Local elections 2019

Interesting that the parties that did best yesterday (admittedly only in local elections) were the ones that favour remaining in the EU.

Yes, it is a pity Corbyn is too pig headed to realise this.

If it comes down to no deal, or hard Brexit Labour will back a second referendum. There’s still a way to respect the vote and limit the damage to the economy though - that should be given every chance.

And what about no brexit which apparently at least 55% of the population currently want?

Are you suggesting we carry out the result of a poll over a referendum?

Hardly a surprise when every party standing favours staying in the EU.

Only in the minds of the tin foil hat brigade.

Second from the left, in the cream jumper, Glos.

Thanks Bonce. I genuinely thought young Amanda looked different

Merely pointing out that a second referendum where the choice is no deal or a crap deal is not a real choice as it ignores the option of no brexit.

Offering people the choice of being punched in the face once or twice is not much of a choice unless they can also choose not to be punched in the face instead.

You're joking right?

He’s got to be.

The Alt-right like to believe there’s a conspiracy against them. So despite both parties standing on a manifesto pledging to leave the EU, it suits their agenda to believe it’s not happening.

Alt right... Yawn.

What would you prefer?

Not to be called alt right. Cheers.

The views you post define you, down to you to change that.

Don't be so stupid. The alt right was founded by a nazi FFS.

Nothing I post "defines" me as such.

Anyway another thread I'll dip out of....

I wasn’t suggesting the ballot should be between No deal and Hard Brexit in that scenario.

Still don’t see how no Brexit can be put on a ballot paper though, if it won what situation would we be in then? Best of three?

I'm not clear what you are advocating. You stated "If it comes down to no deal, or hard Brexit Labour will back a second referendum." So what is the question on the ballot paper? No deal or a crap deal? Crap deal or no brexit? No deal or no brexit?

If you can put crap deal on a ballot paper why can't you put no brexit on it?
