Current Affairs EU In or Out

I was, of course, being facetious, but Cambridge Analytica have at least shown us that such methods are very effective, so it would be naive to say they played no part at all.

I heard they played a big part in Remain, like sheep they said......

Of course but a vote was had leave won it so I believe it has to be carried out or it just goes on and on and on, a unintended consequence of not seeing it though is it helps the far right narrative

That not giving them what they want it denies them the vehicle to drive it through.

This gives them leave though; it might not be the leave they want, but it is leave.

This U turn by Corbyn is disgraceful really, Brexit was in his manifesto. May should call a general election and wipe him out.........

I think there will be a United coalition against Farage, the arguments are much better tested and people will rightly all him to outline his plans in detail - which he is completely unable to do.

The trouble is that many brexiteers are secretly aware that they've been lied to, but will continue to support brexit rather than admit openly that they were fooled in the first place. I think the term for this is "cognitive dissonance". In other words, you won't win an argument with this type of person by pointing out facts and logical errors in their thinking; they'll simply repeat empty slogans like "you lost, get over it" or "fake news" or "17.4 million". Anything but admit that they were wrong.

Can't imagine what you mean...I've seen no evidence to suggest this.

Yes but he wasn't elected, so maybe he needs a change of tact.

What does this mean?

Ha Ha Ha.

May isn't going to be around for any new election.

 

[davek]

There will NEVER be a second referendum. NEVER.

A friend of a friend (I know) who works in Whitehall reckons that’s what the rumours are.... can’t really see much point in it myself

Labour maintained throughout that a no deal Brexit was the worst possible outcome and they would do everything to ensure it didn't happen

May has said she will stand down before the next election part of the deal when they had the no confidence vote.

Not a chance another referendum would get through Parliament anyway and probably rightfully so. Another vote would be toxic and leave would likely win again. They would a ridiculously easy campaign whilst remain would still have the impossible task of creating affection for an organisation that is still loathed throughout Britain.

Then Farage is right back in business and millions will vote for him and his ilk.

Tories will steal his clothes mate, once they get near an election he will become irrelevant.

I hope so mate but if Brexit doesn't happen I think its back on for him.
