Albert the Cat Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I want my tax cut for the 40% bracket. Should have kept his promise by moving it to £80k. But still hopeful that the Tories can do something for us once welfare is rightfully cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, the sky won't fall when we Leave the EU club. Take back control!!! From who? Not the EU surely, we all know the aristocracy and rich run this country irrespective of whether we are in or out of the EU. All voters for Brexit will be regretting it in the years to come, when they realise life out of the EU hasn't got any better but worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Many knew it would end badly for the Remainers when they rejected the democratic wishes of 17.4million voters. Now Remain has been utterly rejected at the ballot box. But I don't feel victorious, I feel a sense of sadness that it had to end like this.

In the meantime... it was democracy in action where people voted for what they wanted. Err, not quite: pro-Brexit parties (Tories, BxP, DUP) gained less of the total vote, in proportion, relative to 2nd Ref/Anti-Brexit parties (Lab, LD, SNP, Greens). Prof. Curtice calculated it as 48% to 52% respectively, and the irony is delicious of course. It's more the case, that the FPTP system decided again. So, now that Johnson has got his big majority, let's see if he can switch off the electioneering mode he's been in since getting into no.10 this summer, and try governing instead. In the meantime, Northern voters can look forward to the consequences of governance by Cummings, Patel, Raab, (etc). LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters who are already today saying it's everyone else's fault except theirs. The Tories are going to have a free ride for years whilst people try to wrest the labour party back from his supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we didn't Leave when we should have, more people have voted for the Tories this time. Remainers in their twisted desire to thwart democracy have delivered Boris for another 5 years. Yes but I bet a lot of people who were Labour voters but wanted Brexit voted for the Tories, look at Bolsover for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
