El Cid Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I think that's very optimistic, but if you think the the lib dems are going ride to a general election victory (as they're the only proper pro eu party around) or forge a coalition with the snp, now is the time to make the bet - remember Leicester! Libdems are 33-1 to win the most seats, UKIP are on 25-1. I think they have a valid argument, but since the Tories are in control, they will take the credit or blame when they force it through.

apelike Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Given the strength of feeling against the brexit result I suspect that any party with a manifesto to not leave would give the conservatives a kicking in an election. Considering a GE will not take place until after we have left it wont make a blind bit of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillm Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Interesting that according to some newspaper can't remember which the libdems and SSP are increasing their membership to their highest levels ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 i I disagree as I believe there is still a majority that wish to leave. And a massive majority of those who honestly accept the referendum result and want the government to act upon it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelFargate Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 As I suspected, as we move towards a clean Brexit, our EU neighbours will start offering alternative 'solutions' which would effectively amount to a phoney or non-Brexit. First out of the block is the German finance minister, who is advocating the Swiss model as a 'wise' alternative for the UK. This model would require is to pay huge amounts into the EU budget, force us to accept the rulings of the ECJ and also free movement, in return for access to the single European market. Is he joking? I don't think so. He has obviously not listened to what May said in her speech last week.

Obelix Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Europe is more intolerant then Britain, look at how they go off about the refugees. = http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/10061025/Worlds-most-racially-intolerant-countries-mapped.html Britain doesn't need people who decide to bail out at the first sign of troubled times, we need people with a stiff upper lip ready to face any challenges. You make the mistake of assuming my loyalties lie with the UK and not with Europe... I don't consider this troubled times. I think they are far worse than merely troubled times. Why don't you do one to Europe if you love it so much? Remoaners like you are traitors who want to bend over to the will of the EU superstate. You spout tolerance, and then you come out with claptrap like that... sigh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
