The Brexit aftermath thread

[zealo]

Well I am sure there is nothing more desired by EU autocrats and the chattering classes then just ignoring an election.

The EU is not ignoring the British referendum. Negotiations on how to disentangle Britain from the EU is happening in Brussels.

Rather it's the British government that expects the EU to just bend over and not defend EU interests in this.

[Very Tired]

Seems like the EU is going to a self fulfilled prophecy. Trying to make the deal end up horribly so they can point to it later as proof of why it's bad to leave the EU because you can plainly see how horribly it ended.

it wasn't 52%.

in reality it was more like 55% when you account for margin of error.

clear majority for leave, and growing as each day passes.

Man, there will be nothing left of the UK in a few years. This will hurt them beyond believe.

Interesting how a country that once ruled 1/3 (!) of the world changed into a tiny piece of land that has no real power or influence anymore in the world in under a 100 years time. And let's not even start about the mess they have in their cities, which are becoming less liveable every year.

I've heard plenty of people who voted Leave saying that they wished they'd voted Remain.

Never seen anyone who voted Remain saying they wish they'd voted to Leave.

except, you know, the whole of the labour front bench and conservative front benches.

ie: the people who matter.

Going along with the will of the public doesn't mean that they wanted to vote Leave, it means they are doing they're jobs as representatives of the public.

It's there job.

Yeah totally, they aren't dragging there heels looking for a way out or anything.

But hey, you called me a silly name, so that means my points don't mean anything anymore, oh well.

Yeah, securing the rights of millions of EU citizens residing within the UK is really just trying to make a deal end up horribly. Screw the EU, they obviously don't care for their citizens at all!

[Mayhem]

Aren't you special - there is no "margin of error" in an election, seriously you should consider not posting anymore to avoid further embarrassment.

Nooooooooooo...

That and that it would be political suicide to reverse course against the people's will, even if it ends up screwing Britain.

why? you're the one moaning because you hate democracy.

[Kiri]

why? you're the one moaning because you hate democracy.

How does he hate democracy when you are the one implying that decisions made with a slim majority had a 3% counting error? This ain't no poll, this was an officially collected and counted vote.

[zealo]

why? you're the one moaning because you hate democracy.

Because not voting in a national referendum is a choice in itself. There is no margin of error when part of the electorate decides it isn't worth their time to make their voice heard.

[Acidbaron]

Wrong. He did present them on time. Stop making shit up with no proof, and I know that for a fact, because you didn't even know these documents existed. You bought their lies like a gullible dupe, exactly as predicted.

Very compelling argument, do tell me more.

Two options here either i believe the entire world, all the media were against him what is quite a feat and some real science fiction mind control stuff going on. Or i believe everyone else and not the guy that got sacked from his own party by not being able to deliver.

I told you plans were delivered too late, that does not mean or imply in any way it did not know these things existed, but i guess when you have no actual arguments it is best to make up things others said and then try to counter those fabrications. He promised the people of Greece that despite the decades of corruption, poor management, nation wide tax evasion, that they would not feel the burden at all and the EU would pay for it. That's the person you're defending here, the populist, the seller of lies.

And you want to call me gullible, good luck with that.

The platform of support for brexit is shrinking and has been for a while, it's a greater political risk to keep moving forward with the current messy strategy, this current division also points out how much of a disagreement there is among politicians regarding the brexit.

But it's too late now anyway it can't really be undone, especially not with a divided government they have now, they'll have to sit on the blisters and enjoy the bumpy ride downhill.

[Theodarzna]

Surely we can get this baby to 52%.

Oh come now, what sort of place would be with just You, Felya, Endus, Skroe and company ceaselessly agreeing with one another?

At least we would be save from your quality opinions about elections.

reee i only want to hear my opinions on things reee

remoaners are so tiresome.

please just accept the will of the people and be optimistic about our brexit.

deal or no deal, exiting this failing union is the best thing we could've hoped for.

god bless nigel farage and boris johnson for their vision.

infracted - trolling

[Kallisto]

FPTP is awful, but it had no impact on an in/out referendum.

No but to think it had no impact on the recent general election is stupid at best, bullshitting at worse. Many like me KNOW that leaving the EU isn't just dumb it's the most stupid thing we can do as a country, yet due to FPTP, the only way we can tell Mrs May that this extremist way of ignoring the people, aka those that voted no, those who are allowed to vote in the general election but denied the vote in the referendum as well as those deemed too young to vote last year but could this year were to vote tactically against her which meant the x next to Labour candidates in most areas.

Hell the vast majority of people voted against the conservatives to the point that if the will of the people is something May cared about we'd be having a left if centre coalition running the country.

Not a conservative minority government backed up by the far right terrorist linked DUP.

Yes please shoot yourself in the foot because the people who were allowed to vote in a nonbinding referendum had a couple more people saying we all have to shoot ourselves. No matter how stupid it is.
