I’m waiting to find out what you all think about unfettered immigration with automation around the corner. I wonder which way the employees of JLR, Tesla, Philips, Hitachi etc who all lost jobs in the last week would vote? Cos they would need that unicorn pretty quickly

With respect its a bit rich accusing labour of personal interest when your friends in the Tory party have done exactly that, Boris only has eyes on No10 and the other toffs care only for their hedge funds People on both sides agree they have made a complete pigs ear of Brexit and should be removed from power With respect, I never mentioned about "Personal interest". I mentioned "Personal reasons" with respect to the fact that many are ardent remainers and for this reason wish to thwart Brexit and go against the will of the majority who voted to leave.And of course there are Conservatives who come into this category. Labour are playing political games and would have voted down ANY deal that Theresa May had brought to Parliament.Labour have NO alternative plan and cannot even say if at a General Election they would be the party of Brexit or not.All we hear is "Consider all options" etc etc and all those mealy-mouthed phrases. My views on this are patently clear.I tend to not even view any of the threads on this forum as I already have a hectic political life outside of HOL so perhaps it is time that I bow out for a while !

Sovereign in holding the exec to account, yes. Trying to stop a no deal exit is beyond me. They don't like the deal, they don't like no deal and demand a Plan B while enjoying little consensus between them.

I agree with Corbyn's stance, No deal would be damaging to the country. Just like in the EU negotiation she doesn't hold all the cards, in fact, in this instance I don't think she has any So where was he when she said no deal is better than a bad deal.

To ask for politicians to unite behind her is like asking them to commit suicide. The would only be guilty by association.

Putting article 50 back a few months or a 2nd referendum is the only way forward.

I don't agree about worst PM because she's the lamb to the slaughter, Brexit was always going to be a disaster although she did get her election campaign completely wrong I used to think Gordon Brown was the worst PM but since then I realised with hindsight he was spot on about blocking an EU referendum

Just has 'walking into disaster' written all over her face. Could easily crash the economy and the EU relationship to get her place in history IMO.

She said what I quoted her as saying and that's in the actual text on the webpage. I've stated the truth on the EU attitude towards the nation state and you are either in denial or trying to obfuscate. Edited by Stirlingsays (20 Jan 2019 12.31pm) Oh, I read it but it seems that you cannot have read it all because your quote is not 100% correct and is well out of context. Context is essential if you are going to ascertain the true meaning. She went on to say "that Germany had given up part of its sovereign rights to the European Union. "But the states are the masters of the treaties. This requires always the backing and the decision of the national parliament. The heart of democracy is parliament"". Which is pretty much what I was arguing! Merkel speaks for herself and not the EU, who could not force us to give up anything. We could decide to compromise and co-operate but that is a very different matter.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

You said, and I quote, 'I think this idea that the EU wants to destroy the nation state is garbage.' Well I give you two accurate quotes that talk precisely about the transfer of sovereignty from a nation state to a collective and here you are disingenuously claiming that there is some difference due to context....piffle....What she went on to say made no difference to her statement of wanting more transfer of power. As for the leader of Germany, 'just talking for herself'.....Is that so?....So the German control of Europe is imaginary is it? Along with France and that stickleback Macron those two countries constituent the driving force of the project. The Euro is in affect the Mark and the whole project has benefited Germany far more than any other state. Edited by Stirlingsays (20 Jan 2019 6.06pm)
