Re: Brexit, I disagree. None of the parties is able to get a deal through the House of Commons, (unless possibly if Boris wins an overwhelming majority which I doubt,) as the parties will vote against any deal on principle, and a no-deal option has been banned by law. Therefore Labour is offering the only viable alternative;

Negotiate a deal and put it before the people to decide.

 

Seems the only sensible solution with a chance of bringing the whole mess to a conclusion. 

 

A party with a large majority could reverse the law with another law.

Boris has tried that. Didn't it go all the way to the Supreme Court, (I wonder what that cost?) where it was thrown out.

The judiciary will not intervene against a large majority.

A bill passed by Parliament supercedes any from a previous Parliament.

Maybe, but there would be a public outcry. Personally I think it was a mistake to take no deal off the table in the first place, as it weakens our negotiating position. But I wouldn't trust Boris to organise a tea-party let alone Brexit. 

I am far more concerned about the state of the country if Boris were left in charge.  IMO the man is a racist and a fascist.

I doubt it if the Tories get a working majority topside of 20.

 

Corbyn showed complete naivety (or stupidity or dishonesty) believing "no deal" was off the cards. It isn't - if the Tories get a majority that would see them through 5 years it is a distinct possibility.

This election isn't just about Brexit. It's about what happens afterwards. We could have another 5 years of the Tories. I wonder how many more people they can finish off in that time?

You mean when it actually won elections.   How odd.  

Yep. Won another Election to carry on implementing watered down Thatcher policies, which the Tory voters found very attractive.

He had the luxury of stupid' Labour' voters and stupid Tory voters backing his non Labour policies.

He couldn't lose really. Whilst he was in, the man and woman in the street gained nothing of any note. (PFI ? )

Blair was never Labour. Not even close to it.

What is Labour if not a broad church but the further left you go will turn the stupid voters has you call them away. The average man and woman sit in the middle ground and will listen to both sides unlike you that’s blinkered to anything that differs from your socialist utopia.

And that's the typical bile I now see constantly from current Labour voters.

 

Considering the popularity there must have been a lot of "stupid" people in the country back then.

 

Or maybe you're just one of Scargill's dinosaur Socialist Labour lot?
