Keep delaying and delaying Brexit until many older people have passed away and younger ones have reached voting age and hey presto a second referendum will produce a different result.Cunning plan.


That has already been happening over the last three years, the polls showing 56% remain now.

Currently the majority of people do not want to leave the EU.

The polls had 'Remain' winning the last referendum.

Actually it is reflected in the recent voting as well, remain parties polled around 56%, higher than the tory/brexit leavers combined.

'The negotiations are going well'

How much longer can anyone believe this utter s****e.

Not Cummins actually who admits they are a sham.

With no negotiating team, and having withdrawn its diplomats, does it exist at-all.

I sense a little of the bravado and self confidence in the "leave at all costs" lobby both here and in the wider world ebbing away!

I also detect a return to the "slagging off" tactics that typifies so many of their arguments, which is another sign that their hopes are waning.

As I predicted, Parliament will always maintain it's supremacy over the executive and ultimately will not allow itself to be bullied into submission.

Too early to be 100% sure of that but the straws in the wind are all blowing one way.

Don't confuse boredom at arguing with the likes of yourself to any change of mind as in my own case I've got better things to do with my life than arguing with you

To gain a sense of how much certain posters are connected to reality. Anyone can go onto the Trump thread and travel back pages and read a certain poster's previous thoughts on Russian collusion and how Trump was going to be kicked out due to the Mueller report.

Some people don't know their frontside from their backside.

Of course it was a sham.

We are leaving.

You mean:

Fascists
Nazis
Xenophobes
Racists
Little Englanders
Daily Mail readers
Gammons

That kind of thing?

The "slagging off" in the other directions seems both a lot more measured and accurate:

Collaborator
Quisling
fifth columnist
Betrayer
Colluder
Traitor

Well, yes. Of course. So that those who have to deal with this mess actually get a say in it. Why should those who no longer work enforce something that will destroy opportunity on those who are about to start their working lives?

Apart from the ghoulish and unethical nature of this I'll state once again, the logic of this doesn't work.

More people would have entered into the older age brackets than would have died....People's politics are affected by age and the way the EU has behaved wouldn't have helped the remain side.

I predict no real significant change on any second vote.
