tzijlstra Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I know Yanis is Right wing but what he says is interesting.... How to disqualify your own post with one 'fake news' fact. Yanis Varoufakis was an MP for what is essentially Greece's communist party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 You really are a fine example of this modern, fake news, upside down world! Someone expressing a desire to let people vote on an issue is accused of showing contempt for democracy, however somebody desperately trying to prevent the people from voting is portraying themself as a champion of democracy. Donald Trump would be proud of you! The people have already decided that we wish to Leave the EU. We must respect the result of the referendum and Leave. Holding another referendum to reverse the decision of the June 2016 vote, without even implementing the result, is simply contempt for the democratic process. I support Len McCluskey and the Unite union in respecting the will of the people and the implementation of the democratic outcome of the June 2016 vote.

RJRB Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 If “ The People” now feel that any of the many touted forms of Brexit offer a worse outlook than Remain does then “The People” have every right to insist on accepting the status quo for the foreseeable future. We “The People” will tell May,McCluskey,Johnson,Farage and all those pursuing their own agendas ,what we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Er Hello , the people have ALREADY voted on the EU issue. So what you worried about. Surely another vote would help your cause, vote for remain, soft brexit or the idiotic hard brexit. Scared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Democracy is not always straightforward. 1951 saw the Conservative Party win 48% of the vote to 48.8% for Labour. Yet there was a Conservative majority.

Top Cats Hat Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Er Hello , the people have ALREADY voted on the EU issue. Yes, and 25% of them voted to leave which was less than 40% of the electorate. That is why the whole thing is such a mess because there is no popular support for it. I know it and so do you which is why you are so desperate to avoid another vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet there was a Conservative majority. There can be nothing more straightforward than a referendum result. The winner is the choice which gets the most votes and also has a percentage of more than 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people have already made their decision regarding our membership of the EU. We voted to Leave. I know it and so do you, which is why you are so desperate to force us to vote again and change the result. You are going against the clear wishes of the General Secretary of our second largest trade union, Unite, which donates more to the Labour Party than any other organisation.
