Elections take place regularly. That is the nature of democracy. Decisions are not static and strategy has to evolve with learning. Read your Minzberg.

Don’t personally insult me.

It wasn't an election though. It was a Referendum with a simple 'Should we stay in the EU Yes or No' Type question even a f***ing dimwit like me understood what it meant. What part didn't you understand ??

Yep....all that, 'we go high when they go low' lasted for all of zero minutes for about eighty percent of them once they lost.

I can remember being told I was 'swiveled eyed' over the EU on here before the referendum......But in all honestly, if you look on this thread the left's eyes have been moving as fast as Oprah looking for lunch.

I think you have far too much faith in the EU if you think that staying within that is some kind of safe bet.

By leaving the EU we reduce our liability to its folding down to below five percent of GDP.

There will be an adjustment that's for sure, some better and some worse......You're just apart of the fear mongering on the remain side.

No doubt you will be nowhere to be seen once your predictions are shown to be significantly over the top.

Like many others.

Democracy will either win here or it won't.

not talking about staying in the EU, but leaving - that is what is happening, that's the here and now. THere is uncertainty - Fact, our currency is weak - Fact, big companies have expressed concern and are reluctant to invest. Not scaremongering, but facts.

Maybe someone can explain how a no deal Brexit is a benefit based on facts?

You can't talk about facts over a situation which hasn't developed. No one can say with certainty how successful Brexit will or won't be.....it's conjecture based upon their own prejudices. In truth you'd need to give it a time span and then look at it....say ten years.

But to answer your question, (because unlike so many on the left I answer questions) a no deal Brexit means the UK can compete with the EU....for example become a tax haven.

I wouldn't say I'd advocate for a no deal as my first choice because it's more initially disruptive but I'd be serious about carrying it out.

To negotiate with the EU without being deadly serious over a no deal is low IQ.....and that's been the position of Labour.....I know in reality they aren't stupid but that's what they have sold to the public...which means they think the public is stupid.

And people wonder why they get criticised over Business.

Why does a second vote worry you? Apparently we follow the will of the people. If that is still leave you get your way. If it is not you aren’t sticking to the rules.

Will of the people? Yes please, I'll have what I voted for thank you very much.

Do you honestly think we would have another vote if it was the other way around?
NO.

So go away and enjoy wages going up.

Who says the people want a second referendum? No doubt you can produce a poll that states this well opinion polls are like noses we all have one.

The only way we should have a 2nd referendum would be this scenario:

1. May fails to get Brexit deal through Parliament and calls a GE.
2. Labour changes its policy and tell the voters we will put another referendum to the people.
3. Labour is the largest party and forms the government.

Then of course it would have to be clear what we are voting on, the terms of the deal? A re-run of the 2016 referendum? A multiple choice?

That would be a democratic process for a 2nd referendum. Anything else is just moaning by people who lost.

No those are things you have written then put the fact at the end

House prices going down will be coupled with interest rate hikes, inflation is already growing, mainly due to weak currency, brexit will worsen that.

There may be wage inflation in unskilled sectors but not in the main and won't keep up with inflation

Be a Tax haven? That's regressive

I would have thought there would be a post brexit blueprint about where we go and where we see our economy in 1, 5 and 10 years, but there's nothing. Just chaos. And people such as yourself who just hold out hope that everything will be alright on the night

Here Pussy I agree with you. This has been the most disappointing aspect of Brexit the lack of vision over what next.

Some people are pushing for a low tax regime but in practice that means we would have to massively reduce benefits / state spending which I am not sure people would accept.

My own preference is for something less ambitious to start with.

- Reduce red tape, caused by the EU, for companies that do not export.
- Give more power to National Assemblies and regional areas e.g. Northern Powerhouse
- Re-build our fishing fleet in conjunction with reviving our ailing seaside towns.
- Produce a plan for the countryside / farmers to replace the CAP.
- Reduce VAT (regressive tax) when it is affordable.
- Reimagine Corporate tax (Internet giants) and Business Rates to make both fairer.
- Simplify the tax system and reduce the amount of tax loopholes.
- Make the UK a great place for business to invest.

Nothing glamorous here but essentially an agenda to make the UK a fairer place to live.

Could almost be reading the labour manifesto (!)
