Who honestly wants more brexit, as you say? As for 'getting it done' we are looking at 7/10 years, just to distance ourself from the EU. Mmmm....I guess this election is going to answer you in a rather abrupt manner then. The actual truth is those that wish to revoke article fifty are very much the minority.....As the Lib Dems vote share will make plain to you.

At this juncture in 2017, Conservatives were further ahead in the polls than they are now. Edited by Willo (18 Nov 2019 1.27pm) Johnson isn't May thankfully.

Who honestly wants more brexit, as you say? Hardly anybody, so revoke it. As for 'getting it done' we are looking at 7/10 years, just to distance ourself from the EU. Only the 17.4 million and perhaps many more now.

Johnson is certainly getting the labour message. 6 billions of tax cuts for the rich shelved. Must be rattled. Still the Queen and Trump are weighing in to help soon.
£6 Bill would have been the cost of the reduced Corporation Tax from 19% to 17%, a tax that this Government has reduced from 28%.

I don't see the Greens adding any more to their single MP representation as their votes tend to be well spread across the country but never enough in any single constituency to win them a seat. The exception is Brighton which is where the oddballs live and they are happy to vote in a Green MP despite the Green local council making such a mess of running Brighton and I say that in the knowledge that my own daughter is a prospective Green councillor I'm sure she is one of the sensible and competent ones.

But a Revoke stance is perhaps at least the more honest one than a farce of a second referendum which is effectively nothing more than a Reman v Remain choice. However, if the Labour Party had a shred of decency it would simply have said the British voted to Leave and that is what we are still backing. But it did not. And hopefully will get its arse handed to it by way of the public showing their disgust with them.

Typical BBC response to the Tories pledge not to cut taxes so they can fund the NHS. "But many economists said the cut - which ministers were signalling would still go ahead earlier this month - would be potentially counter-productive, with a study based on HMRC data last year suggesting it could mean £6bn a year in lost government revenues." So the Tories get criticised for promising tax cuts and now get criticised for not cutting taxes.

In the street large skips for recyclables and stuff for the tip - gets emptied every day.
