NERVY-OWL 192 #517 Posted June 21, 2019 We if Boris gets in he's made some big claims on how he'll deal with Brexit so will be interesting to see what happens if he gets in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I don't know where you have got these figures from or the relevance of them. The only figures which matter if you respect democracy are the 52% who voted to leave in the 2016 EU referendum which made leave the winning choice because the majority voted for that binary option. After the withdrawal agreement had been rejected three times by our Parliamentary Democracy our country should have left the EU without a deal on 29th March which was the default legal default position our Parliamentary Democracy agreed to when they passed legislation to trigger Article 50 by a big margin. The only reason why Boris has got into the pole position of being our next Prime Minister is because our Parliamentary Democracy have practised backsliding rather than implement the choice they gave their own people to make on 23rd June 2016. I supported Mrs May when she became Prime Minister and will support Boris Johnson when he becomes Prime Minister and hope he manages to implement the democratic wishes the majority voted for on 23rd June 2016 which Mrs May failed to do. I think the same people who have never respected the democratic decision the majority made will continue to behave in exactly the same manner they have done since 24th June 2016 regardless of how successful Boris is when he becomes our new Prime Minister.

Boris Johnson will be judged to be a successful Prime Minister by many especially from the 17.4 million who voted to leave the EU, if the UK leave the EU on 31st October without a deal which is the default legal position. Whatever Boris does won't be supported by those people who have no respect for democracy and continue to seek to block the implementation of the 2016 EU referendum result. Are you suggesting 17.4m were happy to vote for a no deal in 2016? Or do you think a significant number of those expected a deal that farage, Johnson, Davies etc etc all promised but couldn’t deliver? I’d bet a fair chunk of those 17.4m don’t want no deal at all.

We don't know do we. There should be a vote on wether we accept the deal may negotiated or leave without. There shouldn't be a vote on wether to leave, we've done that. Unfortunately a new Tory leader will change nothing unless something drastic happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Boris can’t change anything, he hasn’t got the MPs and the EU won’t budge. Change of font on the WA maybe? Comic sans seems about right.

Comic sans seems about right. I don't think we'll know until he's there. TM was a remainer before, so who knows her negotiating ability with that as a background belief? It could change something or change nothing. Often 'that's our final offer' , isn't. The £60bn bill is also a consideration.....

That's another month closer to October 31st with nothing constructive happening. You're absolutely correct. We all know Boris will win the Tory members vote and Jeremy Hunt should act in our country's national interest and withdraw from the leadership contest to give Boris an extra month to conduct Brexit negotiations.

In an ideal World Boris John son wouldn't be our country's next Prime Minister but unlike you I wish him all the best and hope he succeeds in the role of Prime Minister and implements the democratic wishes of the majority.
