Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

This would be magnificent.

Welcome to your brand new socialist eutopia. A general election in the middle of food shortages, queues at the ports, chaos at airports is an act of mass suicide by the Conservative Party.

It's just parliamentary democracy,and we all want that don't we.

I think the speaker just ripped up the rule book
it could be any thing that clogs up the works

Looks like remainer MPs aren't the only ones to use parliamentary shenanigans.

Re: Brexit

Yeah but it’s not at all clear how this plan works. You need parliament to vote for it

Meanwhile in the real world 300 Conservative MPs would quite like to keep their jobs. Well, most. Some will of course be happy to go to the private sector like George Osbourne.

Never let the facts get in the way of a Brexit dream.

Re: Brexit

When push comes to shove, I wonder if m/any Tory MP's feel so strongly about this that they would be prepared to actually let their Government fall??

There's about 20 of them, which is enough. :)

Lincolnshire MP Nick Boles has revealed he received a death threat after he voted against the government in a Brexit-related vote.

The Grantham and Stamford MP was one of 20 Conservatives to back an amendment to a bill to limit the scope for tax changes following a no-deal.

A message posted via his website used explicit language to say his days were "numbered".

The message also called him a traitor and said: "Prepare to die."

Sounds like a Tory graph reader. Their comments section full of threats and hate. It doesn't seem moderated at all.

Re: Brexit

Someone is going to die as a result of all the hate and venom unless the Government takes responsibility instead of dragging this out.

You would think it would be easy to get away with destroying democracy after all it was so easily won .

The criminal investigations into Leave.EU's source of funds haven't been concluded yet, so let's not jump to any hasty conclusions.

Did you even read the article?

Quote:

Mr Boles said he would vote for Theresa May's deal even though he could see it was "flawed".

"If it isn't that deal then parliament needs to agree on another deal," he said.

He said he could not support a second referendum, which he said would be divisive and a betrayal of the people who voted to leave.

Strange as it may seem, disagreeing with you does not equate to "destroying democracy".

Language like that spurs extremists on, making them think that violence is an acceptable alternative.
