Right. Thanks.


Er, what does that mean?

Brexit removes a layer of politicians. Apparently that'll make the remaining ones stop "spieling for the globals". Clearly it will.

Hence voting to give absolute power to a party leader to do what he wants with Imps's mandate. That'll fix it.

And we still don’t know why @ImpSaint wants to leave! Is he gullible enough to fall for the blatant lies issuing from the arch-spunktrumpet Farage, or is he a secret disaster capitalist of the ilk of Mr Rees-Mogg, the only people who will actually benefit from Brexit. Perhaps one day he will enlighten us!

You made me larf too much and I've forgotten the question or even what we were talking about :emoticon-0105-wink:

I think this is the one thing I've latched onto in the Imp Manifesto, anti globals and anti global spieling

So surely becoming tiny GB again means that we are just a leaf blowing in the global wind of the multi-nationals whereas Europe at least has the potential size to take more of a stand if it decided to. So by leaving we remove that option, however unlikely the Imp Manifesto says it is

A vote for the Brexit party or UKIP is a vote against the environment. Is Imps happy with that given his previously stated green credentials?
Blue planet 2 concludes tonight. More from Attenborough about damage done with some rays of hope.

In keeping with the annoyances on this thread about answers to this question (after writing for pages and pages and pages on why) then I will just say..............because I do.

If you want to know why then read the last 807 (and counting) pages.

A vote for anyone is a vote against a lot of things we want. Trying to pick out one party on this stance is a non-starter. Every time we vote we vote for some things we don't like. And I don't think the green aspect you talk about will be taken apart by BP. We are already a country that does more than most and as stated above (and agreed with) a lot of the supposed pro-environmental lot (including me) are barking up the wrong tree on many things and actually making things worse.

People on here are quite happy to play the "selective vision" game and then accuse me of it. I have been quite clear on my anti globalist stance. And I have been quite clear on my environment stance, even to be corrected from what I thought was doing something good by fats.

Anyways, You all vote for your parties that do everything you want while I can be the only one that votes for a party that does something(s) I want while doing something I don't want.

No, it'll do Farage's version of one thing you want. After that, with no manifesto, you've given him your mandate to do literally anything.

You're all getting a bit carried away here. How will I be giving Farage a mandate to do anything by voting for BP at the Euro elections?

This is as bad as Adonis and his "If you vote for Brexit PArty you vote for the privatisation of the NHS to which he has rightly been hit by masses of replies from [HASHTAG]#FPBE[/HASHTAG] remainers telling him to shut up as he is embarassing with comments like "Do MEPs decide these things now?"

Pray tell how voting BP in the euros is going to change UK policy in the way you want to paint it?

Where did I say he would affect UK policy, pray tell (oh, get you)?

He could say that his mandate from you is to try to follow a policy of stopping the EU ever allowing in any refugees under any circumstances or repatriating everyone who's ever moved to the EU from outside. I'm certainly not saying he will but he'll have your mandate to do so.

How can he do anything of that as an MEP? Explain?

I didn't mention UK policy. A bp vote is for Farage and his clowns and jokers with their denial bleating to have, if elected, a voice in the EU parliament.

Farage doesn't have anything but his own interests at heart and will manipulate gullible people then leave the scene.
 
Thankfully the majority see through Farage and his brexit bollocks.

Majority, maybe. but they will win the popular vote and seats in 2 weeks time taking a chunk from Labour that the media are ignoring at the moment.
