[Politics] Brexit

[daveinplzen]

Leave supporters are quite aware of the reasons an Election is being opposed, but what can you say, they prefer to tell porkies.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Oh dear, still using Yougov as a credible polling?

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Oh look, Remain supporters who spent ages calling leavers chicken for not wanting another vote now defending the Remain alliance not wanting another vote and questioning the impartiality of a reputable polling company ...

 

[daveinplzen]

... and persisting in trying to deflect away the reasons an election is being opposed.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

.... and covering for the Labour Leader lying to/misleading parliament.

“I repeat what I said last night, Mr Speaker: Let this Bill pass and gain Royal Assent, then we will back an election.”

Would you be happy with a no-deal Brexit?

A reputable polling company co-founded by a Tory MP? Yes, of course, it is completely impartial.

I wouldn't be 'happy' with a no-deal Brexit but if the choice is between no deal and ignoring the wishes of 17.4 million, no deal it is.

Yep. Care to provide any examples where YouGov has altered its findings for party political reasons or been proved to be biased in any way? Is Kantar biased too?

So the wishes of 17.4 million, in a country of 60 million need to have their emotions soothed, rather than avoid economic chaos to the country for possibly decades.
Cool. Thanks for letting me know the mind-set. Makes complete sense.

Quite mind-boggling, really.

Whataboutery.

 

[The Clamp]

Quite mind-boggling, really.

And how many of those 17.4 million want No Deal? Their majority dwindles with the slightest scrutiny.

Neo-Nazis chanting Boris's name outside parliament.

That's all you need to know.

It doesn't have to alter its findings, it just knows its demographic.

Has anyone on Nsc had a phone call or email asking you to take place in a poll from Yougov? Anyone stopped in the street and asked for their opinion?

Indeed, but they are happy to ignore all that, because facts mean so little to them.

I would probably chant his name too, because he is the only one respecting the result of the referendum.

 

[Simster]

If the TV dramatisation of the Brexit events are anything to go by and I am led to believe they were quite accurate then dislike is putting it mildly

I am going to make a cup of tea, over which I am going to think about which one is the bigger turd. I may need the time it takes to drink two cups of tea in truth.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

After years of austerity and recessions, how anybody actually wants a no deal Brexit and the disaster it will bring is totally beyond me, I can only assume they must be crackers.
Even if a fraction of the evidence a no deal would bring comes true, it will still be very damaging.
There is too much evidence that no deal will be bad for the country to ignore it.
No deal must be stopped by any way possible.
For god's sake think of the kids and not yourselves.

Well I'm sure you can all get together and find some common ground.
