Revoke Article 50 Petition

[Atheist]

I trust that most here are aware of the petition. A chance for remainers to show that there is a lot of support for their position. Have you voted yet?

Sorry, but it's a bit hard to keep up. I'm sure it'll slow down soon. I'll go for a lie down.

Love it , over 5 million have signed the petition, and well over another million Marching in London. I can just imagine TGT spitting bullets at his TV set. PMSL , " Gawd Elp Im Gov" PMSL.

[Baldric]

When it passes 17 million I will take it a little more seriously.

[Atheist]

Don't hold your breath, Baldric, I don't think there's a chance of that. But, you never know.

Another million?
Don't you think those marching have probably signed the #spitmedummyout petition?

I wouldn't, Baldric... it's hardly an effort to tick a box online when it is in front of you on a computer as many times as you like. The fact that over 17 million got off their settees and actually voted to make a change, when keeping the status quo is clearly going to be quickest and easiest... is always going to be far more impressive.

Haven't read all the answers (life's too short and I'm losing the will to live) but just wondered if anyone will admit to having changed their mind eg after voting to leave or remain they now wish they voted the other way?

[Baldric]

I would have voted leave, sadly I was Hospitalised the evening before the Vote so didn't get the chance.
I have however not changed my mind.

There's a few on this site that voted Remain that would now vote Leave

Do you think more lies were told about leaving or remaining? Personally I think the remainers knew what was in store, but that many of those voting to leave have been badly disillusioned by what they thought they were voting for.

[pixie374]

I don't think so, lankeela. I don't believe the majority of people either believe politicians tell the truth or are particularly trustworthy in general and I can't believe anyone is at all surprised by the incompetence. I suspect most people thought ahead and decided what they believed go be best, without taking too much notice of hype and bull.

//Personally I think the remainers knew what was in store, but that many of those voting to leave have been badly disillusioned by what they thought they were voting for//

I understand the first, but not the second clause ("disillusioned" apart) of that sentence, Lankeela. I kind of take it to mean that Leavers, unlike Remainers, were incapable of weighing the obvious risks of leaving the EU against its obviously speculative benefits.

If I've got that right how do explain the clarity of thought you ascribe to most Remainers on the one hand, and the mental confusion of "most" Leavers on the other?

Is this, do you think, because the Lankeela Remainers are on the whole brighter than the Leavers on the whole? And/or have keener powers of judgment? And/or are less prone to persuasion by populist demagogues?

I've suggested some of the more obvious explanations. There are are quite a few more, by the way.

I think I will take up a new hobby - watch the numbers on the electric meter change ;-)

You’d have to hope that would be a lot duller :-)
