Simply because they don't "always predict things wrong". Most of the time they don't predict anything, they just rely on the forecasts made by experts and then make political judgements based upon them. Everyone in politics does it and I am pretty sure so would you if you held that responsibility. Nothing ever goes precisely to plan though does it? You just try to do your best and be flexible enough to react when needed.

Only via encouragement and support. As a member of "More United" hopefully some of that does reach the more progressive MPs. And of course making contributions in places like this, supporting those who talk common sense and trying to change the minds of those who don't.

"It will just be temporary" is the excuse of the ultra Brexiteer.

It won't be just temporary! It will establish the framework for the whole future relationship. What happens next is that the detailed work for every sector then gets done within that framework. Get the framework wrong and there won't be an easy way to amend it, or any wish to if the current mob remain in government.

There is a mutual benefit to a deal so it will happen sooner rather than later.

If they post a lot. then yes, but no one in particular just that it could apply to anyone who posts a lot.

So your original statement was based on nothing?

I see.

Wisbech is a blatant political activist. He is just being a little secretive about who for. His twisty turny arguments in favour of Remain are excruciating.

Excuse me for butting in!

I am not in the least secretive. It really ought to be obvious. I support the will of Parliament and not just one section of it, whatever their political flavour.

You would be hard put to find any recent comments from me supporting "remain", although that is what I voted for in 2016. I continue to believe that holding a referendum was a big mistake, that the campaign in favour of leaving was both bogus and compromised by outside interference, so that us deciding to leave was not just a bad decision but one that ought to have been declared invalid. Nevertheless, my approach is that I want Parliament to do it's job and decide how to handle this. That has been my consistent position. When I explain things they are simply explanations of particular positions and not me advocating them. Any advocating I do is directed at those who actually can change things and they aren't here. Not yet anyway. If another referendum is called, which I hope it won't but can see why it might, then my position would change and, after the options become available and clear, I might well advocate in favour of one of them. I would probably though be too busy knocking doors and delivering information to people actually likely to listen.

With this attitude of Parliament knowing best for everyone what’s the point of having an opinion or advocating anything? Why don’t you just accept whatever decision the come to seeing how they are apparently omnipotent?

Bias BBC again. Add up the leave votes and leave wins!
