[Politics] Brexit

[Is it PotG?]

What smug assumption? I never mentioned the Brexit vote. I just said voting is a moving thing. I voted yesterday.

Was the vote yesterday for Brexit?

What do you mean “restart”? It’s ongoing.

He suggested stopping Brexit based on LOCAL elections so yes, restart - that's what happens when something is stopped and then starts again. English not your first language ?

So many posts trying to gather a crumb of comfort that the council results are a clear indication of brexit's imminent demise. This vote was a vote that not only included votes from remainers who voted remain parties, but also, millions of leavers voted for anyone but the tories or Labour as an expression of their dissatisfaction of how the main parties have failed to deliver brexit.

Unicorns have clearly switched sides here and now they are freely gamboling along in the sunny pastures of remainers dreams.

You are making a lot of assumptions about why people have voted the way they did. I'm sure you have done extensive research into the motives of everyone who voted.
Those of us who are less fanciful are pointing out that certain parties have won a lot of votes and others have lost a lot of votes. I don't see anyone else making wild assumptions as to the reasons.

Have you thought of a career as a spin doctor?

No, it was largely for Remain (supporting parties).

Do keep up.

Aaaah. I see. I thought it was local elections.

Voting is democratic no matter what it is for. You are the one bringing brexit into the conversation.

Calm down. I just misunderstood his post, no need to unleash Brexit Rage.

Nothing has been stopped, just delayed.

It was undeniably about Brexit.

Silly me, on a Brexit thread.

Good to see the swivel eyed emotional voters still clinging to the hope of plunging the country into economic uncertainty. Convinced it is pretty much solely based on not wanting to look like stupid ***** and just plain wrong about what they have said on forums, and down the pub. Much better for the country to suffer than they are proved wrong isnt it.

So come the European elections, when pro-Brexit parties win a majority of the vote, you'll agree to restart Brexit then ?

Well seeing as MEPs have no say whatsoever in whether Britain leaves or stays in the EU that would be as foolish as voting UKIP at a local election and expecting it to change things, wouldn't it ?

My votes in this local election had nothing to do with my views on Brexit. Only an idiot would link the two.

But I'm sure, despite what you think, that not everyone who voted UKIP at the last few local and EU elections are idiots

My card had something about local elections on it. Missed the EU/Brexit/In-Out bit.

I wasn't referring to you, merely the wealth of short posts claiming brexit is dead and that its clearly indicative etc. Don't be so reactive.

But can you read between the lines?

Have a look at all the comments, even those from people you agree with. Plenty of brexit comments from remainers.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Yes. Still missed those words having looked again.

Evidence?

They showed their dissatisfaction by voting in large numbers for a party that wants to REMAIN? Wow, that really is thick.

Then, like most Leavers, you have failed to spot the glaringly obvious.

These elections were all about Brexit. Anyone claiming otherwise is just playing dumb. It’s expected.
