So if half the Tories want in and the other half want out - as they do - what does that make the Tory party?Sluffy wrote:wanderlust wrote:I sort of agree, but Brexit isn't a party issue.Hipster_Nebula wrote:Norpig wrote:If millions of people (i presume leave voters) don't vote again in a second referendum then they will lose so it's in their best interests to vote surely?
It's in everyone's best interest not to vote for any party or person currently in the house of commons.
And if in a general election there were large scale abstentions, somebody would get elected anyway so it's not a viable strategy for change.
Of course it is a party issue!!!
We would even have had a referendum never mind Brexit if it wasn't for Cameron trying to squash the Euro sceptics inside his party.
Even then we wouldn't have got Brexit if Boris hadn't become the figure head of the Leave campaign because he thought he would play a bit of inter party politics by planning to lose the referendum but scoop the Eurosceptic vote within his party for a leadership bid.
As for Corbyn he's playing party politics by not fighting against Brexit but biding his time until after it and win the next General Election because the mood of the public as changed against it!
It's all to do with party politics - the vast majority of MP's voted Remain - yet they are kept in line with their party whips!
Even you should be able to see that?
Ditto Labour.
Euroseceptism is and always been a free vote issue.
Even you should be able to see that? Hang on...you probably can't.
