QUOTE (newres @ Jan 1 2019, 09:35 AM) Well they were wrong. However MPs can now ask us just to make sure we're sure. May's deal or remain. I'm content now to accept either, though I think it's better to remain. A hard Brexit with no deal is off the table. I disagree, if we don’t brexit properly, then the EU sceptics will remain as a political cancer.

QUOTE (newres @ Jan 1 2019, 07:00 AM) I take that back. All Brexiteers are Gammons, but not all that voted Brexit are Brexiteers. Many have changed their minds. I would say there are as many who voted remain who now so sickened by the whole fiasco would join the leave brigade, as leavers who now believe and side with the project fear element. The one thing that no one has pointed out is that if we do have another plebiscite we can not refuse Scotland a second say on independence. So there is more at stake than a few jollies in Strasbourg.

I think there’s a tendency to think those that post on these forums are representative.

The angry brigade are definitely on the right and threatening violence if “democracy” isn’t honoured as if giving people a final say isn’t democracy. The people voted to leave the EU. TM’s deal delivers exactly that.

If so, fine. Problem is that the right don't like it and Labour are opportunistically seeking an election out of it. The result is it won't get through parliament. It's Rees Mogg and his cronies scuppering the referendum.

I may be wrong but no one can see the future. It's just opinion. Like yours.

Sensible people have better things to spend their money on, which just leaves the "celeb" types and 15 year old school girls to decide our future. Worth a try say I.
