Whilst accepting the result of the referendum, the lot carrying it through don't fill me with much confidence. No plans as yet for a no Deal scenario. Mind we're only a few months in!

Of course Lenin, Stalin and Mao were sincere communists. They implemented textbook Marxist ideas; all means of production, distribution and exchange in the hands of the state and the dictatorship of the proletariat (ie: government by terror). They sincerely believed the lunatic ideas of Marx would actually work. Of course as it became increasing clear that communism did not work, they increased the terror. Edited by hedgehog50 (15 Mar 2017 3.49pm) I think this is where we differ, I think they believed they could utilise concepts from Marx to build their own new world, in which they would usher in a new world forged in their image, at any cost (in human life and misery) and that this had to occur 'immediately', and without question.

Surely you accept that they abolished capitalism under their regimes and implemented communist economics and policies.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

If Article 50 is not signed that will save the union. An election should be called on that basis that it was necessary to save the union. Still a tory win people are dreading brexit but cannot admit it. Yet more tories we can't have everything.

Still a tory win people are dreading brexit but cannot admit it. Yet more tories we can't have everything. Article 50 will be invoked. There will not be a General Election. You are lumbered with a Conservative government until 2020 at the earliest so you're just going to have to conjour up some other hopeless cause to talk bollocks about.

Be ironic if UKIP were ultimately behind the break up of the United Kingdom.

I think that's true of some of their members, particually the founders, but it seems in recent years they've been expanding out from the UK Independence from Europe, into a wider political spectrum. But arguably, yes, job done, and I think that's why their head man stepped down (again). I think feasibly its 'job done' for him (regardless of the fall out). I suspect they'll struggle now, Farage's charisma and political savy was quite extensive. Whether the new leadership can manage to replicate that is a big ask.
