Because he is part of the status quo, deplorable as that may be and most likely the lesser of the two evils if we 'overthrow capitalism'. Anyone arguing against leaving the EU may have valid points on economic grounds, there is no argument there, but Marxism? Please.

He really is. He is way way worse than Corbyn in my opinion.

Yep. Maybe throw the lot out and start again?

I think your post is excellent. It is a strange direction and the point of equality is being lost amongst those who cannot see beyond the fog of Brexit. I heard a Psychologist interviewed yesterday and she pointed out, much as you have, that the kind of women in parliament are likely to be...

The death tax is not a tax that has been earned by government.

You told me, once you'd explained where I was wrong, that i thought Lucas was wrong. I do not think that, I believe she is a liar. Don't worry though, she joins a long list of political liars, it's a fine tradition.

How kind of you to tell me what I think. Very convenient and time saving.

I largely concur, but I will say that although the referendum was advisory, it was held with a clear understanding that its result would be respected which was upheld by both votes in the House and also manifesto pledges by the significant parties. But Brexit is tiresome to argue about, I wish...

She is a liar as her claims were clearly untrue. I think she is no different to Johnson or Corbyn or the leader of the lib dems whose name escapes me. They are all liars as far as I am concerned. I don't feel angry though, I accept that sadly, most politicians are incapable of compromise and...

I have often noticed that people use those terms on this board for some reason. It is quite baffling. I wonder if it is self-reassuring?

Haha, why are you supposing the thing that upset me most this week was Caroline Lucas? I am not in the least bit upset with her nor am I angry. The other things you mention are pretty well covered and almost all the time I am disinterested in Brexit as it has become so poisonous. Frankly...

But that is why it is so important to get out and vote, it is how democracy works here. The only voters that matter when the results of an election or referendum are counted are those that have voted. A large portion of the electorate disenfranchised themselves by choosing to not vote. Whichever...

Of course I understand percentages. But I don't consider that relevant. 49% of women voted leave is completely true. As I said, I was quoting the total for all of those who had voted! If you want to include people who did not vote (mostly as they could not be bothered), then you should, without...

At a time when both major parties are in disarray, she should be leading the greens in an inclusive manner. I believe she has alienated many people, both male and female, who believe in equality. She embraces Orwell's idea that all of us are equal but some are more equal than others. So I stand...

I don't think she's helping her cause.

Already answered that, do keep up!

It is understandable that those who chose not to vote for good reasons or bad, are not included in the figures for the referendum or for a GE.

Except that she is indulging in the tribalism that she is so keen to point out is the problem. Speaking only with like minded politicians is tribalistic.

I am referring to the interview on radio five where I listened to her.

The same could be said about the people who she has sent invitations to. She admitted the purpose is to stop Brexit. She (and they) are just as intractable and it is laughable for her to suggest that she is working on a solution and wants to compromise. She is a liar.
