If he was in charge of Brexit negotiations, we'd have probably joined the Euro and given up our rebate! :D

I think it would have been better for us to have used professional negotiators rather than politicians.

Companies use them all the time to get the best desl for themselves, yet we are using untrained people for something as important as this.

I think it’d have been better if we’d a clear idea of what our negotiating objectives were from the start. Single market, customs union, Canada, Norway all got mentions along the way.

Theresa May has negotiated something, and crashing out on WTO terms was never considered likely prior to about six months ago when the penny dropped the EU had a coherent position and we didn’t.

Sounds fairly democratic to me...




So does delivering the Referendum result.

That's the wrong type of democracy for some.

Anybody who thought that the UK would be more coherent than the EU needs to give their head a shake

Andrew Neil for one, who on the night of the referendum told us how Europe has never been more divided between north and south, east and west.

The non-binding one, because of the sovereignty of Parliament, referendums cannot be legally binding in the UK, and are therefore advisory*?

*from the European Union Referendum Act 2015

Don't be silly. The sub-topic here is the matter of democracy in relation to honouring the Referendum result. You Remainers hang your hat on dishonorable tenets such as the advisory nature of a referendum. But then the Leave result was put into law by Parliament by a huge majority.

The dishonorable MPs that are trying to thwart our departure from the EU are a disgrace to democracy.

And a hell of a lot of leavers hung their hats on the advisory nature of a certain bus adverts claims, that was pretty dishonourable to

In my circle of acquaintances, I don't actually know of any who believed that stuff. I have read stories on various internet platforms about some who did though . . I've also read about people who believe the Earth is flat, believe those from Norfolk have 6 fingers, and those who are absolutely 100% convinced that Aliens move among us :p:

The only people I ever hear complaining about the bus are people who voted remain anyway. :scratch:

The person that paid for the advert said it made the difference and 2 out of 3 doctors and nurses believed it, how nice it must be to hang out in such high brow company where you're smarter than most doctors

Re: Brexit
 
I predict trouble outside parliment the the trecherous MPs trying to block the legal will of the people, manage to block Brexit.

I the predict the end of Labour anf the Tories in their current form, and loads of MPs out of work.

I for one will spoil every vote after, and it will be a meaning less vote.

Please don't give me any it was only advisary crap (I wish I could say stronger)
