the public saying one thing, then the ruling party just do as they please.

...ah, bless.

It's the inability to distinguish between infer and imply that I find most endearing.
