Show me a poll with a decent sample (say 25000) that has data spread evenly through the demographic and evenly spread geographically (with weighting for the density of population) and that isn't being run by a polling firm with an "agenda" and I may believe you..think you may struggle though
🤣

What are you wibbling about?

You really don't understand anything . It's very sad. Poor deluded soul. Polls are useless. Why not see the "evidence" of ahem "Polls" prior to Brexit and the U.S. election..they mean Jack sh1t. 😂

And do you know why???? It's liberal idiots that stop people having any "view" that is not politically correct. Then you end up with people voting how they actually feel in the ballot box but not discussing worries they may have..

Some of those polls are based on very little to be fair. One of them showed that they had asked 2000 people, that's really not representative at all. The one that newres shared seems to be the most accurate with a larger section of our society getting asked. However do polls matter? The biggest poll we have had on this was in 2016 when the electorate has the opportunity to show their opinion but that was 3 years ago and the data can't be considered to be a reliable reflection anymore, although at the time it was.

So whats the solution? There's only one way to find out what the current electorate want and that is to have another nationwide opinion poll. Could be done with NI numbers and internet voting. It's just an opinion poll so doesn't have to have a campaign, but would give the house of commons a much better idea of what it should or should not be voting through.

Or they could ask a question on an indicative basis on the EU election ballot papers?

Whatever happens, we're stuck until there's a GE that delivers a decent majority or there's a referendum.

A general election will only solve the problem if one party stands on a "leave" ticket and the other(s) on remain. The thought of repeating the process over the next 3 years will send the majority "mad", but I agree that a GE is preferable to another referendum.

I reckon in the event of a General Election, Labour would offer a vote on any deal. At the very least they would offer a customs union and single market. That alone would be a strong differentiation. Most remainers would settle for that as an acceptable compromise and it would end years of division that we're heading for with the Tories.

Not entirely sure the difference between a customs union and fully fledged membership? Apart of course in that membership allows us to veto certain directives whereas a customs union ties us to those directives irrespective of our position. Seems very much a halfway compromise to me but no doubt others see it differently.

It is a halfway compromise. We are out of the EU but with minimal economic consequences. People will say it prevents us negotiating our own trade deals, but leaving aside the relative power of 500 million compared to 50 million, the last three years have demonstrated the superior negotiating skills elsewhere in Europe. Once the argument “we’re British you know” failed, we were ******. laugh.gif

I wouldn't say you were "British" first. You are a European first and British second...

Meaningless!!! We are all aware that whatever elections throw up now will be argued over by the few so waste of time putting your shoes on for. Good news for JC though because he can now argue that he should be given a chance to f**k the country up because the tories are taking to long to do so. angry.gif
