[Politics] Brexit

[studio150]

So the EU economy isn't as important as was suggested to us. I see.

We are leaving as I have been told countless times. The building sector is in recession so given statements made by others on this thread they are always first so the UK will be in recession next year. Those that voted out voted to make me and themselves poorer so the focus must be on the UK economy as we are being thrown into a trading world where barriers and tariffs will be the norm given comments by other leaders

Not exactly news worthy given the amount of times he does it

"Labour will not block hard Brexit – but will rely on 'moral pressure"

The country imo doesn't have a mandate for hard Brexit. Think this is it for me and the Labour Party if they're not going to fight a hard Brexit.

Lovely quote from Caroline Lucas in that, accusing Labour of "premature capitulation"

Who are you trying to kid about a mandate HT? We.were.fed.all.the horror.stories.about brexit before the referendum, and we still voted.for.it , I never saw any mention of hard or soft brexit in the run up.

He didn't say that though, did he? He said that they wouldn't vote against triggering of A50 and made it very clear that Labour are in favour of access to the single market.

The idea of Corbyn trying to whip a vote against A50 is fanciful at best, how many MPs do you think would rebel?

Hard and sort were not the terms used but there was plenty of discussion about the different models e.g. Norway/Switzerland and full withdrawal with WTO deals. Amounts to the same thing just different language.

Besides, 52/48 isn't a clear mandate in my mind. Even Farage agrees with me on this

Think you'll find they are trying not to alienate themselves in case a GE is called.

Possibly. Irrespective of this they're currently not a party I can align myself with. And if I don't like something, or I don't feel welcome, I tend to just move on.

Genuine question given that this thread is now up page 2166

Is the longest thread ever in the history of NSC?

It's extremely good news, hopefully the Government will now get them to pay more than a nominal amount of tax.

Exactly. We was told leave means Leave. No going back by the fear campaigners.

It was ALWAYS going to be close.Always. 48/52 is a majority just not the one you was after. Other way around would've been clear enough for you wouldn't it?

1 MILLION VOTES that's good enough in anyone's book
