Right.
So can I Go Large on a massive liberal landslide at the next general election, then?
Or is politics a tiny bit more complicated than that?

'Referendums are advisory but you should implement the result'. Is that a paraphrase of what you actually wrote? If so, I don't follow the logic...
Regards your 'original point', yes - but please see the point I made on hashtag147

Although the join dates would indicate otherwise, I believe that when Bozza decided that year zero was July 2003, there isn't any record of when any of us prior to that joined NSC, so you and I are prehistoric
Should have emigrate as an option. I'd go tomorrow if I could.
Whereabouts in Canada? Know a few who buggered off to Alberta and haven't looked back. Cost of living can be an issue, especially vancouver.
That's good.The consequences of Brexit will never be 'done'.....Well i’ve been on this forum longer than you and ill never tire of your Brexit threads and polls

Politics is as complicated as you want to make it. Look no further than Trump, who reduces everything to a binary question, decides what he thinks best, then acts.Right.

I'm not saying the Lib Dems are going to win the next election, nothing of the sort. However, they're the third largest party with 72 seats, they're the first major UK party to start rowing back on Brexit and, unlike 2019, when anything Remain was politically toxic we are 6 years on and have lived with the consequences of Brexit for 5 years.
If Starmer can't kickstart growth then there are going to be three parties endorsing Brexit and only one proposing a Customs Union. In that scenario support for the Lib Dems can only grow, and that means Labour getting squeezed on the EU issue by Ed Davey while getting battered on immigration and everything else by Reform.

I live in Vancouver, Kitsilano specifically. Cost of living is high, but wages are higher here. Real estate is crazy though.
I know a lot of people who moved from BC to Alberta because of the lower cost of living. Calgary especially is quite affordable and wages are still the same for the most part.

You kinda imply that is more difficult to get out of this country than into it.
Well, the net immigration figures certainly back this up....

The Labour government was imposed on me without my consent, but that's democracy. At least you got the chance to vote, unless you'd prefer to live in a country where such things are decided for you.After Brexit, my European identity was taken from me without my consent.
My mate and his family moved over to Alberta. She's an ITU Nurse and earning way more than uk and can afford a much bigger house than the one they had in Crowborough. They also ski a lot every weekend. For them, it was a no brainer and good luck to them.

Good effort, but not quite sure the analogy works. With Brexshit, my citizenship, and all the rights that go with it, were taken away. Permanently. Can you think of a similar consequence of living under a Labour government?
I lived in Kits in the 80s.
You are living in absolute lotus land and I hope your life in general is equally blessed
If the economy is f***ed in 4 years I can see Starmer considering options...

Does everybody assume that if somehow we got another referendum and voted to return, the EU would welcome us? I think they may consider the risk of another resignation to be too great.

I'm very blessed to have the opportunity to live where i do, and I am reminded of it every morning and evening when I walk the dog down Kits beach looking across at the mountains.I lived in Kits in the 80s.

The French could well veto it, or make a whole load of new costs/conditions.
This was recently mentioned by experts with regard to the mooted youth mobility scheme. Labour and some continental governments are very keen, but the French want to tie in unrelated stuff. In addition, Sweden, Greece, Portugal, Luxembourg and France all have high youth unemployment rates.

I'm guessing that having had a looong weekend to think about it, there will be a few really well thought out cases of what aspects we should do harder
Because a balanced debate is what it's always about, isn't it

I think they would, but the terms would be far less agreeable than previous.
