No it isn't. It's literally two sentences. Negotiate a deal that protects workers rights and environmental standards. Then put it back to the people. This is where the press have been so effective. They have convinced people that we as a population are too stupid to understand anything with more detail than 3 monosyllabic words, guffed out at us like a tourist taking a picture of some apes in a zoo. If we are as serious as we claim to be about understanding and navigating brexit (and we have a 10 million page thread on it if anyone was in doubt), surely It's incumbent on us to be informed on the nuance and detail of the situation? This election isn't just about Brexit. We have more people in in work poverty since the war. The NHS is literally being sold off to big pharma. And the Tories have their manifesto being written by a Fracking lobbyist. We can't let these c***s keep on running our country. Edited by serial thriller (31 Oct 2019 7.27am) I thought this was the remoaners stance....

Perhaps Willo will keep us informed of his door-step experiences as this turgid campaign unfolds. I plan to fill my water holder up and gently prod tory canvassers in its general direction. It will add some interest and kids love that sort of thing. Labour canvassers will be given a slap-up meal and a promise to vote for them 500 times at least. That's enough about vote rigging sure there will me many cases of that in certain areas.

The Labour party denied the will of the people as did the Liberals. Just vote Tory if you believe in democracy and close your ears to the usual fantasy and lies within the Labour manifesto. You’ve been done an absolute kipper.

But throughout my adult life, living in Beckenham and Hove, my vote was always quite irrelevant. Safe tory majorities no matter what. Ridiculous system we need change.

Still no idea where my vote will go this time.
