Labour big win over universal credit but Mrs May will proceed regardless as it is advisory not binding. So the votes do not matter. So why does the leave vote matter so much as it is also advisory not binding?

So in the last few days I've been called a Communist and a Fascist. Corbyn was right. Labour are the new centre ground. Now the EU. Can anyone make everyone feel confident about the current s*** shower of a strong and stable Brexit? Not nice when people make insinuations and call you names is it.

Oh dear. Now back to the EU. Hrolf, how would you persuade someone who is a bit reticent about Brexit, because basically it's a s***storm of w***ery performed by cockwomble incompetents which has lead us to being the laughing stock of the world, that things will turn out well? I don't need to. I never expected a smooth ride. You clearly don't undertand how negotiation works or that leaving Europe is worth the pain. Your opinion is worthless anyway. You would agree with the Labout position no matter what it was. You are a party man. Sad but true.

Democracy is limited. We need more say on how Brexit happens. We need more say on most things. Posted this yesterday but it's worth reading IMO and discussing. While Brexit is happening it's not happening in a way that reflects the will of the people or our best interests.

So what people want from a deal and the concerns of citizens and business is superfluous? The government should just be allowed to tear themselves apart and throw away any opportunities for a better country we might have and just stand to the side and watch on tight lipped? That's a load of rubbish. People should be standing up at every stage and not letting the government simply ride roughshod over our rights and futures and create a society that's worse off and less equal. This isn't about accepting or not the referendum result. It's about making sure what we want to achieve following that result is listened to and acted upon. Brexit is not a mandate for the government to ignore us (100% of the population not 52/48%). The discussions before a deal are massively important if you care about the contents of that deal. It's much better to be heard now and get that included in the deal and make sure the deal is as good as possible and society better of as a result than moan about it once the deal is a bad one. Brexit is no guaranteed success!
