Blue-Toon Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Almost half (48%) of Britons would prefer to see Britain leave the EU and Jeremy Corbyn not become Prime Minister. By contrast, only just over a third (35%) would rather the Labour leader move in to Number 10 and hold a second referendum. The remaining 17% are unsure either way. https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2019/08/17/48-35-britons-would-rather-have-no-deal-and-no-cor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 This beggars belief. These people deserve everything that would happen to them if a No Deal Brexit was to happen.

Drag it out until we don't care anymore, then they can just do whatever they like with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing to do with Brexit would be to cancel it - there could very well be a sizeable number of MPs from all sides in favour of doing just that, but would they have the gumption to combine themselves into an effective unit capable of bringing it about? Party, trade union loyalties and all that crap would probably prevent it happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 The Mumbleclown still draws adulation from Momentum weirdos at his sermon on the mount in Bintown, Yorkshire though, so things are bound to change once the campaign really gets going. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ends up the same as 2016 it'll be remarkable. I'd think a high turnout suits the Lib Dems, but that theory could be bollocks. The Shetland Times pulled together a night 5pm spreadsheet in 2017 showing that and the two previous elections: https://www.shetnews.co.uk/2017/06/08/turnout-slightly-down-by-teatime/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
