But my guess is both UKIP and The Brexit party will both have candidates. I have voted Conservatives since I could vote apart from European elections. Conservatives normally win here but our MP is a remainer, but also a Democrat and supports the ref result, he has been pretty truthful with me in correspondence. But if they do not deliver Brexit then Conservatives will never get my vote again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They stood on a lie to the people voting for them. Simple solution- they field a different candidate who says “ I’m ashamed of how my Party behaves and if elected I will see to it that this will be reversed “ etc Voter goes “ oh that’s wonderful, didn’t want to vote for ‘x’, but you seem a decent person, so I will vote for you” You have to remember, it’s their ‘Train set’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Moggy said an interesting thing earlier admitting that he had not seen Brexit as a process and maybe if all is not available day one then it becomes work in progress (or something like that).Maybe that's a good way to look at it. Do what we have to to fulfill the mandate and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12gauge82 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I know a lot of politically active people from some of the S. Wales Valleys, it is the first time I've heard some of them say they will no longer be voting Labour due to Brexit, which I found very interesting. I genuinely think there will be a major upset at the next GE, even if the Cons or Labour still get in this time, I believe the stage may be set for a polar shift in the political landscape.

The shift is precisely Con and Labs own doing. If/when it happens, they will be as gobsmacked as they were the day after the referendum when the unthinkable happened.

Christ, if the product was put at a correct price when bought from the farmers they wouldn't need subs, also the subs are bent to hell to line large land owners pockets.. So thats a non argument you have. Dyson gets money and last time I checked you don't farm vacuums.... There's all sorts of money and grants flying around from both government and the EU but I still don't get what that has to do with subsidies to farmers. There are also tax offsets you can apply based on R&D but again that's not really relevant to farming. I don't have an argument other than suggesting that not all farmers are pro Brexit.

Scully Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I’ve voted Conservative ever since I was eligible.....and despite being undecided which way to go next time, they’ll never get my vote again. 32 minutes ago, Newbie to this said: I have voted Conservatives since I could vote.

Wouldn’t that depend on whether his constituency voted him in on the strength of his EU convictions? I can understand it if he lied to his constituents about his allegiances to the EU. Did he? Or did his constituents vote for him despite knowing his EU scepticism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 The Government has rejected a petition calling for Brexit to be stopped, which has gathered more than 5.75 million signatures. The Department for Exiting the EU said: "It remains the Government's firm policy not to revoke Article 50. We will honour the outcome of the 2016 referendum and work to deliver an exit which benefits everyone, whether they voted to Leave or to Remain. "Revoking Article 50, and thereby remaining in the European Union, would undermine both our democracy and the trust that millions of voters have placed in Government.
