[Politics] Brexit
- Thread starter KingstonSeagull
- Start date
This has been discussed by the mods and the decision stands. The post has not been removed, deleted or altered. It has been merged with the thread that is supposed to act as the single point of focus for Brexit discussion - because it was about Brexit. If it had been a remain petition thread it would have been merged. If a remain petition thread appears, it will be merged.
The only one displaying political bias is you.

Trust me - The reason that petition won't get anywhere near 6 Million is really not down to being merged into the Brexit thread on NSC

If those that voted leave are so wedded to the idea that 'it's the will of the people' then why are they so scared of a second referendum?
17.4m out of a population of 66m.
The will of (about a quarter of) the people, indeed. Horrible and misleading sloganeering.

Just had a look at tariffs and what will happen if we leave with no deal. TV's will drop from 14% to 0% whilst Jams, jellies and marmalades drop from 24% to 0%.

No, there is a strong remain bias. As demonstrated by hiding away a piece of information potentially of interest to leavers in the middle of a huge thread which many people - leave and remain, I suspect - can't be bothered to look at any more.
Your apparently bigoted view of Brexiteers does you no credit - to label Brexiteers as being in favour of innocent people dying is - to use your own phrase. "***ing disgusting".

So, after the next GE, if we don't like how the winners are going we can ask for another vote after a year because the voting demographic will have changed?

Common Market 2.0 may have a majority tonight.
It's a bit like saying you want to support another team instead of the Albion and surrendering your season ticket, paying the direct debit at pensioner rate, not attending any matches- but taking up a bronze membership and only being allowed to watch your new team on the television.

There are five moderators online at this very minute. I don't reckon you could say what they voted for in the referendum.

Thank you for the reply, and I have to accept the decision. The point I think the mods missed was that the thread that was removed wasn't about discussing Brexit; there wasn't a discussion element about it, it was simple information which may have been of interest to some people on NSC who would not see it on the main Brexit thread. But well, it's been neatly hidden away now, so there's an end to it.
Your final sentence is unworthy. I have an opinion which quite possibly differs from yours; that doesn't make it a bias, any more than your opinion is a bias if it differs to mine.

strong and stable with me, or...
The Tories didn't like the 2015 result so they called another one 2 years later. We're 3 years since the referendum.

Theresa May did.

They called the Election because they didn't like the result in 2015? Really?
My take was to try and give her a longer, stronger go at Brexit, not because she was having a hissy fit and throwing her rattle out over the result in 2015.
It well and truly backfired.
Nobody understands your argument.
there are literally a THOUSAND posts in this thread that consist purely of links to information, related to the topic.
Shall we have a thousand threads, for them?

Votes were 307 to 253, but May will ignore it and bring her deal back for another vote and another and another.

They're on NSC. I reckon that could be sufficient evidence for a pretty good guess as to the majority opinion!
Richard Drax MP has been speaking in the House. Three days ago he voted for Theresa May's deal. He now "profoundly regrets his actions and wishes he could vote again".
He wishes to change his vote from three days ago. However, he also believes that the British people should not be permitted to express the changing of their mind from three years ago.
