Off Topic BREXIT

Hmmm wonder why that is. Good luck finding 651 sensible, intelligent MPs who agree leaving the EU is a good thing.

 

They can demand what they want. We just have to do what is sensible.
The petition wont be debated in the chamber of the House. It will be debated, if sensible, in a meeting room. I don't think the committee will consider a debate sensible as the issue has been the subject of an act of parliament and referendum.

Impossible - there's only 650 in total!

 

Ben didnt write that ref, he copied some tits writing to take the piss.

 

Urh! something else gone against me lol, ta Chazz

 

Which shows how ridiculous our system is when there are only 435 representatives in the whole of the United States, let alone our FPP voting system.

 

The referendum - yes another one! - on electoral reform decided to stick with the status quo. I didn't agree with the decision - and I certainly didn't rant and rave about the result - but I don't think there will be any changes for a long time.

 

Are the MP's going to listen to the people? they better had or you will get a shift to the right.
The backstabbers have ganged up on Corbyn fine. But none of them will win an election either.

Frank Field should stand for Leader. I think he would then win an election if the Tories try and fudge their leadership battle. Then you would get the Labour Mp's having to toe the line. Do what your voters and your leader want or get out.

 

Is less better?
Is there electoral college system better?
I agree with you about FPP but the referendum on the voting system put paid to any changes on that.

 

Are we to assume these 3 million are those residing in London and are students with **** all better to do apart from getting a degree in something that they can never use in the working environment..?

 

The referendum only gave us two choice Peter. If the government could have they would have added 'don't know' to the ballot paper. I do personally think less is better, there are too many wannabes in Parliament whose constituency work is not even handled by them.

 

Stratford seemed like one big building site Peter, why Stratford what's the significance?

 

He hasn't been very convincing since becoming leader, another Kinnock in the making.

 

There's an article that says a lot of them appear to be students or young people from North London and Oxford and Cambridge.

Thursday was an historic day that will have major ramifications throughout the world. You think our MPs will not take any opportunity to try and reverse the decision? You have more faith in them than I do. They lost, they will now try and reverse the decision. Cameron has given them time to prepare for that by resigning. If he'd remained Prime Minister he'd have had no excuse not to invoke Article 50 because he'd already said he'd do it if the UK didn't get a deal.

Benn's decision to force the issue of Corbyn's leadership means Labour is in not fit state to demand the referendum vote is implemented.

 

If Labour got rid of Corbyn, they'd be a shoe in for the next Election or at least give it a good go.

Sadly he seems determined to hang on to power. This means we're stuck with the Tories for some time.

Camerons thrown a strop, and gone back on his declaration he'd carry on and would invoke Article 50 immediatly. Osbourne has not surfaced at all. The 2 most powerful people in the UK. It's shameful.

I can't understand how Labour managed to elect the worst leader ever. He's a professional protester and thorn in the side of the establishment. He is not, and was never, leader material.

Someone earlier said you vote for your local MP, not the leader of the party and a potential PM, and that is how I've always voted, who I think is best for local issues. I will not vote for any Labour candidate while Corbyns at the helm.

 

They're just using the result to blame him. Better campaigning by him would have made no difference to the result. Again its just political opportunism. That Benns a ****er. His Dad will be spinning in his grave.
These ****s are going to try and tell us whats best for us. GTF

 

I think it's mainly to do with the transport links.

 

17 million voted to leave - 3 million want the vote repeated - no doubt that includes many not even entitled to vote as well as the losers who did - just because you don't like the result doesn't mean it has to be done again - move on
