Change costs money. No deal will not be detrimental long term, even your "experts" will tell you that.

The mandate thing is a lie jacko. Please stop spreading it.

The mandate thing is not a lie. In the last GE and in recent European elections majority of voters voted for parties who oppose no deal. Also there is no mandate in parliament for no deal. And no deal was never on the table in the original referendum.

Correct me if I'm wrong..... both major parties stood in the GE on a platform of honouring the referendum and the libs stood on remaining.... none of which is no deal.

The big winners in the EU elections were brexit and libs neither of which is no deal.

There is a clear distinction between wanting to remain and not wanting to leave without a deal...... even though the politicians seem confused by it.

Party lines have become a little clearer......

Tories want to leave with or without a deal..... ish.

Libs and smaller groups want to remain.

Labour seem to have a confused stance, difficult to explain and even more difficult to understand..... they want to renegotiate a deal the EU says can't be renegotiated,  then campaign against the deal, whatever it may be, they have so diligently negotiated.

None of the above bridges the chasem that has split the people they represent..... bearing in mind they are supposed to represent all the people in the constituency not just leavers or remainers.

There are certain people who seem to call everything they disagree with a lie. Folk are perfectly entitled to their own opinions but they cannot make up their own facts. 

The only 2 facts I can see are that more people voted to leave than remain and politicians don't have a clue what to do about it.

I don't disagree with that.  There is a narrow mandate to leave - there is no mandate to leave without a deal.  That is not what we were promised prior to the referendum and it is absolutely NOT what Johnson said would happen a few days after the referendum.  If leaving with no deal is such a brilliant option why has the government had to spend billions preparing for the detrimental effects of it? 

I envy your optimism Jean..... believing what politicians promise in an election is "one step beyond" and into "the outer limits" of reality for me.... I avoided "the twilight zone" as being to obvious..... still can't do smilies.

Colin, it's a complete lie made up by remainers to split the brexit vote up.

"We can get a great deal" is not the same as "We will not leave without a deal"

 

Furthermore, the tories literally won a general election standing on a "no deal is better than a bad deal" manifesto. So there literally is a mandate for no deal.

There would also be a stronger mandate for no deal if Corbyn, Swinson and the SNP were not blocking a general election.

The only solid ground, and that's a bit shaky, in all the discussions around brexit is that more people voted to leave than remain.

The rest is guess, forecast, possibility, maybe, threat and hyperbole.

I think a large number of voters on both sides have refocused on the ineptitude of politicians and the pledges they don't keep.

I also think that saying we are doing this for your own good because you didn't know what you were doing rubs salt into the wound..... there will be a political price to pay.

Its going back a good way to 2016, but the general feeling was that the people needed to be more involved in politics, so Cameron gave us the referendum and "we will implement their decision", not thinking the leave vote would win, as quiet a few remain voters did hence they did not make the effort to vote. Has as been said people can change their minds, but labour did not take the tories to court after they lost the 2017 election, a democratic country does not do that, parliament as stifled the govenments effort to deliver on the result.  Come the election this parliament will suffer to the will of the people, and rue its behaviour to them...

   Now its parliament wringing its hands saying how BJ is being undemocratic conveniently forgetting what it has done. i must admit I do wonder how a lot of these mp's would take a second leave vote? the Thames would be full.

Ironic that most  in parliament are shouting and protesting as undemocratic, BJ's recent moves, yet will not deliver on the result of a democratic vote...

Finally, Cameron is back on  the scene to promote his book, and blair the war criminal is butting in as well (wonder how much he is charging for his opinion).

17.4 m at least want brexit. 

How do you know? 

Fact: 17.4 million voted leave in 2016.

But you can't possibly know the figure for who wants brexit now unless you've been around the country and asked every single person. In that case I'll let you off for thinking your opinions are facts.

You can't just go around calling people liars because you don't agree with them. Compromise will never be achieved with this sort of name calling.

Read the thread back colin and you will see that I'm fighting fire with fire. The usual suspects dont like it because it removes one of their favoured lies from the game (that lies influenced the brexit vote)

Oh ok, and I suppose we should have a second vote to just check that we haven't changed our mind? 

Despite the 2017 GE.

Despite the euro elections.

Despite the current polls.

Because remainers thing that some people might have changed their mind, we should vote again?

Come on Regal,, you shouldn't blitheringly and repeatedly try and use this tactic that the lies, 350m to the NHS and immigration to tens of thousands/year, didn't influence voters, these statement were lies and influenced the Leave voters and how they voted massively. 

I would suggest there has never been two lies that have influenced the outcome of a single British election/referendum more than those two lies in the 2016 referendum.

we don't know how many want it now, but does that matter, when we were asked in 2016 17.4 million knew what they wanted...
