Don't know, but there's plenty of pensioners around with nothing better to do but screw it up for future generations, whilst happily bleeding the country dry themselves!

Re: Brexit
 

No, but nobody considers them a credible anyway! Labour, the Conservatives, the LDs do, plus the nationalist parties in Scotland and Wales in their own area.

Re: Brexit
 

Just remember it was a lot of the now pensioners which voted to take us into the ECONOMIC community in the first place. The difference is that we can see the way the POLITICAL union is taking us and we don't like it.

Re: Brexit
 

The 1975 referendum wasn't a vote to take us in. It was a vote to remain in. We joined in 1973.

Re: Brexit
 

I wonder who will select the candidates, as they don't have members with a vote on things like that?

Re: Brexit
 

I guess the same as selected their Peterborough candidate?

Re: Brexit
 

Putin?

Re: Brexit
 

Not this bullshit again - Know plenty of young people who voted for Brexit Party.

Enough of the prejudices of older voters who have just as much right to vote for who they please and if I am not mistaken, saw plenty of old people marching for a peoples vote so pack it in with the insulting and stereotyping of specific age groups, more specifically, old people. :rolleyes:

Now you are just being frankly, very silly.

Re: Brexit
 

Anyone can apply to be a BP candidate (if you pay £100), but I can't find anything about the selection process on the BP website.

Re: Brexit
 

Change UK who selects theirs - being one sided again, aren't we Hugh? :dozey: :rolleyes:

Re: Brexit
 

I think it is equally relevant that ChangeUK/The Independent Group/whatever their latest name is should also publish how they select candidates, but my answer was in response to a question about the Brexit candidates in the (potentially) upcoming General Election.

Re: Brexit
 

Mick, why all the whatabouterry? No one needs to mention Clinton when discussing trump or Change UK when discussing the Brexit Party.

Re: Brexit
 

I cannot avoid answering a question, when one was not directed at me.

Oh I know you'd just like to focus one aspect of this discussion to just the above, but we are not doing that.

When questions are being asked, why certain members picking on just Brexit Party ?

Because it's always one sided with some of you lot. When I mention issues that are across a whole spectrum on either side, it's "tumbleweed", but when it's Trump or Brexit Party, you jump right on it like bees to honey. It's pathetic.

Re: Brexit
 

You answered #3125 by trying to deflect attention to another party that's on its last legs.

At the moment, we're debating the Brexit Party not Change UK. You don't need to defend every organisation or politician like it's your football team. I don't mind discussing other parties if relevant but it doesn't progress the debate if it's just used as a distraction technique.

Re: Brexit
 

I don't know why you are trying to stir up hatred of the older generation, Mr K.

If the older and wiser people are telling you something that you don't agree with, maybe you should think on. No good complaining after the event.

It's called balance, Andrew.
