Originally posted by Whorty View PostI didn't say MPs aren't out for their own self interest, I said they are not in it to get on the EU gravy train which is what you was implying. i don't think any sane person would disagree with you that the likes of Johnson are only in this game for their own self interest.
I agree, uncertainty is not good and the markets don't like it. The markets and most businesses don't like Brexit either, but you seem to want to ignore that fact.
1/3 of the country voted out. 1/3 voted remain. 1/3 did not vote. Following the 2016 referendum we had a GE in 2017. Westminster is made up of the MPs voted in via that democratic vote. Those MPs are now acting democratically as per the most recent UK wide vote. If you don't like democracy, go live in a dictatorship fella.
They are putting their country before the mantra from right wing zealots. They don't want us to be crashing out of the EU with no deal and would prefer to follow a controlled leave via a deal. Maybe they would prefer to leave under the circumstances that Farage and the others campaigned via the 2016 referendum (e.g. Norway +)
If it's one of your assumptions the it's highly likely fella.
I think you are, as usual, way off the mark and reading too much right wing, red top press.
HTHOriginally posted by Cirrus View PostOriginal, we've tried to explain to you on a number of occasions that you lack the ability to analyse things of any complexity whatsoever. You, and you fellow Brexiteers, jump at comforting over-simplicity. You seize on the word 'democracy' and apply you own, completely incorrect, naive interpretation. In the context of the UK, and its representative system, a referendum is actually contrary to the democratic principles of our country. As I've said before, Brexiteers and other religious/zany ideology people like you, have a right to express opinions and hold bonkers beliefs, but you shouldn't be voting or otherwise interfering in the general running of society. Look at the terrible mess that has been created. .Hard Brexit now!

Originally posted by DealorNoDeal View PostNo. Only a big majority, one way or the other, would have settled it. Even the Scottish referendum 44.5/55.5 was close enough that it hasn't shut the SNP up.Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment

Will there be 17.4 million people marching through London at the weekend complaining that Boris said they were leaving on the 31st but hasn't quite happened....“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostI am sure I missed the headline about 17.4 million people marching after the 31st March deadline was missed. I must read the papers more closely.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI think the headline would have been more like 17.4 million people voted and then just decided to sit on their fat arses and moanComment
