Okay - ita a cr4p idea - however at a minimum referedums need to be abolished - it is too divisive.

Referenda can't be abolished under the British parliamentary system.

Politicians don't think that way. As long as they get power, that's all that matters.

The Tories will hold a GE after Brexit because they will no longer want to be in government. Labour will win and the Tories can then blame Labour for the downturn in the economy rather than blaming Brexit.

Off to the gulag with you tovarich.

Why on earth do you think there'd ever be another election after the Useful Idiot becomes PM.

Yep, been saying it for weeks now.

Count back three weeks from 29th March, and that will be when TM fires the starting pistol
