Deny democracy and insult 52% of the electorate, strange times we live in.

No, zacs. It should worry them all.

[Calicogirl]

You don't have to agree with anyone's politics to see WHY they have done something, without a Remain stance the LimDems were sunk, with it, they probably are as well, so it makes sense to take a punt on gaining votes on a no leave ticket. You don't have to like it, but it's simple enough to understand.

[Zacs-Master]

Have you given up all hope then, N?

[naomi24]

Yes, it is simple enough to understand...

[naomi24]

Given up hope of what, zacs?

[Zacs-Master]

Erm....Brexit.

[spathiphyllum]

"That they openly reject the result of a democratic vote should worry their supporters. "

It's not democracy when half the campaign was a bed of lies.

[naomi24]

zacs, I've never believed it would happen.

[Zacs-Master]

Then we have more in common than I thought. But you seem to have spent an inordinate amount of time arguing against your beliefs, on here.

[naomi24]

I didn't say I wouldn't like it to happen - I said I've never believed it would happen - or more accurately I've never believed it would be allowed to happen.

[Spicerack]

Didn't seem to work for them in 2017.

[Zacs-Master]

I know what you said, N. You seemed pretty optimistic in this thread. Which coming of our ‘Saviour’ was this:

[naomi24]

Zacs, you very clearly don’t know what I said on that thread. Here you go.

//We are [leaving the EU]? Not from where I’m sitting.//

//the people negotiating Brexit have no intention of allowing this country to leave the EU.//

I haven’t trawled through the rest of it. Anyone who’d actually read it would have got my drift from those two comments - or was it just an argument you wanted?.

Given a countrybthat split roughly half and half in the referendum, it strikes me there are two options for the Lib Dems: stick to their longstanding pro-EU stance, or abandon every principle they hold.

The Conservatives have managed to turn a working majority at the time of the referendum into a hybrid based on buying Irish votes, and we are moving no closer to a resolution on EU membership. Still they are asking for my vote on the basis of being "the only party that can get Brexit done", in a leaflet that says the only way to avoid the EU elections is to vote in them. Yeah, right.

Labour are not even able to function as an opposition, unable to decide whether they want to stay or leave, but toying with the idea of supporting the Conservatives to achieve a compromise that suits nobody, leaving the way clear for May to blame Labour for her being unable to manage her own party.

The Lib Dems seem to be the only party standing across the board who are offering a mandate for the 48% who voted to stay, or the vast majority who didn't vote to leave.

Their slogan sounds childish, but it only mirrors those of their rivals: "Vote leave for fifty years of poverty for most, but at least I will be better off, patriotically voting against my own country" springs to mind.

[Zacs-Master]

Nope. An argument wasn’t my first priority. You must know by now my raison d’etre on here is to show people are wont to be hypocritical.
You’re ‘well I never believe it would happen’ stance is at odds with my example, doncha think?

[Zacs-Master]

Your. Sorry.

[naomi24]

zcs, //You’re ‘well I never believe it would happen’ stance is at odds with my example, doncha think? //

What on earth are you talking about? I've copied and pasted what I said there. Read it.

[dannyk13]

This an election to vote MEPs into the European Parliament so I don't think that voters will pay much attention to a manifesto based on domestic matters.

[Zacs-Master]

I know what you wrote. But the tone of your post was all ‘oooh I wonder if Nige will actually do it’.

[naomi24]

zacs, you're hallucinating. Have a lie down.
