I'm not a fan of a PV though because, yes, I fear the stupidity of the CT gammons who think like you. A quick question CT, so you admit this deal is fucking atrocious? If so, what dies that tell you about the relative leverage of the EU and UK, and the feasibility of no deal? Of course he's against it, it goes against his reason for leaving in the first place. Then again a Canada style deal would see Nissan closing... It's almost as if we can't have our cake and eat it.

My instinct as of now is that this deal will pass the commons with a significant, If not total, Labour backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given where we are and without actually knowing the deal / political declaration, this sounds like something that the vast majority of voters would be happy with. Obviously not at each extreme. Once the PR kicks in and business, unions etc jump on board, we’ll see the polls in favour of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton didn't ask about the vast majority of voters, he asked about you. Are you happy with what we've got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was saying a couple of days ago - I think a lot of the "leavers were stupid" school of pv advocates have still not acknowledged why people voted and suggested action (I don't think leavers were right but I understand some of the underlying attitudes).

I might go to the US or Canada. That's if the economy tanks ofc. I appreciate I dont get FOM that way but it's better than being stuck on a rock with no potential.

No, and while she brought up the stereotype about french people smelling bad herself as well, she doesn't as far as I can tell. Having said that I have a sinus condition which diminishes my sense of smell, so maybe it's doing me a favour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
