Leavers rejoice

[Coppersulphate]

The Brexit Party are doing really well in the polls. I just hope they do as well in the election.
I think their slogan should be "Tell them again".
I would like to see a clean sweep of Brexiteers but I know that is not going to happen.
I have sent off my postal vote.

It’s explained by the lies and propaganda, Audacity. I don’t think believing many of those things makes you think. The anti-EU bias in the media has been going on for much longer than the referendum campaign and remain did a pretty piss-poor job of providing a pro-EU argument or sentiment.

Given that background, I don’t know how far you can blame people for coming down a giants it when asked to pick between remain and leave.

Honda just confirmed it is closing the Swindon plant with a loss of 3500 jobs.

So much to rejoice.

I didn't say anybody had anything coming.

The only policy that I am interested in at present is Brexit and the fact that the Remain MPs, even those with Leave voting constituencies, are trying to stop it.
That is why I have voted for the Brexit party with my postal vote. (I have a postal vote because I am away a lot).

From the Metro, having looked at the link posted upthread:

{HS2 ‘on the verge of passing point of no return’}

What is the use of HS2 if you can't come back again? A plot to increase the population in the North* perhaps?

*North being Bedford or wherever the money runs out.

Why did they throw whole fish when a bucket of fish guts would have been better?

{That is why I have voted for the Brexit party with my postal vote. (I have a postal vote because I am away a lot).}

I hope it is not 'abroad' where there are foreigners and people with open viewpoints.

Blimey, that's got you lot going!
The Brexit party are way ahead in the last two polls. That is why I said they are doing well.
I just wish some of you could respond with being so rude and insulting. And there is no point in misquoting me.
I find it amusing that you call leavers "lowlife" and then use language that I would associate with lowlife.

@Coppersulphate , there is only one reason Brexit hasn't got through Parliament yet - the backstop. It was the plan to have Brexit but to respect the GFA. There's a majority in Parliament for Brexit and some undefined alternative to the backstop.
So .... what's your alternative to the backstop that still accords with our GFA obligations. It is down to that. And not a single one of them has come up with something MPs can get behind. Maybe you have an idea?

LeClerc,
You have a completely closed viewpoint " the EU is wonderful".
You live in one of the EU 27 and are concerned about your freedom of movement. I don't believe you care what the average person here thinks.

And @Coppersulphate , what's your alternative to the backstop. Enough wittering in about old battles.

Bellini, can you show me where in the text of the GFA is the commitment to an open border between the North and the Republic? It mentions security but a guarantee of a continuing open border? Where ?

The only policy I'm voting for is Brexit
You are voting / have voted in an EU election to put a candidate in the EU Parliament so how is that Brexit as an MEP is hardly likely to stand up in a Parliament of 705 and state I want out because he/she has just been voted in and will look a proper twat.
It just doesn't make sense that anyone would vote for a candidate to join an EU Parliament they're against what good would that do and I just cannot see any logic in it
Rejoice in what as nothing will change much and the new EU Parliament will not start sitting immediately

Really @Coppersulphate?

You're not interested in healthcare, the economy, domestic and/or foreign policy, the welfare state, immigration, how we deal with the impending break-up of the union, the employment rate and the changing workforce in the face of AI, education, defence?

Nothing of interest there? You put Brexit ahead of all of those things?? This is the problem with Brexiteers.

Policy = Brexit = job losses, for example : Honda.

Personally I'm beginning to think everyone who loses their job as a result of brexit should have their p45 hand delivered by someone enabling it.

If a majority vote for something bad, it doesn"t make it good. It just means the majority are wrong.

We are not voting for or against brexshit on the 23rd these are EU elections not a general election or a by election or a referendum these are for the EU Parliament and farridge just wants to keep his nose in the trough

Op
I'm voting for the Brexit Party too.
I've heard someone say it's like a second referendum so I'm sure Remain parties will wipe the floor with them, what with more people supporting Remain rather than Leave

The point of voting for Brexit Party candidates is purely because the majority of Leave voters see the EU Parliamentary Elections as pointless and a tad farcical as the UK shouldn't even be taking part in them; as per the Referendum.

It's the equivalent of 'spoiling' your ballot - yet still voting. No further policy is needed - so what if there are lots of empty seats in the EP with 'Gone Fishing'/Out to Lunch signs; the EP can still carry on with their business.

No further policy is needed...the oft-repeated shout by Farage.

Because policy means working things out and attention to detail. NOT just shouting about a load of old bollocks and getting away with it.

OP given that the Brexit Party have not published a manifesto or plans on how to deliver Brexit- have you any insight into how they might achieve this given that sitting as MEPs will not give them any more chance of getting their wish of a hard Brexit because despite what they believe our parliament is sovereign and only parliament can deliver Brexit. Essentially they are wasting taxpayers money paying for more 'faceless bureaucrats' who have no influence in the only policy they care about.

the trouble is the MPs are Remain and the people want to Leave.

You missed a trick then back in 2017, when you could have elected a whole slate of Leave MPs. Why didn't you?

{ I don't believe you care what the average person here thinks.}

Many of my extended family and friends rely on EU membership and all the 'trimmings' that entails so it is not just 'me' but everyone that will be affected by it. The fact that 3 years on you still have no damn clue what 'leaving' actually means is simply ridiculous.
Of course there are problems within the EU, there always will be, but there is a willingness to make things better which leaving will not achieve.

People who vote/support Brexit means taking away the NHS as a health service open to all.
I neither respect or forgive them.

MrPan given the Brexit Party has no policies other than to leave the EU what policy on the NHS are you referring to?

clerc - the "everyone" in your circle of family and friends have their rights protected under the WA.
