The Consequences of Brexit [part 4]

[ricgem2002]

The question you were asked was 'What's good about Brexit?'

You haven't answered it at all.

The first half is all 'has the sky fallen in?' - doesn't say what's good about Brexit.

The second half is a load of cobblers. So be a love and try agin would you?

 

What's so good about Brexit?

no you tell me whats bad about it :hihi:

Yes, 17 million did.

 

However 29 million (31 million if you count 16-18 year olds) did not vote for it, so whichever way you look at it, the vast majority of people in the UK do not support this nonsense which is why it will either be abandoned or more likely we will sign up to so many EU/ECJ bodies just to keep things running, that we might as well have not triggered Article 50.

 

Yes, a few Brextremists will scream and shout but the majority of people will see the compromise as the only way to stop the UK falling into a great big hole!

the people who voted to leave won the rest is history get used to it and move on :hihi:

Why did the remain voters not vote ? Too lazy ?, thought it was a foregone conclusion that we would remain ?

As they say in the House of Commons "I refer my honourable friend to every single credible economic forecast over the past three years which predicts at best disaster to at worst, an economic meltdown from which we may never recover."

 

Given that in both those scenarios it is the poor who will suffer disproportionately and the rich, as usual, will just up sticks and take their wealth elsewhere, I would say there is a lot bad about it.

It's a good job for the remainers the 31 million did not vote otherwise the remoaners would have been left at the wayside.

 

After the way the EU has threatened and tried to blackmail the UK some of those who voted remain will have changed their views.

My daughter was not too lazy as you put it. At the age of 17, she was just too young. There are many like her in the 16 - 18 bracket who wanted to stay in but were not allowed a say on something that will affect them long after we are pushing up the daisies

 

Still, 2 years have gone by and I can't see any change in their feelings. In fact, given to total mess made of Brexit by the older generation did you really expect a sudden change?

"Which we may never recover" And remainers wonder why some people don't believe them and accuse them of scaremongering

march next year will see a shift in the way the eu operates they are trying to frighten a country not afraid to fight (remember 2 world wars) against a european country. they are afraid that the house of cards will come tumbling down so are trying to scare us into submission let me tell you it wont work

 

You've seen Teresa may right? She looked petrified in an interview on The One Show.

Wow , top quality straw clutching there

[tinfoilhat]

Wow , top quality straw clutching there

 

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought she was our prime minister, you know the one ultimately responsible for brexit.

 

I don't know if you've noticed but SHE'S A ******* LIABILITY.

It's a good job for the remainers the 31 million did not vote otherwise the remoaners would have been left at the wayside.

 

Except that every survey of those who didn't vote (for whatever reason) had 60-70% in favour of remaining in the EU, and 85-90% of those 16-18year olds who were prevented from voting.

 

Anyway, that is now ancient history.

 

In June 2018 there is a clear majority in favour of remaining so those Brextremists who shout 'We won the vote" and "Respect the will of the People" are in the minority now, and will be increasingly so as time goes on.
