What happened yesterday emphasized why I want to leave the EU. The people changed Parliament. Whether you agree with the result or not, we were given a choice to change the way we were being led and we did.
In the EU elections we sent a large group of MEPs from the Brexit Party. What has changed?
Nothing.
Your vote doesn't make any difference in Europe but you can change the direction of your own country.

Little Jimmy Krankie thinks that the vote was a mandate for independence.
The SNP polled 1.25m votes from a 5.5m population, or about a third of the registered voters.
1.25m votes - 48 seats
Lib Dems 3.4m votes - 11 seats
Brexit Party over 600k votes - no seats
NI parties and Plaid under 600k votes - 19 seats

How can you judge someone who has been in office for such a short term and during that time his hands were tied by Labour and Bercows antics?

The UK can judge Boris more from what has been reported in local news over they years but I seriously doubt he has had much airtime in Australia prior to becoming PM?

Look, I honestly don’t care anymore if you really are genuine or an alt account, my comments have zero to do with my past accusations but I just find it so hard to understand your heated feelings and knowledge if you are on the other side of the world.

In Comparison half the UK would not have a clue who the PM is in Australia, 99% couldn’t name the opposition leaders and as to caring who won the next Australian elections I’d hazard a guess 100% would not care

I'd hazard a guess this was directed at me.

Why do I need to judge him only on his time in office or what is reported in the media. He hasn't only existed in the last 6 months.

I'm a person of reading and I have an interest in things that are happening. The events around brexit are historical and in that respect significant. Also I have investments in the UK, amongst other places, and so yes I'm interested in what happens in your country and I think You would be too if the situation was reversed?

Based on the election my share portfolio has gone up between 5% and 7.5%. So personally it's, as I've said before, a bit of an earner for me especially as the GB£ has gone up in value and hopefully property values will remain pretty stable. It still however doesn't change my view of Europe being a good thing but in spite of paying UK taxes I get no say in that.

The markets seem to think it is a good thing.
 
That Nicola Sturgeon thinks she can do as she wants, Boris Johnson will just ignore her for the time being, he has bigger fish to fry i.e. the EU who are cowering already....Merkel is already reaching out to us, reel her in then hammer them.
I cannot wait for the EU law courts to try tell us what to do!!! GTF
All the low life’s that have been having a lifestyle in Brussels second to none, being paid buckets of money and expenses..... all finished.

Looking and listening to that communist twat Corbyn today has been a joy, that man is so fkd up it’s untrue.

Quite an enjoyable day all in all.

I’m still not convinced that you understand about the reasoning behind Brexit.
You intimate that Europe is a good thing by this I am assuming that you mean the EU
What you fail to grasp is the EU today is not the organisation the majority elected to join all those years ago.
It’s been ruined by politicians similar to how some of our own politicians got carried away with their own importance
Politicians need to realise that the will of the people will eventually overcome all and those who ignore it do so at their peril

Just like the Irish, eh? Only got potatoes and Guinness.

Both countries are in similar positions, us English eat a lot of crisps and chips, eat a lot of fish with our chips, and drink a lot of Guinness and Whiskey, their exports bring in a lot of revenue, but not enough to sustain a workforce.......................Why do you think a lot of Irish and Scotsmen come down to England, some even play for some of our football teams.
