apelike Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Or maybe the government had overwhelming support and could push things through without a need to consult the electorate... Can't be that as in the debates in parliament in 1971/1972 the act enabling us to join only just scraped through. First reading a majority of 112 Second reading a majority of 8 Third reading a majority of 17 Not very overwhelming and the government were warned that the populace at large didn't want it.

Now who was it that was saying a majority is a majority... Although the sentiment is similar to the brexit vote - small majority and the populace at large don't want it...

RJRB Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 So whether pro or anti did you find words of comfort in Mays aspirational speech. I cannot say that I did. Much recognition of the benefits of the single market and customs union.......but we are ditching these whilst we pursue a special and lasting relationship with Europe. Even though it will damage our economy. I cannot see anything there to cheer me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 So what do people think about Mays "hard facts"? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43250035 This bit popped out at me Associate membership of EU medicines, chemical and aviation agencies, accepting their rules and making "appropriate" financial contributions so we will still be accepting certain EU rules and paying the EU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litotes Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just showing that there was not the overwhelming support you seem to think it was. Maybe adverb adverb: maybe 1. perhaps; possibly. "maybe I won't go back" synonyms: perhaps, possibly, conceivably, it could be (that), it is possible (that), for all one knows; More Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogey Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Obviously you are uneducated as well as I put a dictionary link to it, you need to get out more and stop being a sheep.
