One of the major reason you failed Brexit is because the stupid red lines crashed into the international treaty of the GFA.The Canadians, Japanese, South Koreans etc.never had that problem.

Bill 1,788 Posted October 30, 2019 2 hours ago, Rock The Boat said: This election needs to be about Brexit because we have to resolve it for once and all. Dithering doesn't help anyone whatever side one is on. So no, let's concentrate on Brexit in this election, it's been dragging on for far too long or " I'm just pointing out that it's not all good from any party, you just have to weigh up the good and bad and make a decision. " Swindon Canary An argument in which I fully agree with Swindon. RTB/Crank's suggestion is absurd as it is dangerous (quelle suprise). Are voters supposed to accept any other nonsensical shiite because a party advocates one particular policy in regard to brexit ? Am i to vote for a party that wants to limit families to a maximum of 2 children because they agree with my thoughts on Brexit ? How much will I therefore accept solely because that party agrees to impliment my wish. What does someone who agrees with all the Lib Dem policies apart from Brexit vote... and visa versa with the Tories. A Tory voter in Scotland who is a Remainer and does not agree with 'independence' ? Vote SNP ? Simply attaching brexit to the debate is a cretinious and stupid idea as not only does it cause confusion among voters but gives the 'winners' a supposed 'mandate' for anything else they intend to do. If I vote for Labour in a two horse race with the Tories does it mean I agree with a policy to end all private schools ? Only a halfwit such as RTB/Crank would not see the danger there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was the pedestrianization of Carnaby Street, rather than it's abolition But thank you for the bonus points You are absolutely right that that is a list of all our yesterday's, I just find it interesting as a normal working person that a collection of policies like that could be proposed by a small party and eventually become law Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,450 Posted October 30, 2019 Hmmm elections predicton. Hung Parliament with tories making loses, but largest party while the lib dems's make large gains and labour on par. Outcome. A coalition goverment headed by Corbyn who will have made any deal/concession whatsoever to gain power. Que labour internal fight between a referendum and further give the EU what they want talks. Coalition collapses. Corbyn(if still around) tries to make any deal/concession whatsoever to have power. Outcome referendum EU and/or Scottish. Sorry got a bit carried away with myself there.

I generally see the public edging towards a middle ground swing towards remain meaning the parliment will take a more extreme swing to remain. With the huge numbers registering to vote and such campaigns as ' #FckBoris ' in London with Best for Britain has launched GetVoting.org the bigots seem to be 'caught in the headlights' as they were in 2017 when they were still trusting outdated polling and depending upon a rightwing media.....that was merely preaching to the convered, hence some of those relics from a bygone ear talking about a 100 seat majority for the Tories The reality is that Lib Dems/Lab swapping votes will reduce the number of Tories elected where as the Tories/brexit Company swapping votes will err.......... reduce the number of Tories elected And as was shown by Survation in 2017 it was those who firmly stated they were going to vote that gave the closer figure of the final result than the previous polling method of asking who will you vote for. It will be far more about who will get their vote out' than how many are dim enough to believe the lies of either Johnson or Farage.

Why don't you come up with some policies that normal, working people are interested in and would vote for? That would be a novel suggestion. Good distraction. Got kinda used to that over the last few years. Policies that could be popular rather than populist. A large scale programme of house building, especially genuinely affordable and social housing. This'll take the housing market out of the hands of a small percentage of people, get people on the ladder and bring the cost of living down. It will also boost sales in shops and create more jobs. Reverse tory cuts to police and social services that may help bring down violent and other types of crime. Same as schooling. Fund and run our NHS better. Fund the training of nurses maybe bringing back buraries. Large investment in sustainable and green energies. Scrap HS2 but divert money into funding better rail links in the north. Work to stop the north south divide getting larger. Make it attractive for companies to relocate up there. Find ways to stop the money simply diverting to the south east. Put inheritance tax on farm land, but only on large scale farms. Stop British land from being owned by offshore tax havens. Repeal any and all land enclosure acts over the centuries. Give land back to the people it was taken from.(This one is never likely, but it would be funny to see some faces if this came up in Parliament.) Start up Leveson 2. I'll think of others.........

That would be a novel suggestion. just as with medical people it is always about curing disease and if you take your mind back to France in the early 1940s it was all about getting rid of the Nazis yes the various resistance groups were split among themselves but they had a common purpose based on what the occupation was during to their country similarly with the danger of brexit and the huge cuts to the social well being of the country, while knife crime goes up the Tories cut police numbers, banks are allowed to carry on unchecked while more and more working families have to rely on foodbanks where the rest of the 'western world is investing in education the Tories have been cutting back, as they have with the NHS, the Forces, the Fire service etc... all the while selling off public assets cheaply that and much else, is why so much of the next 6 weeks will be focussed on building for the future not living in the past Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
