ewerk 39233 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I think Johnson knows that no deal is not going to fly and yet has positioned himself in such a way to make it inevitable. A GE or referendum seems to be the only way out of it and I don’t see how he survives a GE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 5298 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I know I'm going to sound ludicrously naive but we could really do with someone banging all their heads together with a stated aim of what's best for the country right now and sort everything else later. I'd even take the fucking queen doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39233 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 When’s the last time you heard anyone on the Brexit side talk about what’s actually best for the country? That argument has been lost and they don’t want to discuss it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 5298 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 There are still some who think we'll be better off in the long run sadly. I think the majority are in the "just let it be over* camp not realising even if we come out "smoothly" there'll be another couple of years of shite.

Kid Dynamite 9340 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) I was saying this today. The worry is that Boris knows he's limited in how much power he wields as an unelected PM. The scary bit comes after a GE when Labour get annihilated and Boris, potentially on a joint ticket with Farage, have a majority behind them to cause untold misery Edited July 25, 2019 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're fucking useless. The logic is that Corbyn was always a Brexit supporter, as evidenced by his lukewarm support for Remain prior to the referendum.

Not a single scientist or engineer this side of the Atlantic use them. These are the people that make things work. Basically there aren't the demographics to make a proposal like this work. It will merely fuck off millions of people. So is he just a stupid cunt or are we missing something? I've been on holiday for a week and it appears the country has literally gone insane.

Renton 27784 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) From twitter and supposedly a proper poll but I haven't checked the source. At first I thought it was a bit counterintuitive as some of the movement is from conservative to labour. But it makes sense. Tory remainers (wets) will not vote for Corbyn, who is percieved as an extremist. But they would hold their noses for a centrist labour candidate on a remain ticket. And of course people like me wouldn't defect to the lib dems. Corbyn is a fucking disaster for this country, rightly or wrongly.

NJS 5298 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'd say if he resigned (very unlikely but maybe he could be persuaded) the only likely centrist who could win the leadership would be Watson who I don't think is that appealing. I'm not quite sure where Starmer fits but I'd take him at the moment. Wanting to retain the bulk of the manifesto being the priority for me (plus stronger remain position obviously). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
