Off Topic OLOF's political thread

What if you forgot to vote, but you're a mod?

 

What would you have voted?

 

I would have voted Leeds, Leeds, Leeds.

 

Then go get fooked,we're rockers.

 

It all depends on your voting intentions, let us know which way you are going to vote and then we will let you know if you have our permission.
May not be democratic but hey democracy is just about dead in this country anyway.

 

Which one are you Chesh

I would have voted remain.

Just don't think its the right time for us to exit

 

Serious question and honest answer only

If the result of the vote was the other way, it had been remain and by a huge margin and there was another vote next week would you still go and vote knowing the first vote was a landslide in favour of remain?

Nothing personal but I’m finding the ones kicking up a lot of the fuss are those that never bothered voting first time around. Not saying you are Elland and I know you don’t post much political stuff but my step kids, their partners, none bothered voting now they want a second chance and they seem to be the ones wanting to vote remain.

Remainer politicians seem to be banking and relying on those who never voted as votes that would swing it should they get their own way for another referendum. Once again they’re not in tune with the public and how many remain voters who’ve been poisoned by the whole thing and who’d vote leave if there was another.

MPs and Euro MPs really under estimate the average Brit when it comes to thinking they can tell us what to do and force us into a corner.

 

You have some strange rockers down south

 

Mate I am real. If, and that is a big if right now, the UK accepts the deal proposed by May then in the words of Boris Johnson when referring to the PM's plan "if the UK is forced to mirror EU laws, many people would say, What is the point of what you have achieved?’ because we would have gone from a member state to a vassal state”. So it's not a vassl state yet but really could become one if Mays plan is accepted.

If however you mean the rhetoric around Germany being the dominant country in the EU then there is a clear option. Why is the UK backing away from the option of being dominant, are they not up to it? or why not at least have a say in the way laws, that it will adopt under Mays exit plan, are formulated.

It really seems like a wimps way out just to leave because they aren't getting their own way, really is this what the UK has become?

 

Looks like it to me, Eric.

 

Hope you’ve all signed, over 350k in a day

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

 

Over 400,000 now

 

That’s okay, the petition runs for 6 months, we could be out before they have to debate it. Remember 16 million voted remain, those were adults who had to get off their arse and leave the house and vote. This is an online vote, you don’t need to leave your house, just click a button or two, you don’t even need to prove you’re of legal age.

 

For the record I think Mays deal stinks, I’d go hard no deal Brexit myself

 

We should have left without a deal more than two years ago with our heads held high.

Even though it would be the final humiliation, as if we were actually being kicked out instead of just a straightforward exit as it should have been, I'm hoping France today veto the extension May is hoping for.

Out on March 29th with her deal or no deal.

 

Just 17 million more to go
Should count this as your second referendum,it you don't get over 17 million by 29th march you lost.

 

Petition finishes in August. maybe you should have thought about this 6 months ago.

 

Maybe somebody should have thought about the implications of BREXIT 3 years ago?

 

Was going to do a petition for mrs May to tell remain where to stick their petition,but Theresa has just told me there is no need,she already has that one in hand.
