People's Vote?

[mushroom25]

lots of chatter on here (and elsewhere) for a "people's vote" - a second referendum, it's also been described as. well now Mr Corbyn is looking to get behind the campaign:-

with both parties polarised by Brexit, what chance of the "people's vote" receiving a parliamentary majority? and, more importantly, what would the question be - a simple yes/no choice, or more options to choose from?

ignore, for now, the charge that a second vote cold be "undemocratic".....

gawd help us jelly man is here. The Tory party have plenty of brexiteers, use them.

[Zacs-Master]

Non in the cabinet, was there?

[ToraToraTora]

who cares there are plenty on the Government benches, who said they must be in the cabinet. I'd have sent Farage for a start.

[Zacs-Master]

Mmm. You probably would.

Anyway, I’ve just read that there will only be 3 flavours of crisps after Brexit.

[Khandro]

The BBC (Brussels Broadcasting Corporation) are tonight showing old footage of Messrs Corbyn and Barnier walking down a corridor together, and pretending that this is taking place in real time.

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT, would you be happy to have a second referendum?

[ToraToraTora]

Yes, TCL, in about 25 years when the next generation are among us, things might have changed, the EUSSR may become a democratic organisation, though I suspect it will be a novelty subject for teary eye'd remoaner history teachers by then.

[THECORBYLOON]

Would you not have supported a call by Farage to have a second vote if Remain had won 52-48?

[ToraToraTora]

Not sure what you are attempting here TCL I have answered that about 3 times above. YES !

If we'd have sent some brexiteers to negotiate it'd be sorted by now.

you did. David Davies as Brexit secretary, no less, and Boris as Foreign Secretary, both Brexit cheerleaders.

Sorted by now, eh?

[Old_Geezer]

But who was their boss directing the show ?

Anyway it is sorted, just needs parliament to accept that and stop trying to avoid leaving on 29th March.

[THECORBYLOON]

A second vote would have been fine had the result not gone the way you had hoped?

Sounds like democracy is acceptable only if you agree with the result.

[Zacs-Master]

They will. At the 11th hour.

[Old_Geezer]

Well Jim, the public voted for out. Any deal was besides the point but most assumed the EU would be rational. No one has suggested folk demanded no deal. They've merely accepted that the EU is forcing it, having been encouraged by the dissent from some in the UK.

And no option is ruinous for the economy, merely one that hits it temporarily as a cost for regaining sovereignty. Cheap at twice the price, and made necessary by past europhile politicians/PMs signing our independence away.

[ToraToraTora]

TCL, I explained above, you want another vote to retain the status quo for the establishment that's like having a rerun on the commons vote to end slavery. Losing a referendum on leaving the EU would not take away that desire. In reality I'd probably not call for one myself, I tend to think that 25 years would be the right gap between referendums but I totally understand why UKIP would not drop their whole reason for existing after 1 attempt.

[Zacs-Master]

But you’ve just voted for said establishment to run all our affairs.

[ToraToraTora]

what UKIP? have a nice lie down ZM.

[Zacs-Master]

Erm.....no. The establishment you mentioned in your statement ‘you want another vote to retain the status quo for the establishment‘.

[ToraToraTora]

where have I said that? I don't want another vote I'm happy with this one. TCL was the "You" in my post at 22:30. I sense we are in another jelly nailing scenario where you deliberately mis understand everything I say and make false assumptions trying to look clever and achieving the opposite.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, I know who the ‘you’ was.
‘Where did I say that’. It’s a direct c&p from your 22.30 post.
