Brexit: What do you think will happen?

Yes, they voted for him because, let's face it, it was him, Corbyn, or the Libs.

Most of the British electorate (I hope) had the sense to realise that Democracy works on the will of the majority. And because 52 is a bigger number than 48, then that was the majority.

The libs overturning that would make me seriously worry about Democracy. Having another vote and justifying it by a fancy name 'People's vote' sounds like something the Nazi's would do.

Then there's Corbyn, communist, IRA fan club, trying to publicise the fact that he was so woke he shagged Dianne. In fact, just Dianne. Need I say more? Well I shall: I never did figure out what they wanted to do with Brexit in the end. I think they supported it, then went on the fence, then may have gone off it and called their heartland supporters racists or something.

Oh yeah, and there's Fiona. Casting the deciding vote whilst being on a prison tag. Classy Very Happy

If, as the EU and Remainers say, we will be worse off out of the EU, why does the EU insist on this "level playing field" thing? Clearly some dissonance in thinking there! Laughing

Of course what they mean is, if the EU get their way with these negotiations, we will be worse off.

Starting to see polls that suggest less than a quarter of British people think the EU are being fair and reasonable. Well, we all know you can't trust polls, but that low number suggests it might be indicative of the way people are going.

My problem is I still don't trust our politicians not to cosy up to the EU in the end.

Play hardball in the media for the people but already have an agreement in place that allows both sides to say they 'won' the best deal. Rolling Eyes

That was May's withdrawal agreement.

Of course the vast majority of the Tories are going to support their PM.

I'm talking about the 2016 In/Out referendum. This was basically a 'free vote' for MP's, and very few (Johnson, Gove) came out in support of leave prior to that referendum.

Yes, I was talking about pre-referendum campaigning (the 190:140 Con remain/leave you mention).
My MP was has always been very much against leaving without a deal, which I think is fine in private, but in public plays into the EU's hands.

What's happened to the hard Remainers on this forum?

I mean the likes of Sir Percy, Val, Roman Numeral, etc. have been pretty quiet lately.

I enjoy a good debate but it seemed the Remain arguments were getting more and more desperate, e.g. Yeah but if we leave you will have to register your Pooch to travel abroad...

You can't be a Remain-er now that we've left. You could be a Rejoiner I suppose, but not much chance of that happening in the near future.

Also, I think the problems we're going to be experiencing from the post-Covid economic meltdown are going to make a few leaving-the-EU hitches look like chickenfeed.

London has almost caught up with New York as the world's number 1 financial centre, survey finds.

Switzerland referendum: Voters reject end to free movement with EU.
62:38. Fear of the economic impact? You can't have free trade without accepting all the EU's other rules. Well played, the EU. Confused

Also interesting that the Swiss are still conducting referenda (they voted on paternal leave, defence procurement and hunting laws at the same time) when Remainers had said the Swiss had learned that referenda were bad.
