Populism = what people want That's why it's popular Edited by W12 (26 Sep 2019 2.55pm) Quite. Saw some Remainer Retard being interviewed about Corbyn and he was defending him by saying that the reason JC was not popular was that he was not doing populist things. Surely the point of a democracy is that you do popular things? Like enacting the votes of 52% of people who voted for Leave? That is why their stance of a second referendum with Remain as an option is so insane. If the first one has been ignored then why should a second have any credibility what so ever? That is the madness and the stupidity of the Remainer side. Support the Lib Dem position of Revoke because that is the one that is credible. Parliament does not have to take any notice of a referendum. Advisory only. And by ignoring the one held on June 23rd, all subsequent ones become farcical. Doing far more harm than good because nobody will accept the outcome if it does not suit. That ship will have well and truly sailed. Democracy is, when all is boiled down, a 'populist' method of choosing how we are governed. Ignore that and you are left with dictatorship.

Labour MP just stood up in parliament and claimed that people voted for Brexit because of austerity. How out of touch are these people?

Populism is dictatorship. For some unfathomable reason, people persist in needing and believing that someone, often a complete dickhead, is going to solve all their problems, no matter how ridiculous. Of course Hitler comes to mind, but at least Germans had serious problems. Nowadays they just make it all up. Like those we recognise as dictators they just ignore the electors anyway and are frequently not elected. But the public just roll over can't face that they have been had again. Until the next liar comes along for them to hero-worship. NURSE, the screens, and bring the sedative.

The key to Johnson's behaviour is financial pressure. If he doesn't deliver brexit on 31st October he and his hedge fund backers with their advanced betting will be short of 6.3 billion pounds. Imagine how much that is, and what it means for Johnson if he doesn't deliver. Now quite likely that he wont, how ironic that it will all be down to his nightmare premiership. Good evidence to support please otherwise we are drifting into remain conspiracy nutterville.

What about abuse/threats received from the left by Jewish MPs and those speaking out about anti-semetism in the Labour Party. Can't blame Johnson for that, seems Momentum are as bad if not worse but presumably that does not count Can both be bad?

While there are no doubt anti semitic elements within Momentum I most certainly don't support the censorship and way over the top responses to individuals criticising Israel. What is this nonsense?....people should be able to criticise whoever the feck they want to criticise. And I say that as someone who supports Israel. The media are enabling and supporting.....what are in effect attacks on free speech in the way they report this stuff.

Populism is the new word adopted by the drongo Left because they realised that most normal people saw through their shout racist tactics.

Yet another Commons defeat for 'the incredible hulk'. That's 7-0. Cross-party support? Now? That's shocking. Time for a vote of no confidence

I assume that you are referring to Corbyn's conference speech in which he promised everything to everyone

They are there to lead the government and serve the nation. Only pleasing their base is what Trump does. Let's pray Johnson is not turning into a mini clone of him!
