My own opinion has hardened that leaving would makes things worse, because I now know more. That though doesn't mean that I think we will as I want Parliament to do it's job and decide what, on balance, they consider is best for us ALL. Not just me! There will be plenty of people whose opinions haven't changed at all, either way. Some will have though, both ways, as a consequence of the intervening years of experience. The idea that everyone has a set opinion and no amount of new "information", whether truthful or false, will change it is simply nonsensical. I resent the suggestion I am not truthful. You might not agree with me but that is no reason to doubt my integrity. Never does everyone benefit from changes; ever.

'Jog on with your daft ideas'. Corbyn on Johnson. Got to hand it to him, at his age after 'Super Saturday' appearing at a large rally in Liverpool. He is touring large cities over the next few weeks no doubt to gear everybody up for the fight. Good old Jezza "for the few not the many".

I don't want another referendum but if one is held I suspect it will be written into the legislation which enables it that the implementation of it's result is mandated on Parliament. Holding a referendum when the consequences of the result are clear is very different to that which happened in 2016.

It's funny how certain people think that bercow is just a speaker up holding the rules. He has shown himself to be a full on "remoaner",and doing whatever he can to deny the will of 17.4 million people. Or did he go to Brussels just for a box of Belgium chocolates and a glass of beer. David Lammy and all the others that went to Brussels the other day...funded by Soros...what a surprise..not.. True moon landing conspiracy nut tripe.

The option to remain was eliminated in the original referendum. By what authority do you declare it "eliminated"? That isn't your decision. It isn't the government's. It isn't anyone's except Parliament. You can regard every MP as unintelligent if you wish but that won't stop them doing what they believe to be right. You have every right to express your opinion at the next GE, alongside everyone else. That's the ONLY authority you have.

Would you rather have an all powerful Monarch, whose will must be obeyed whatever their state of mind or personal preferences? Abandoning Parliamentary democracy in favour of the executive is the first step on a similar road, maybe not back to a totalitarian Monarchy but towards a totalitarian government. You might be frustrated by Parliament's actions but the bottom line is that they are doing it for all our interests. Yours included.

There you go again!! What about all the jobless benefit claimimg protesters outside Parliament day after day....are they not hardcore remainers??? Maybe you should reflect before making ridiculous statements like 'I see no hardcore remainers' when all you need to do is look in a mirror!! Edited by the silurian (20 Oct 2019 7.57pm) What on earth are you wittering about? The people outside Parliament almost certainly come from a variety of backgrounds, both those supporting remaining and those supporting leaving. Which has zilch to do when anything I posted. There is nothing hardcore about wanting the best for your country and it's citizens. There are plenty of strong opinions and passion on both sides.

Still your opinion only though. It has nothing to do with the detail of any "deal". It has everything to with 40 months of evaluation, discussion and explanation about the impact on the difficulties involved in untangling 40 years of membership. Not to say the unveiling of the issues in NI and the potential breakup of the UK itself. Those things were not considered by me in 2016. They are now. Not just by me but by many others.

Yes they are. How on earth do you think you know otherwise? Can you read minds? The arrogance of some "leavers" defies belief sometimes.

The current set of elected mps are in my mind and probably 17+ million others are self serving! The only reason they don't want an election is most of them will be voted out! You know this and so do they! You'll probably be in denial of this as most people who want to remain are!

I don't pretend to be able to read minds. What I am confident about is that most MPs are very much more devoted public servants than you give them credit for. Especially those who won't be seeking re-election and can express themselves freely and without any need to look over their shoulders. I have met several MPs in my time, all Tories, and all good honest people who tried to do their best. i had a good friend who was on first name terms with Michael Meacher and she thought he was a wonderful guy, totally committed to his job and not the least self interested.
