No, it will probably drop down the priority list when we get invaded by the self replicating robots of Balthazar 5 though.

No Labour was pandering to the right when they instigated it and the Tories were pandering to their libertarian far right wing when they cancelled it.

I thought that sounded like a decent suggestion, but apparently the electoral commission have said it wouldn't work because it just confuse the electorate! Would any P&Bers be confused if, when casting their vote, they were presented with a ballot paper having an additional question on Brexit? Not me but then I voted Remain. Obviously they are concerned about the thickoes who voted Leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There not thickoes - they know what they voted for. There was quite a few of them from South Shields on Question Time last night - must have had a combined IQ of around 25. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geopolitics makes governments of all flavours behave badly to foreigners on the other side of the planet who don't have a vote. They weren't foreigners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Very occasionally I will watch something like Question Time hoping some Leave voter will say something and I will then say "okay, now I get it". It never happens. Almost always they are angry, pointy finger types who say "X means X" and we need to leave because we need to leave. An incredibly dull programme nowadays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 The AV referendum was at the same time as a council election.The AV referendum was the same day as the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, and both were damaged by it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 It is amazing to think that voters are so thick that they can't cope with two questions on the same day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not aimed at you but others stating Windrush shows the Tories to be far right, whilst ignoring the labour treatment of the Chagos Islanders in the 60s and all governments attitude towards them since. This doesn't make every government since 1967 far right.It's not ID cards per we that are the problem but the whole rationale behind it.It's straight from the southern Republican playbook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I remember having a debate that brexit would be used to roll back workers rights with one of the alt right zoomers/brexit crayon munchers. Memo leaked today pointing directly to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 If it’s OK to have a third GE in three years why is it wrong to have a second referendum? We can change our mind on who we vote for but not on Brexit? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
