There’s a Brexit bonus then. For the Spanish

Sad she won’t have her cabinet positions much longer

They always use that though. It’s their get out when it’s pointed out how long they’ve been in power. I.e. it was a previous administration. It’s ridiculous but they’ve spent the last god knows how long lying their arses off

There’s no nuance to your argument though. It’s “it was one person, one vote - therefore it was democratic”. How is that being open to other views? It’s been done to absolute death on here but there are loads of arguments (which you may not agree with of course) that the vote, the campaign and the subsequent implementation were not democratic.

This is what I was replying to. It’s not ambiguous at all.

Was replying to a different post, hence the deletion.

No, that’s inaccurate. You elect the MP to represent you in Parliament, irrespective of whether or not their party is in power. And you could rebuild a building that had been demolished. So factually incorrect and a bad analogy 👍🏻

Yes, you’re right. We never revisit who should be in government via the medium of subsequent elections. So that was a brilliant way of illustrating your point

None of which alters the fact that the link you posted literally states they didn’t have as it wasn’t legally binding. Are you suggesting governments always keep their promises, therefore anything they say must be subsequently carried out? Your line of argument on this is frankly ridiculous.

She’s used that exact line before with the circumstances you mention being pointed out.

Any vote that can’t be reversed is undemocratic.

I can see you’ve put a lot of thought into this, weighing up the potential pros and cons

Just releasing a written statement would’ve smacked of cowardice and would’ve just been kicking the issue into the long grass. But it still would’ve been better than that. She’s just horrendous at everything.

I think it was that it was completely his decision, or words to that effect

Not now, Cato!

They aren’t they competent / clever. It may transpire (nothing would surprise me at this point) but it’s not some master plan

One of the shortest lookalike careers ever you’d think

Canny effort when you consider his reign included party conference season and an extended period of national mourning

Fancy Dan (c) Leazes

Except Kinnear

I agree on the whole. However, while I’m not remotely a fan of the others you mention, I think they’re all more diligent / professional than Bruce.

He said he was going nowhere so I guess we should expect the opposite with this lot

I think they might actually strike this time

It’ll be a u-turn which they’ll try and frame as not being one. But it won’t wash.

Tbf he should know all about not having credibility
