But in a proper university - and not just a glorified vocational college that calls itself a university - the first thing we learn is how to source and assess original material. It's like night and day. Once you have been through the modern education system, the course you may pick at uni, and the material you choose to use in your course will have been heavily influenced by the left leaning establishment that captured you at 4/5 years old. Ive noticed this with daughters, though , because we discuss politics a fair bit, they are much more balanced in their views. Their friends however are another matter... 10 minutes ago, Dave-G said: All in all I suspect uni students are a fairly resentful bunch.

Look at any 'billboard' outside a UK university you'll see it carries words to the effect that its funded by the EU, and we know the EU likes to project its own agenda.

No, just like the research funding outlined above its like speculating to accumulate. You also seem unaware that Scottish students get free tuition in Scottish unis.

pinfireman Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 From 9am -12pm next Wednesday the European Parliament will hold a big debate on the Brexit process. Curiously, the largest party in the Parliament has been allocated just one minute of the three hours of speaking time, despite making up 4% of all MEPs, and the debate being about the literal namesake of their party. Guido doubts it will be worth watching this 99.5% Remoaning winge-a-thon… Source: Guido Fawkes The Metropolitan Police have today announced there will be no further action against the Leave.EU campaign. The police said that there is insufficient evidence to justify any further criminal investigation. Campaign founder Arron Banks has demanded a public inquiry into Remainer MPs’ abuse of public office in response… Source: Guido Fawkes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 So the Lib Dem’s have now officially declared they are standing on overturning Brexit, effectively saying they back not honouring a democratic vote and ignoring the will of the electorate. I know the remain crowd will applaud this but seems like a guaranteed way to avoid getting too many votes at the next election? rapidly running out of parties to vote for, the whole things gone beyond a joke now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedge Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Since the Lim Dems traditionally pick up some protest votes, this means that they alienate any Brexit supporters who have had enough of the Tories and Labour. Very much all of their eggs in one basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 They were a nobody party before the referendum and they will be a nobody party after the next GE. Once Brexit is over with they'll be in an even worse position. Brexit is their desperate bid to try and gain a bunch of MP's by getting other remain parties to withdraw their candidates in areas that are borderline.

Walker570 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Just read the latest poll and surprise surprise the Tory's have increased their lead over Labour by 12% and they have lost ground and the Liberals are down on 12%. I think that says it all BUT also a large proportion of those canvassed who normally voted Labour said they would vote for Boris so that is where the Tory increase has come from. Interesting times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 It's funny. Politicians get blamed for not saying what they stand for, for being too prepared to twist and turn like a twisty turny thing to appeal to the electorate, for being spineless and so on. But the minute a party stands up and says, 'This is our core promise, even if it's not what lots of people believe', they get accused of deliberately scuppering their election chances. Even if you don't agree with them, at least they're consistent and they're consistent to the people who voted for them. I'm not sure you could say that about many of the other parties, particularly the big two (three including the SNP). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a fair point, but what my email will be concerned with, is asking them how they think democracy works, and that if they believe a democratic vote such as the referendum shouldn’t be honoured, then why they think that a possible GE win for the Libdems as voted for via the same process as the referendum, should be honoured?

Yes, I agree with you there. When it comes to leaving the EU on the back of a General, the only two courses of action should be to either a) get on and do it (if the Tories win, that's straightforward) or b) do another referendum, but I think that option only applies if the Lib Dems win a majority. That would give reasonable grounds to call for another referendum, given their fanatical Anti-Brexit agenda would have been voted in. But they must give the people that vote, to confirm that the majority are not longer in favour of leaving, rather than the Lib Dems winning by a combination of factors not directly connected with Brexit but still using that as an excuse to push through cancelling Article 50. Goodness knows what happens if Labour win! Edited September 15, 2019 by chrisjpainter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
