Exactly as they would be lucky if they got more then 100 seats if there was a election..

Re: Brexit
 

Please stop bringing this man in to this discussion - no idea why you and Damien keep bringing it up - he lost (quite rightfully), so no idea why he is still being mentioned.

Re: Brexit
 

He usually knows which way the wind is blowing as he is a experienced political pundit.

Re: Brexit
 

As I said, he is right. We agree on that.

However, both scenarios are so unlikely as can be safely discounted.

That's right. It seems to be the typical refrain of the losers: "I want another vote!"

That's what one of my Grandsons would have said when he was 3. He's not 10 yet, but he's grown out of that whingy "It isn't fair" stage. It's about time our politicians grew up too.

Precisely.

Re: Brexit
 

Because he stood as a MEP candidate in the EU elections, suopporting Brexit.

Re: Brexit
 

Just to make it clear to you OB l have never once said there should be another vote

Re: Brexit
 

Well I don't understand the need to keep raising his loss - he lost, no big deal.

Re: Brexit
 

1) It's funny 2) His loss says good things about the UK. 3) One thing that unites a lot of us 4) Very funny

Re: Brexit
 

Total vote tallies are in:-

Labour campaigned on a Leave with a deal ticket so it's gone in Leave column, Tory party also ran with "Get Brexit done", so it too is there.

Even if we remove Labour's tally from the leave total, it still flattens Remain with 7,304,926 total votes.

My remark was aimed at Tommy Robinson, Den.

That's quite a decisive win for leave, no doubt about that.

Re: Brexit
 

Okay OB.:)

Re: Brexit
 

No majority there for a hard Brexit though. Just 26% of the country wants that. A close deal with the EU will satisfy no one but is probably the best solution. An ideological hard Brexit won't heal the nation's divisions and it could set the Conservative Party back decades.

Re: Brexit
 

Some strange things I've learned from reading the last few pages of . . . dross

*Brexit won more seats than anyone else but lost
*17.4 million people didn't vote for Brexit last night, therefore Remain won
*The EU couldn't care two hoots about the 28 (29) seats won by Brexit, as they'll make no difference to anything
*There will be a second referendum because nutcases on Twitter want one
*People in NE Lincolnshire have a brilliant sense of humour (can't give you more rep yet) ;)

. . . at least there was no mention of Blair :D

Re: Brexit
 

If you compare the UKIP vote of the previous EU election and the referendum result afterwards, against the recent combined Brexit and UKIP vote, then the inference could be that the Leave vote in a referendum is higher than before.
