Democracy is a handful of old fud Brexit voters from Buckinghamshire choosing a fat bloke they know is a **** to be our Prime Minister because he’s made vague promises to **** up their grandchildren’s future as much as he can.

Let's admittedly **** up the country with a no deal and then give tax cuts to the rich. I'm sure his Muslim great grandfather would be so proud. Suppose he could borrow one of Goves very detailed plans to use, he has one for everything.....

Not everyone votes with their wallet.

Well none of those 5 had a credible plan to break the Brexit log jam created by May and Parliament, and all of them seemed **** scared of a general election, so I expect us to remain in purgatory for a long time yet.

I'd be worried prime minister Boris would vacillate over leaving if it wasn't for the fact that Farage and the Brexit Party will constantly be holding his feet to the fire.

If he goes much over October, then he and the Tory Party will implode. So I can't see him or the party letting that happen because, as we know, the Tories are ruthless survivors.
 
Which explains why people want a no-deal Brexit to get it done. Wallet comes after democracy

Not the same at all and you know it. Some people vote for what they think is best for the poorest in society, even if it might make them a little worse off personally. No-Dealers are willing to inflict further poverty on these same people in some impossible quest for 'independence'.
 
None of those 5 last night said they wanted a no deal Brexit. They all insinuated or said it would damage the economy to an extent.

No one wants it per se. They'd take it though, to break the log jam. The fact is that the best way of getting an acceptable deal (which means limiting the Irish backstop) is to go seriously for a no deal. The EU won't let that happen - their economies would be rocked and they need that $39bn

See, there's where we disagree. It is not impossible for the UK, the fifth biggest economy in the world, to be independent.

It's hard to make the break, sure, like it's hard to get clean of heroin, but it will be done.

The £39bn is not significant at all. It's payable over 60 years according to our esteemed Chancellor.
