Democracy in this country didn't end on 23th June 2016 any more than it ended on 5th June 1975. It's almost like you're worried Brexit isn't going to be a success and people might change their minds.

Mainly because I support the local Labour MP for Sheffield Central, Mr Paul Blomfield, I've sent him several emails since I moved down to S3, and he always responds    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
RollingJ   1,999 #761 Posted May 2, 2021 OK - get you. Me, I'm a floating tacticalvoter, because I never believe a word a politician says, but if I don't vote, I can't complain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

In 2016 63% of Labour voters voted remain, so some have accepted the result of the vote, for now, even though things are not going well. The impact of the sleaze and jobs for mates is finally getting to voters, as the polls are showing more support for Labour.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I’ll vote for any party that offers to rejoin the EU. You might have a different opinion, being a UKIP member, but you don’t get to tell me how to think.

Mr Allen   0 #764 Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Sorry but it's unlikely UKIP will ever get in, even the folk who actually want UK independence aren't daft enough to vote for them to give them enough seats in Parliament to be a credible threat to the main Parties.     Edited May 2, 2021 by Mr Allen Removing stuff I doubt the Mods would've liked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yes, people are allowed to hold to hold political opinions. Whoever claimed otherwise? But nobody has yet propounded a positive reason for voting Labour as yet. And rejoining the EU is not on offer by any Party, esp. as these elections are not for MPs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
