Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[bluewolf]

Do you vote for the constituency candidate or the prime minister?

Stop playing games. You knew who was PM when you voted. You can't complain about it after the fact. Respect the result of the democratic vote and just get over it...

😉

By the way, the smilie indicates a little (tiny) bit of humour.

Hold on a minute ....... I'm a Brexiteer!!

Isnt the amount of prevarication over the past 2 and a half years, and the rubbishness of the outcome sufficient evidence for you?

To me that is evidence of the stupidity of holding a referendum without fully thinking through the ramifications and not doing sufficient planning for both outcomes. Not evidence of the fact that the PM has deliberately been trying to sabotage us leaving.

And no evidence that she hasn't 😁

Yes. Quite ironic really 👍😂

But what happens if your candidate doesn't get elected?

I just wish that the remainers would do the same!

Based on recent evidence you bawl and stamp your feet!

 

[bluewolf]

Right. I'm going to say it.
It was a joke. Based on the oft heard cry from Leavers that Remainers should respect the vote etc. It was ironic. I apologise from the very bottom of my heart that it was misunderstood. I'll now find a dark corner and self flagellate until the time of Brexit heaven is at hand!!!

You ask for another vote because you didn't get the result you wanted😂

Oooh, touched a nerve?

 

[SocketRocket]

Did you vote Tory at the last GE? If the answer is yes, then technically you put her in charge. And Tory means Tory, and you've got to respect the result of the democratic process etc etc 😉

But we voted for what was in her manifesto and her statements and red lines. That's not what she has delivered in this very poor deal for the UK.

 

[bluewolf]

Not in the slightest, no. It's just unfortunate that the humour didn't translate for some reason. I'll try harder next time 👍

Maybe you should ask for a 2nd vote?

In all honesty, as I've said for a long time. There is no good deal to be had. It was always, ALWAYS going to be No Deal vs a Bad Deal. This cannot be a surprise to anyone, can it?

 

[SocketRocket]

Maybe I remember it wrong, but wasn't she PM before the GE. Seems a bit strange to complain about something you knew was already in place before you voted. A bit like moving next to an airport and then complaining about the noise of the planes...

It's more like a union official telling the workforce he has negotiated a great wage deal for them and not to worry that they now have to pay the company to work for them.

Only if you believe a No Deal has to be a bad deal. a free trade agreement would be a good deal if it was on offer with no further strings, but it's not is it.

Reality is hitting home, we can all have dreams ... I dream of eating donuts and never getting fat .. but reality is a cruel mistress

I get your point there.
I dream of being in the EU without being shafted. Same reality, same cruel mistress.

No, and it never was on offer. It was never going to be on offer. As I said previously, both sides had red lines. They didn't match in the slightest. So, either one side would have to significantly compromise their position, or it was No Deal.

If this is news to anyone then I'm surprised as it's been quite clear. If there is a Good Deal, then why has not one single leading Brexiteer come up with it?

We wouldn’t have been shafted had Farage not taken his role seriously and also the other wasters ... not to mention all the Tory prime ministers who talked tough but in reality were not honest enough to say or guide the MEP representatives to vote on the issues
