It’s like something out of the dark ages. Dark ages? As recently as 20 years ago in Scotland (and the rise of the SNP), Labour could be sure of nearly all working class and middle class RC votes.

There seem to be some indications now that Labour MPs can vote for it without being deselected. Maybe Corbyn wants it to pass, so it's easier for him to get Leave votes in the upcoming general election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kejan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 It could either way (and I'm just a gobshite with a internet connection), but I reckon it's going to get through by about 7-12 votes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's generally a strong feeling in the air that people, including politicians, just want to move on now. Maybe it's time to think about moving to Northern Ireland. Or better still, the Republic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier to sell Norway/Switzerland versus the Tory deregulated Canada/Singapore/Sell the NHS to the Yanks, without the "put it to a referendum" add on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW: I'd have voted remain myself but to ignore the reasons behind the results is akin to that of Trump being elected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
