FFS.
And Remain would definitely lose, despite Leave not being the preferred option since early 2017? OK then.

The biggest poll since the ref was carried out this month, and 54% supported leaving.

So you listen to one poll that gives the result you like, and ignore the dozens that say the opposite.

No problems having a confirmatory referendum on the deal then.

Shame he will be remembered for this opus

 

[dingodan]

Prediction:

HoC vote down the deal on Saturday.

Benn Act triggered.

Extension refused.

HoC pass the deal between Saturday and 31st.

No, you said leave had never led a poll since the ref.

I corrected you.

You are the one apparently picking and chosing your polls.

2nd Ref tagged on to deal

extension granted

who knows how a second ref will end up

What would be interesting is how in a GE Johnson would stand - on his deal or a no deal - if it got there.

Don't forget the four horsemen, the rapture and the return of Jedward.

Ah, assume that everyone who didn't vote would have agreed with you.

Good plan.

Fact is a deal is done. Stability and the end of uncertainty is around the corner.

Are you going to stick to your hard remain guns and refuse to compromise?

If you get your 2nd vote, you would lose it anyway, and many of you calling for a 2nd vote would then go on to refuse to accept it again.

Thank f*ck this will be over in less than two weeks.

Sorry to disappoint you but nothing, absolutely nothing will be over in two weeks.......

If only the country had accepted one of the better deals that were on the table.


Oh well let's just accept this one instead.




It would seem we get the politicians we deserve - Morons.

I know you're just fishing but you can't possibly say what the non-voters want. If you abstain in such an important vote then you lose your voice ….. tough shit, regardless of if you support remain or leave.

So now Johnson's deal has been published in full, is it the 'good deal' that you've been waiting for ?

I completely understand that some extremist loons would prefer the UK to become a Vassal state rather than see the UK make a clean break and forge a new role in the world.

I assume JCFG is still considering whether it's the 'good deal' he has been waiting for

The HoC will never agree to a second ref.

Some will absolutely vote for it.

But you'll never get a majority to vote for that, no chance.

70% of Labour Constituencies voted to Leave the EU.

The leave/remain vote was relatively close in the ref, but in terms of constituencies, it's estimated that 421 out of 574 English and Welsh constituencies voted to Leave.

How is there 66 million registered voters? Are you counting children in that figure? And criminals, and people not eligible to vote?

 

[Stat Brother]

If only the first referendum had the knowledge attached to it that has been presented to the country in it's wake.

I think the game changer is a lot of them are not standing for re-election, so they wont really care that they have to stand again.

Fishing must be your hobby Stat !!!

End of Union - Which Union ? The EU ? Good. The UK ? The Scots were always going to leave eventually.
Workers’ rights trashed - exactly what evidence is there of this ? All current EU legislation is to be transposed into UK law
Environmental protections ending - rubbish, we have better environmental laws than the EU
Huge hit to trade - in the short term
Huge slump in growth - a small slump in growth, the word huge is just project fear. Apparently we were due a HUGE slump in growth the moment we voted leave …. hmmm
Jobs going - some yes
Chlorinated chicken - what a load of scaremongering. Also, if it did happen ( which it won't ), just don't buy it if it bothers you that much
NHS for sale to US - yet again, project fear
End of right to work, retire & live in 30 countries - weird, I know people that worked in these countries before we joined the EU ( ECC ). People retired there before as well. People lived there before. Actually I know people that have done all three activities in countries OUTSIDE the EU. Who would have thought it ?? Project Fear again.

Well you would like to think that they wouldn't be so irresponsible as to drop a lit match on the carpet on their way out.

They may not have to face the consequences, but their parties will.

No doubt there are some of them who are "remain at all costs", but only a few with that extreme/hard view you would think.

No I didn't. I said Leave hasn't been the preferred option since early 2017. That is broadly true, and the stats back that up.

I never said Leave hasn't won a single poll since early 2017, simply that the preferred option - i.e. the general consensus - has been Pro-Remain.
