  1. Corbyn has to juggle the members views (the remain minority) with the voters views (the leave majority). He keeps calling for a general election because there’s a good chance of him winning. Tory voters hate May, she got in via media stitch up, but they believed she would offer a real Brexit despite being a remainer. Emperor May has no clothes.

  2. Brown and milliband had about 8-9 million votes each

    Corbyn 12 million

     

    Opinion polls are bullshit, always check the vote count

    Brown 8,609,527

    Miliband 9,347,273

    Corbyn 12,878,460

  3. Corbyn will lose 4 million votes if he supports a 2nd ref

    Labour members are remainers, they voted at conference for a 2nd ref

    It will be interesting to see how Corbyn handles things

  4. There's no appetite in parliament for no deal and I think it's extremely unlikely. We're looking at an extension then 2nd ref.

    That might be a good thing in the short run, we'll end up with new political parties taking power.

    Labour and Tory are decrepit. Going against Brexit will kill them off for good.

  5. No deal is down in law as the natural outcome

     

    Prime minister May and Chancellor Hammond are opposed to no deal

     

    Might see more resignations in the next few weeks, which would change things a lot

     

    There’s a ‘payroll vote’ that’s quite important in keeping people on May’s side, cushy gov jobs for votes

     

    Let’s see what happens

  6. Im more worried about probrexit yellow vests turning to terror. We already had an mp get shot and stabbed to death (jo cox) and a lonely nutter drove his car into a mosque. Chances of civil disorder are quite high if there's a 2nd ref.

  7.  

    But scotland voted to stay in the union :/

     

    the main contention is that it was a massive, persuasive part of unionist campaigning that to vote for remaining in the UK would keep scotland in the EU, which is a pretty big deal for scotland because they export a higher percentage of goods there than england. scotland voted to remain in the EU with the highest majority of any part of britain. 

     

    the english goverment treats scotland with such a vicious contempt its still surprising to me that indepence lost the first time round. the mandate was established afterwards aswell by scotland once again voting the SNP in so overwhelmingly that they became the 3rd largest westminster party even though scotland has 5million citizens compared to englands 60 odd million.

    Yeah I wonder if Snp has reached its peak or will they continue nagging for their own 2nd ref. Depends on corbyn’s skills.

  8. There’s no rule saying we can’t have a referendum every year. I guess people feel helpless and powerless after losing a referendum. To me it makes sense to wait a whole generation before asking again. Every 30-40 years sits about right.

     

     

     

    Has anyone seen this? Video about the ref we had in the 70s.

  9. Ukip won 4 million votes at its peak. Even if a 2nd referendum happens, Nigel Farage is planning on making a Brexit Party that in theory could win 4 million votes at least at a general election. 2nd ref irrelevant. Brexit is unstoppable.

  10. It's narrowing down now, May's deal is very likely to be rejected again. So we're probably looking at an Article 50 extension (and reasonable chance of a 2nd ref after that) or no deal.

    Who would you pick to be PM?
