[Politics] Brexit
- Thread starter KingstonSeagull
- Start date
This is the surefire way to get a Corbyn government. I have suggested that this is the likely outcome since the vote.
1. Tories realise the unicorns Brexit isn't possible so make concessions.
2. Those sold a dream get angry because they have been betrayed
3. Rise of ukip.
4. Jezza as PM
So the right wing tories will have caused the most left wing government for generations.
Jezza would be a disaster which would empower the right even more and that is when really bad things are likely to happen.
Very simplistic, obviously, but looking like playing out so far.

I think you missed the key word in my post ..... here's a clue .... 'now'.
...... and at the next election after Jezza has flopped we get a very right wing government who will enact Brexit the hardest way possible. Imagine a Thatcher government on speed !
How about beneficial discussion between the people in charge instead of meaningless drivel, jostling for power and backstabbing? What the hell has the Tory infighting over Europe (as has always been) got to do with the opposition being crap?

I didn't miss the key word 'now' at all. Have a look around at the Brexit mess we're in 'now' and will be in the future. Farage, who never had any power in Westminster in the past anyway, still managed to play a significant part in creating this shambolic mess as a result of whipping up a populist protest against the establishment - 'now.' Power without responsibility - right 'now' in this chaos.

The thing which really troubles me is that wankers like Hunt, Johnson, Gove and Davis will all comfortably retain their seats in the next election - whenever that is. Whoever is going to oppose those people in the election should be in full campaign mode from now onwards. They should be appealing directly to their constituents to put pressure on the incumbents and to try and beat them in the next elections but we all know it won't happen.
If there is anything positive to come out of the shambles of the last couple of days, maybe the people who don't support the PM are now out of the way. If Davis and Johnson didn't want to support her and instead wanted to be twats, then good riddance. The problem is that it's difficult to believe anyone in the cabinet still supports her and/or believes in her vision for Brexit or anything else. She has been badly treated by her party since assuming the leadership at a time when nobody was interested in it and whilst I do think that her motivation for remaining might be the financial compensation or something closely linked to it - if she steps down, the chaos will only deepen.
Crazy times in British politics.

May is trying to fool the country with the repeated use of keywords every time she speaks about Brexit.

Interesting point.
Many people voted for the Cameron/Osborne Govt and their proposed cuts back. Admittedly, they had to do something as there was no money left. Voters voted for cuts but most people like cuts that don't affect THEM. Pensioners are usually covered as they have the power of the vote (and the triple lock Pension).
A lot of people of people say they just want to exit because, if they are honest, it won't really affect them, especially retired people who don't need to worry about a job.
You mention a 5% drop, and we don't know the real figure. If you are prepared to take a 5% drop, would you be be prepared for 5 people you know (out of 100 friends/family) to lose their jobs to take control of our country?
Would you be prepared to lose you own job to take control of the country. (sorry, I don't know you, I am assuming you are of working age).
Just curious, as you are the first person who has admitted how much of hit you are prepared to take.

YOU'VE GOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU VOTED FOR YOU MORON
You voted to leave and we're leaving. The referendum and the result really is as simple as that.

Apologies, I read it quickly as idiotic instead of ironic and got my back up. should have read more carefully.
Personally I think that the UK politicians are more to blame for the UKs problems than the EU ones. Getting out of the EU may offer a platform to improve and reform the UK government but I doubt it.
Time will tell I suppose but I think it is telling that those banging the brexit drum seem to have disappeared from view.

Spot on. The EU has been a convenient scapegoat providing a cover for an awful government that seem to be hell bent on making life worse for as many people as possible in this country.

I'm at an airport at the moment and I've never liked hanging around waiting for flights.
I'll take your advice and have a cup of tea
If you could get people who have got what they voted for to stop whining, that would be a help too

You choose to see anger in those responses. I see none.
I see just exasperation.
