General Discussion
@Vicks - agree about the closest vote. It wasn't deliberate cherry picking on my part rather that because of the antagonism towards a 2nd referendum/confirmatory vote it was that issue that was to the forefront of my mind and was notable because of the number of votes (the most) the idea received when put to MPs. So........how about a confirmatory vote on there being a UK wide customs union ...
I really do not know now. I have voted Conservative in the past, but might have considered voting Labour now if Jeremy Corbyn was not the leader. I remember the middle to late 1970s so I can not put my cross to his party. If we did not have a reasonable Independent candidate, I would look for something like Screaming Lord Sutch, or spoil my vote, unless political parties change very radically by ...
@Lynne to be fair, the closest vote was "Customs Union" - 8, compared to 27 in the confirmatory vote. One should look at the whole picture, and not cherry pick a la Anna Soubry. By the way, interesting to see that she is against a General Election bearing in mind that her constituency voted Leave, and would then most likely lose her seat.
Rather be a Remaniac than a Brexidiot lol I have my flag ready for tomorrows National Feck Brexit Day
Then there are those who, conversely, believe the EU to be a bastion of neo-liberalism.
Communism
Here we go, we've all been looking forward to this for ages. Who's got a street party celebrating our FREEDOM from communism? Oh, hang on a minute. I forgot, the remainiacs have ruinned it for us all.
You are right we would have remained but the pressure to have another referendum because the vote was 52-48 and non-binding would have been on the PM and government constantly.
If Remain had won that would have been it, we would stay in the EU. Leavers would have no doubt continued arguing the case to quit the EU, but parliament certainly would not have spent three years trying to accommodate the losing side. Do you seriously think we would have only half-remained because it was a close result?
No, I was answering your question " Do you think if Remain had won that we would have argued for three years to try to accommodate the losing side?" and providing evidence why I think there would have been a fight from the leavers.
