Gordon R Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) The results of tomorrow's elections might well turn a trickle into a flood. Roll on Friday. Edited May 22, 2019 by Gordon R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of feel a bit sorry for her, despite her incompetence, but she really has to go. Hopefully her replacement will steer the ship with a better hand. You had female correct but not Mrs May. Having said that, twenty minutes to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I hadn't paid attention to the date of the results - very careless. Roll on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, Typical EU obfuscation where they can tweak a bit here and there to better manage an overall results then, a bit like washing the car and taking a photo of it three days later after all sorts of stuff drops on it. I can imagine 'they' are worried some sheep will follow what they perceive to be a winning vote - but it smacks of allowing time to fettle results IMO.

mick miller Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just a thought... If mainly euro sceptic parties win an overwhelming majority of seats in the EU Parliament, would it be worth staying in? If the ship can be steered onto a new, less hand wringingly oooman rights direction they could re-imagine the whole project from the ground up.

Great - except the parliament has no power, it's just an illusion of democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on, no one really believes that even in the unlikely event of a majority of Eurosceptics in the EU parliament, the direction of the bloc would change. The parliament is there for show, and nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, all the bloc has to do is not push anything through for a while. The commission has a long history of simply doing what it wants, and the parliament can only ratify new things, it cannot propose a single thing. Look at for example the way our A50 extensions were handled, 27 unanimous votes , twice, really ? I cant prove it, but I dont believe there was a vote, because I dont believe it would have been successful, plus the rhetoric coming out of Brussels gave a yay to to it before we had even asked them ! So to think the MEPs could somehow hold Junker et al hostage is not realistic, they would just circumvent the parliament somehow, maybe dissolve them using some sub clause within one of their treaties, I would put NOTHING past them. They have plenty of history on doing stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie to this Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) See this earlier, it's a complete and utter disgrace. How can anyone think this is acceptable is beyond me. I took part in a poll by the money saving expert guy, Martin Lewis and it finished 54% think it is acceptable to do this! What sort of world do we live in where people think the use of intimidation and violence is an acceptable means to express your political will or more to the point try to suppress others political will. Didn't see the bit about acid just the veteran that was assaulted for supporting a different political party. 13 minutes ago, Rewulf said: Edited May 23, 2019 by Newbie to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly this is the way Corbyn's left wing "Momentum" movement think is the correct way to behave like previous "national socialist" organisations.

12gauge82 Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Absaloutly discussed by this, unfortunately though I'm not surprised, these are the same people trying to block the largest democratic vote in our country's history, a bit of violence or intimidation was never going to be beyond people like that.
