Do you think that many of the people who voted remain had any idea what the EU is ?

don't be silly

I know you won't believe me but even if I'd voted for brexit, it'd still want a rerun. The referendum result as it stands will never be accepted by the remainers.

...and
the remainers voted for the status quo

the big chunk for brexiters voted for lower immigration which won't happen

So if the result will never be accepted by the losers, why are the winners getting all the bad press?

Braden 12-01-2019 05:21 PM

I don't entirely disagree with the sentiment, but I do think this is essentially fear-mongering from Chris Grayling. Just in time for Tuesday's vote, a desperate attempt to scare people into thinking that The Prime Minister's deal is the only way out of extreme discord. I'd be inclined to agree if the deal was any good.

there are some outlets supporting brexit

I know you're ignorant to this fact, but I'll say it anyway. There's many respected figures support Brexit, some people actually respect JRM, some people actually respect Trump. Just because you say they don't, doesn't make it true, because there is proof that it's not true.

What a silly thing to say. How is it 'perceived terrorism' when it is actual terrorism though?

Anyway, I do agree with Chris Grayling. The thousands of people marching London in protest of Brexit claim they want peace and globalism but don't realise that if Brexit is blocked this country would see more violence than what's been going on in France recently.

People trying to overturn the result of the referendum getting protested = extreme

Protesting isn't an extreme act but assassinating an MP most certainly is. Honestly, you should be denouncing the extreme right, not defending them by attacking the left. Tribalism isn't a good look.

Fake news. France has a history of violent protest; they've had several riots and incidents of civil unrest per decade since the late 1800's. It's a totally different culture. If Brexit is blocked we'll have a few OAP's grumbling while they buy their porridge, milk and Daily Mail in the morning. They'll never riot, because if they try they'll all break their hips.

These aren't the extreme right, these are working class people who have one weapon, their vote. But their vote is not being accepted. Which leaves them with nothing, and they're angry about it.

I've already said that they are not going about it in the right way, although I'm with them on the principle of why they are there.

These are working class people who are seeing their only weapon being taken away from them, and they're scared and nobody is listening to them, and they're lashing out.

They are not far-right or fascists.

They already did vote again in the General Election after the referendum. They again voted to leave the EU where the offer was "no deal is better than a bad deal" we just want out and we've told you twice at the ballot box. You need to listen to us, we're not holding you hostage, we just want out.

You've seen the rise of what's labaled as right wing parties in Germany and Italy, if you don't listen to the people, then we'll probably go the same way.

It might be worse than Ukip there's a lot of jossling for position and in-fighting on this side of the argument at the moment.

UKIP was finished after the referendum result and most went and put their vote back to the mainstream, but Ukip are now still alive because the people are being deceived.

They voted for the current government to handle Brexit, they're getting what they voted for. If another referendum takes place, the result of that will be just as democratic as the last vote, it's not suddenly undemocratic just because there's a decent chance it won't go your way. The will of the people isn't static, it can change or develop otherwise there wouldn't be any point in elections or any votes. If the current deal is a no go and the option to pursue a no deal brexit is blocked then the only option is to see what the people want to do.

Also, you're just proving what I've said all along to be true, you're blinded by your sense of tribalism that you can't bring yourself to condemn the extreme elements of the right, instead you're trying to downplay it and rationalise their actions. I think Jo Cox's family would disagree with what you're saying.

Listen, you don't win the argument by bringing up Jo Cox, and if you continue to use her death for political gain, then people are just going to tell you where you can stick Jo Cox. She was murdered by one low-life scum, not 17.4m people who want to leave a union. You don't own her murder, so stop using her death to think you can win the argument.You can't win it with that against me.

The problem with a second referendum is that it is being proposed by people that supported remain before and still do. It's not being proposed by people that supported leave before and have now changed their minds. Those people are just going to think that the first vote didn't count.

It would be better for remain campaigners and MPs to get behind a compromise that still delivers a version of Brexit, whether it is this deal, or if that isn't passed, a Norway-type deal.

It won't please everyone, but that is unavoidable.

this feels similar to a hostage situation, making demands though

I find it disgusting that the two opposing sides in government cant get their acts together to come together enough to deliver the will of the majority of the population.

If that's not enough to get people up protesting against this failing political system I don't know what is.

The Prime Minister is at fault
last year she changed the deal
upsetting all sides.


Corbyn was expecting
her to Leave on her early deal.

It should never have been left to one side to sort out a deal. Probably one of the biggest tasks this country has had to deal with in modern times...I was looking for my government to come into the modern era and come together putting all differences aside and deliver what the country both wants and needs.

Northern Monkey 13-01-2019 09:53 AM

One thing’s for sure if Brexit was overturned.People would certainly move away from the 2 main parties.They would need somewhere to turn(Those that didn’t denounce British politics totally and never vote again).
I do think that a few would turn to the new sh1tshow that is UKIP.They would gain more votes for sure but not massively,Not since Gerard Batten took over and recruited Tommy Robinson.UKIP has thrown away all credibility now.
For me,The Tories would split and take along the few Euro skeptics from the other parties and form a new mainstream pro leave party.They would gain traction(more than UKIP) imo.

I don’t think there’d be a massive rise to the far right in this country.I do think it would grow but not hugely.
We rejected the BNP when they were here.
I think that the main consequence would be to deter Brits from engaging in our political system.It would be seen as a joke and disenfranchise most people.
The institution of parliament would lose most of its credibility.It’s doing a good job of that currently by trying every trick in the book(literally) to stop us leaving.When the speaker of the house can’t show neutrality then it doesn’t look good.
