Jo Swinson ,new Lib-Dem Leader?

[Bobbisox1]

No sure about this young lady who talks that she's been campaigning for years for what she believes in, good for her but she also says she'll fight tooth and nail for a No Brexit Deal, Why don't people like her realise there was a democratic vote to leave ?

[Bobbisox1]

Best of three ? @Jim

[jim360]

Nah, one more referendum that goes my way will be enough :P

Although in all seriousness the point that I think is often overlooked is that even a second referendum that goes in favour of Remaining doesn't settle the issue once and for all either. All that would be needed to overturn *that* is for the mood to shift again -- in Parliament as well as in the country. No issue can ever truly be settled in a true democracy.

[Bobbisox1]

And we can't see that happening anytime soon ;-}

[hereIam]

Oh please Boris, just deliver and then all the whingeing remainers can go away! Although will they, they'll probably keep saying 'I told you so' every time something occurs after Brexit that THEY don't approve of !!

[Zacs-Master]

Whinging remainers? This thread was started by and perpetuated by whinging Leavers. Ironic, ain't it.

[Bobbisox1]

Well this is where I meander off like a nomad from the thread and make a well earned coffee after my shopping trip ;+}

From the OP
// but she also says she'll fight tooth and nail for a No Brexit Deal //

I must be mixing her up with someone else as I thought she was anti a no deal Brexit, must be me age ;o)

[retrocop]

She's Scottish Dave. What do you expect. It takes one Referendum to remain but two to leave. That's democracy for you Northern style. Now that Boris will be P.M. they use that as a lame excuse for another attempt to split up the union. . Leave the UK and apply to join the democracy in Europe. Huh.

[Bobbisox1]

Hi Balders( back from my coffee break , lol)
But she's definitely a remainer

Hi Retro, democratic they are not, they don't seem to understand the concept.

[Ellipsis]

> what 51 per cent if the electorate voted for

Actually it was what 37.44% of the electorate voted for, and even that was based on a pack of lies and deceptions that was fed to them before the referendum which can now be seen for what they were.

Swinson clearly thinks that enough of the electorate don't want to leave that she could get a decent number of votes from them. She's right, in theory, she could - whether she will or not is another matter.

[retrocop]

In your first introduction post you said //she will fight tooth and nail for a No Deal Brexit//
This where there is confusion here.

Jo Swinson has also refused to admit that there is a consensus for a no deal EU exit and insists leaving the EU should be blocked at all costs.

[Bobbisox1]

I agree but so was the remain camp, it was all lies,lies and more lies Ellipsis, hence the mess we are in now

[Bobbisox1]

Probably wasn't her exact words Retro as this was 6am this morning,come ,give a girl a break haha but I did get the gist of her saying she'd go all the way to remain

[ichkeria]

“Fight tooth and nail for a no deal Brexit”,
Lol no I dare say those were not her exact words!

[retrocop]

'Fight tooth and nail against a No Deal Brexit' more likely. She's a Lib Dem.

[Bobbisox1]

Tsk tsk, no nit picking haha, I try me best ;/

[retrocop]

Lol.

[Cloverjo]

There should be a new referendum with a choice between Johnson’s No Deal and staying.

I’m not whinging about the vote not going my way. I’m genuinely worried about this country under his leadership and his plan to get Brexit through no matter what.

[Bobbisox1]

Laughing aside CJ, me too
