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...

Yes 17.4 million voted to leave the EU. But what was promised has not been delivered. We haven't been able to get the best trade deal in history so now what? We are stuck at an impasse with no mandate for no deal and with the withdrawal agreement unable to get through parliament. A GE may not solve anything either.

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.

 

The Leave campaigns broke electoral law.

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.

 

 

In the Tory 2017 manifesto they say once that no deal is better than bad deal. But in the government's eyes the deal that they negotiated was a good deal. So by your logic Theresa Mays deal has a mandate.

Majority of voters in the GE and European elections voted for parties who oppose no deal. That's a fact. It's not a lie!

Also can't understand why some people think Labour are in the wrong for not being on the Leave side of things. Majority of their voters are remainers as are an even greater share of their members. Brexit will hit poorer Labour areas the hardest and Labour have always been the party for the working class. Anyone who thinks voting for the Brexit party is going to increase their quality of life has been well and truly conned.

we have not got a withdraw bill yet, due to parliamentary fractions pursuing their own agendas. forcing a no deal out of the equation so we have no pressure to bare, and trade deals so far the uk signed 13 "continuity" deals covering 38 countries or territories.

In addition, the government announced on 11 September that it had secured "an agreement in principle" with six African nations - South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland) and Mozambique.

The deal is expected to be formally signed off "shortly".

Admitted not earth shattering but ...

Not sure how you reach that conclusion. The backstop issue which would keep part of the uk in the eu indefinitely only really came about after the 2017 GE and everyone knows it is a bad deal. 

You have seemingly admitted that their manifesto states that no deal is better than a bad deal and now the goalposts are moving again to an attempt to add up all other party votes to try and diminish or write off the actual mandate given to the government.

 

You have to twist logic to be able to conclude that people didn't vote for no deal. 

That is my point.

Also, brexiters want another referendum because we know we have the numbers. Remainers are desperately trying to thwart that.

In your opinion. Which is not explained and no workings out provided.

In my opinion, not only will they be better off, but also it doesn't actually matter if people will be better or worse off because we voted for it. 

Do we have a choice as to how we are governed? That is the important question and I hope on 1st November I can say YES.

Because in their manifesto they said they would get a deal. They got one. They thought it was a good one. So by your own logic ( they're in government), Mays deal has a public mandate. 

The backstop is not an issue. It's so far the only solution which has been presented to the border of Ireland.

Did remainers know what they were voting for?

And if we do end up overturning democracy, will they advocate having a third referendum to decide "how" we remain? 

Chalk this one up as another point in the brexit column shall we? 

Remain is remain with the current relationship. There's no other version of remain.

Its not my opinion that more Labour voters are remainers. That's a fact.

Plenty of jobs have already been lost in Labour areas. https://smallbusinessprices.co.uk/brexit-index/

Tell me how voting the Brexit party will increase anybody's quality of life?

Brexit was a middle class Tory vote. 59% of voters came from ABC1.

The met police accepted they broke electoral law and Leave.eu receieved a fine but had no further action. Obviously breaking electoral law isn't serious enough. The unelected Boris Johnson also seems to think he is above the law.
