Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[Deleted member 16999]

Having, in the past, been a member of both parties (not anymore) I do like the way that you support the man who has turned many supporters off voting Labour. Unfortunately all 4 main parties in the commons have turned into extreme organizations.

I’m not supporting the man, I can’t stand him and want him gone, I do support the Labour Party though, I can see past Corbyn and support the policies.

Or as many live in houses/flats etc, they will have received a registration form through the letter box.

How many these get lost with all the junk that comes through the post

Younger generation take more notice of websites than most print

World's changing

Doesn't cost anything to put that article up there

Still send it all out as normal

Like I said if it reaches just 5 more people it's a good thing

With you here Paul

Corbyn isnt a leader , I do respect how he seems to be the only mp who always sticks to his guns about things. But he isn't a leader at all

I love that the BBC web site has an article on how to register to vote. Really? It isn't that difficult.

They are a public service braodcaster, it is part of their remit to 'educate and inform'. It's not the worst crime is it?

What I find funny is that Corbyn was elected by a Democratic vote of Labour members, (and all those tories who thought it hilarious to join the Labour Party to vote for him) I voted for Andy Burnham, now, just like the Brexit vote I respect the result, people go mad on here about Democracy and respecting it even when you don’t get the result you wanted.
So I’m not going to turn away from Labour because “I” lost.

If you can't see the difference between a private organization and a public wide GE then there's nothing I can really counter with.

A "private organisation" sums up team tory perfectly 😉 ...

The world is changing for sure...

Not always necessarily for the better...

Certainly I'd be, in light of recent 'fake news' stories, highly distrusting of any political message on social media sites...

Why now? Why not before the refendum, or the last GE, or the one before that?

I have spent the last 4 months trying to convince Bournemouth that I can't register there. It is harder to not be registered than it is to register.
If I remember rightly, when you reach 18 you get a letter telling you to register, and how to.

That's why twitter are banning political adverts

They do it every time? Just will be higher up the hit list ATM

Why now, because it is as topical as it can be. I am sure they will have done it for the referendum and the last GE as well.

You actually get a letter a few months after your 17th birthday, I know because my daughter has just had one, but people move around, they don't fill it in etc.

I agree that it is simple to register but I don't see any harm in the BBC putting a link up and as I mentioned that is part of their role.

All social media should .. but must be bloody hard to police unless people report it directly

I believe it was political adverts like posts by MPs and adverts by the parties will be banned

I'll find the article

No , you can go on the electoral register at 16.

Pushing 'the proverbial' up a hill trying to keep the two topics separate!

This election is ONLY ABOUT BREXIT currently!

And a gamble by BoJo to get a sufficient majority to get it through (one way or another) before actually gettiing on with 'his program'!

Btw. The fact that UK hasn't really suffered while Government has been focused pretty much 100% on Brexit does seem to suggest significant savings could be made by scrapping Westminster and using something along the lines of The Civil Service to run the country (as it does now) using referendums to amend policy!

Just waiting for the “Russian collusion” or “George Soros interference” in the media afterwards.

But unfortunately not politicians spreading their lies on it.
