What's Owen smith up to?

Didn't Ireland reject the Lisbon Treaty by referendum but vote in favour after it was changed?

 

Can't see it happening with Brexit. We can't negotiate until Article 50 is triggered and we can't undo Article 50 once triggered. Or can we??

Guess so. With the police on stand-by.

 

That "Or can we?" Really needed a few chords of "suspense" music to go with it.

 

Mods, can we please have a "Dah. Dah. Daaaaaah" emoji

What a splendid idea. If it replaces that idiotic dancing banana then SOOO much the better!

In principle. Wouldn't some feel aggrieved that effectively the referendum of 23rd June has been ignored?

 

It hasn't been ignored it's been re-visited with more information.

Hence I'm cross. It's an excuse to rerun the referendum in the hope of getting the "right" answer.

 

Not at all, it's a chance to have a say when the consequences (good or bad) become clear. Seems completely sensible to me.

Would everyone see it that way? How many times have you told someone the first wasn't legally binding, seen their bottom lip hit the floor and then watch them huff and puff that if The Establishment even DARES to ignore the DEMOCRACY of the PEOPLE they will! They will...they'll!

 

Then they run out of steam.

 

It's amusing.

Then they realise they would have to stand up for their convictions. Then like most of us think, sod it, I'll have a cuppa and sort it another time.

Right. Let's keep voting until we vote to stay in, then stop. No thanks.

The people who voted for Brexit also voted for Mrs Browns Boys as comedy of the century... need I say more?

 

They voted for an Irish transvestite as their favourite comedian, shows all that stuff about being racist and intolerant was a load of rubbish doesn't it.

Racists don't have the cognitive ability to be racist to multiple ethnic groups at once. Kinda like an elderly person eating peas. One at a time

That almost sounds like you have a feeling the terms negotiated are going to be far worse than we have already.

 

It seems like what you're really saying is that you're all for democracy, as long as it goes your way?
