Do you think that the opposition parties should vote in favour of government policy decisions they don't agree with?

I thought they'd agreed to uphold the referendum, which was to leave. :shrug:

Whether they agree or not (which Jezza does I believe) is irrelevant.

They have.

They haven't agreed to having to endorse the Government's policy decision on the referendum, whatever they come up with.

It's like if we had an advisory referendum on 'Do you want an NHS?' and the result was yes, and then Parliament then voted to uphold the referendum. That doesn't then mean the opposition parties have to vote in favour of and accept the the Government's future policy decision on the NHS.

They all set out their positions in their manifestos for the last election.

Pretty certain that Labour's position was to leave with a deal, and not leave without a deal ? ???

An emotional moment for you. Did you consider practicalities before you voted on your emotion? As we trip over a cliff edge with a now, very potential no deal, what do you think will happen?

No, of course, I didn't I have 2 young children and I want to screw their lives up forever.

There really is no need to panic life goes on and evolves, it will expand and shrink, that's life, as long as Kim does start playing silly buggers with his rockets we have nothing to fear.

If their pulse doesn't race and their chest doesn't enlarge after listening to that then it's:
1) Time they went home
2) or they have a pacemaker
3) or they are probably a jellyfish

A jellyfish has no ears or eyes or nose and no brain or heart! They do not even have a head. Their body is almost totally made of water and is soft having no bones at all. Jellyfish are invertebrate animals because they do not have a spine or backbone.

When they voted to uphold the referendum, pre-election, were these caveats included?

Gosh, well done you for calling out someone linking to an extreme far right/nazi site, three years ago.

And wow, Soulman, whatever happened to him. He was a dick. I do remember him linking to some shitty, right wing blogs posing as 'news' sites but must have forgotten this gem. The Daily Stormer?? :lol:

Or

4) The idea of being 'patriotic' to a specific country, one who's borders you, you being the one sperm that happened to win that particular race, happened to be born within feels a bit silly.

I found this interesting, on the subject of how lucky we were to even be born, let alone to be born with a prosperous country: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/probability-being-born_b_877853

So what's the probability of your being born? It's the probability of 2.5 million people getting together -- about the population of San Diego -- each to play a game of dice with trillion-sided dice. They each roll the dice -- and they all come up the exact same number -- say, 550,343,279,001.

Possibly not the right thread for it but I'm 'patriotic' in that I love being English but I've got no sworn allegiance to its borders just because I ended up being born here. I could have just as easily been born a girl in Shanghai than a boy in Shoreham.

They voted to uphold the result through the triggering of Article 50 in March 2017.

In April 2017 Parliament was dissolved and a General Election called.

From that moment on, whatever happened in March 2017 was irrelevant. No Parliament can bind it's successor.

Patriotism.

A state of mind which demands someone in Dover should celebrate the achievements of someone in Newcastle (350 miles away) while shunning the achievements of someone in Calais (22 miles away).

So which of the Leave campaign lies did you fall for and want them to uphold ?

The indefinable 'good deal'

or

The unimplementable 'no deal'

:facepalm:

At that point it was clear from even the Leave campaign that we would only leave with a deal already in place. Leaving without a deal wasn't even in discussion at that point.

It was their naivety and their pig ignorance that the EU should just bow down to their demands, then they bitched and complained that they weren't allowed to get what they wanted.

Now, like a child in the playground, they're just picking the ball up and going home.

I've been digging through some of the replies on that thread. This one made me chuckle in a "oh my word this is literally real life and it is really real and not the plot of a terrible political thriller you find in the bargain bin of WH Smiths" way
