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.

This is why Farage, and indeed many other politicians with NO PLAN are such a danger.

This is why we have had the impasse for three years, because although Leavers won they have only been able to tell us what they don't want.
If they had had a realistic plan from the off, we might have had productive negotiations over the last three years.

I am not for a minute suggesting that all leave voters are stupid (as they like to accuse us of saying) but I do not believe that many of them have the slightest idea of how catastrophic the result of a no-deal brexit would be.

Some seem to think it would mean we're out of the EU, don't give them any money, keep the furriners out and otherwise everything would stay the same. IT WOULD NOT.

Absolutely. No deal is all the stuff that has been in the press about 'project fear' but on steroids because there are shitloads of 'minor' details that have not even got as far as the press.

Some might think that changing the PM will make things better. It won't, because the basic problems are still there. It is like if your cat is flattened by a truck, you can have as many expert vets as you like, it is still dead.

I don't get how an election for MEPs is an overwhelming victory for leave as they want to leave the the very EU parliment that perhaps they've been voted to serve in, it just doesn't make any sense.

I think that the EU will throw us out to the dogs anyway as they've had enough shenanigans about the very important Irish border issue, and when you mess about with a huge institution with no progression in three years they're just going to say ok that's enough just go, so then we will really be up shitcreek without a paddle with most of our lives badly affected

I agree portia

Lecturn's out in Downing Street hmmm

I don't get how an election for MEPs is an overwhelming victory for leave as they want to leave the the very EU parliment that perhaps they've been voted to serve in,

I agree with what you say, but if say the Lib Dems got 30%+ of the vote no doubt you'd be saying it was a stunning victory for remain. One only has to see the many posts on here asking which is the best remain party to vote for!

Yep she's gone

{I don't get how an election for MEPs is an overwhelming victory for leave as they want to leave the the very EU parliament that perhaps they've been voted to serve in, it just doesn't make any sense.}

My point exactly. Wrong question so it will never be the correct answer.

The UK has just voted for over 70 people to go to Brussels, where, if the UK leaves in October, will hardly have had time to arrange their desks and work out where the coffee bar is, before being sent back to the UK.
IF the UK remains, then the importance of their activities is relevant but the parties they may be representing do not necessarily match the points of view they will be presenting.
Being a useless argumentative twat like Farage is far more damaging than anyone who carefully and conscientiously discusses the UK's position, whichever 'party' they represented.

One only has to see the many posts on here asking which is the best remain party to vote for!

And that’s completely in response to the “80% of people voted for Brexit supporting parties in the GE” and the “the local elections told us people want to get on with Brexit” crap, since it seems that any vote in any election can be interpreted as support for Brexit.

Absolutely continuity

Angered me no end

“The UK has just voted for over 70 people to go to Brussels, where, if the UK leaves in October, will hardly have had time to arrange their desks and work out where the coffee bar is, before being sent back to the UK.”

I actually think that doesn’t matter so much.
What matters is that the far right had to waste time and money pouring resources into yet another political party, in campaigning and they had to haul NF back from his useful work stirring up the rest of Europe.

So far as the EU is concerned, it was a win-win situation, even if the BP gain every single seat!

Not so good for us, of course, but, as you say, we’re leaving anyway.

......if say the Lib Dems got 30%+ of the vote no doubt you'd be saying it was a stunning victory for remain

Well, i wouldn't.

These elections have become a proxy opinion poll on Leave or Remain, the combined totals for BXP/Ukip and Green/LD/CUK will give us all an idea of what the country thinks on Brexit.

30% would be a stunning result for the LibDems though. I think it's unlikely.

{These elections have become a proxy opinion poll on Leave or Remain,}

And that is a problem. There are so many lies and so much spin, no one knows what the hell is going on.

On Sunday we will see the result of a confirmatory vote on Brexit. Then Boris backed up by Nigel will send the EU a ultimatum, either drop the backstop etc or we leave in October, end of, we are not asking twice and we will talk after that.

Its a simple choice now. At last we will get what we have voted for.

{Then Boris backed up by Nigel will send the EU a ultimatum, either drop the backstop etc or we leave in October,}

Good try but it is not a threat at all.
Boris/Nige/whoever will just find the WA on the desk waiting for the signature when the UK decides it needs food.

"End of" How old are you with that childish nonsense.

I'm creasing up with laughter at the thought of Boris and Farridge stomping into Brussels with an ultimatum and Tusk Juncker et al laughing and saying ok Bojo and Nige good joke now feck off as we've more important stuff to get on with concerning 27 reasonable Countries

{"End of" }
Leaving on 31 October is the START of at least 1 year of negotiations (no deal) and what could be 3, 5 or more years of negotiations.

We just need a Brexiteer as PM now and we should finally get what we voted for.

You are so funny @Coppersulphate 😂😂😂😂

On Sunday we will see the result of a confirmatory vote on Brexit.

It is emphatically NOT that!
A confirmatory vote on Brexit would be a vote on the terms of brexit, which are still totally unclear.
It is not a rerun of the ref, and anyway I thought that posters like walkingdeadfangirl were dead set against such a rerun- or is it only ok when Nige says so?

Depends on turnout for both sides, anything under 50% and we still don't really know what folk think.

The forthcoming GE will tell us that, when Labour will finally have to campaign for remain and the Tories will seek to out do farage.

I hope you are financially prepared for no-deal.
