Didn't quite put the debate to bed regarding farmers who voted to lose subsidies? Or is it another case of leave argument falling apart like a cheap suit again?

When I asked up thread if you knew anything about this you said yes, but you keep asking the same question. Ihe system of payments to farmers is going to change. The farming community welcome this, CAP as been very unpopular, through various iterations, for years.

Farmers make more from subsidies than they do from farming. Maybe they’re in the wrong business.

I have seen stories about the mega rich getting these subsidies when clearly they don't need them.

I don't know enough to have the answer but I would hope that any future subsidies would be based around protecting the environment and the quality of the food.

If a farmer wishes to go organic or move away from factory intensive farming that should be encouraged.

Mps on the take from the eu!

Doesn't explain why they'd vote leave though

Perhaps they’re concerned with wider issues than their own financial advantage.

Such as? What are the other advantages that balance the financial loss?

The same ones as 17 million plus voters who aren’t farmers.

Yes. The one you support.

It's tragicomic that MPs have all swanned off on carefree holidays after getting the Brexit extension. They should stay put until something is thrashed out. Priorities.

That should be in the past tense.

It would be so interesting to see what people are feeling now. I can't understand why some don't see that sentiment has moved on as the game has changed. Or maybe they do see that and they are trying to thwart the will of the people by blocking a further vote.

In the 1970s it only took 2 years to elapse for there to be a confirmatory vote. Since then there was no real prospect of a vote changing anything until the very recent history. Now we are back to a vote could easily drive changes. So let's have one.

You're right of course.

What was the MPs website called again 'They Work For You'. Yeah, right!

The fact that the Brexit party is currently leading the polls seems to indicate that not everyone has had a change of heart.

Great

Nothing to fear from a plebiscite then. Let’s get on with it and confirm the will of the people.

That’s the way. If they’d got 1% of the vote it would be proof we need another vote. No wonder you’re not used to losing.
