If Labour Were In Power

[emmie]

how would you see them coping with all the Brexit talks, negotiations that are ongoing.
i haven't any link, just a question.

[emmie]

for those that are interested in Brexit which some are some are not..

Dread to think Emmie.
Incidentally found Turbo Scrub good on bathroom floor, not so good on sink etc.

I have no idea. If they came into power next week then probably not brilliantly. If they'd won in June then maybe a little better with more preparation.

[anneasquith]

Impossible to say,

[emmie]

personally i think they wouldn't do well at all, going on the fact that they have been out of power and somewhat out of touch of late.

[emmie]

anne
why is it...

[emmie]

danny

i found it a little awkward but will persevere.

[anneasquith]

Why is it impossible to say? Because they are the opposition party. You could continue playing hypothetical games of " what if" all day if you wish .:-)

Do you think May has done such a fantastic job then emmie?
I am not a Labour supporter but I really can't see them making a worse job than May is?

[emmie]

am not a big fan of either party but think that May and Co are doing the best they can, I often feel if Labour were in power they would give away the store, just my opinion

[HansUrbancka]

emmie, you have said..."somewhat out of touch",

I would say..."completely out of touch". Jerymy and friends couldn't organise a bun fight in a bakery.

Hans.

[emmie]

Hans
a tad harsh but maybe you are right...

[Islay]

The best they can?
How much have they paid out so far?

[emmie]

no idea, but a lot, would you say that Labour would have done any better to be fair.

[cassa333]

I think if Labour were in power they would negotiate to stay in.

I think this simply because they have to be contrary to the opposition lol

However I also think they would still do a crap job of it as the Conservatives have. Because they don't have any hard hitting negotiators either.

I also think they would have capitulated to the EU a lot sooner than May has done. They would also have given £100b easily. I think that is something they said early on isn't it?

So overall I think we would have been worse off under Labour.

Having said that I think we are going to get the best of the BAD deals. Not a good deal in its own right.

Emmie....you mean......."coping with all the Brexit talks, negotiations that are ongoing"

What...as well as Mrs May is doing you mean ?

[Old_Geezer]

If that's the best they can then Gawd 'elp the UK.

I tend to agree with cassa.

[emmie]

yes that is what i mean,

[youngmafbog]

Labour may well have given in to many of the EU demands mainly because a lot of them refuse to represent their voters and are in tune with the EU.

That said i suspect even if the Labour party had given in(on the things they believe in) the EU would just have pushed further so I really dont think labour would be any further along. It is the EU who have been intransigent not the UK.

Davis has ‘negotiated’ for months and got nothing.
Labour wpuld have got nothing a lot quicker. Because that was the easy part. The trade negotations are the most important part, and should have taken the majority of the time. But because of Davis’ ineptitude, we are left with little time left for this most crucial task.
