I’d agree with the exception of UKIP. That party needs to disappear the way the BNP did. Which funnily enough is what UKIP now is anyway.
I voted leave, and was delighted when the majority wanted to leave the EU.
Apparently, my vote including over seven million more were rejected or semi rejected by the government to leave and adding a deal or throwing a spanner in the works with the EU.
Are there No Laws to protect the people’s vote?
Do you think the rest of the EU countries people are wondering could this happen to us; can our government add or override and change laws to how we vote?
Did you read the bit about a referendum not being legally binding?
What is this 7 million votes being (semi) rejected?
But it has already happened in a number of EU countries already. They were asked to vote again, with some minor variation, if they got the answer wrong.
We certainly wouldn't be the first to rerun a referendum. Seems like standard EU procedure.
They got more votes on Thursday than the LimpDems so I cant see them disappearing just yet.
My understanding was in some of those referenda, the issue at hand was debated further, amendments made or offered up and the public voted again.It's not like people hold a gun to your head in Europe when you go to the polling booth to vote. If the public didn't like it they could have still rejected it.
Which is why Labour need to become a credible oppositionagain.
Yes! Isn't that the same as the UK?
We have had almost three years of ear bashing from the BBC, Sky, Parliament, Mrs Mays/EU ridiculous Brexit withdrawal agreement, and the Politicians - like the 'head in the sand' Tom Watson who says we should vote on Mrs Mays deal or stay in! Is he totally blind and not noticed it has already been rejected by Parliament twice?
So you are right.
I agree.The worry is that many disillusioned leavers will vote for them, not because they share UKIP’s ideals but because they are the only party appearing to stand up for what they asked for.
There are others like Nigel Farage’s The Brexit Party and I have been looking into that but as far as I can tell there doesn’t seem to be any content to it.They don’t update their website or their facebook, they don’t respond to eMails.
My dilemma, when it comes to the local and european elections is who to vote for.
I will be voting because I think it is our duty to vote, I like the Australian idea of compulsory voting.But for the first time in over 30 years I won’t be voting conservative (I accept that probably won’t make any difference in such safe Conservative areas), I won’t vote Labour or LibDem.
So who knows, will have to wait to see what the other options are, but I may end up voting UKIP even though I don’t like what they have become, if they are the only one supporting my veiws on the EU.
Cheers,
Nigel
Farridge and Batty could split each other's vote, as I think former kippers Evans and Woolfe mentioned on LBC earlier. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
