The Brexit Thread

[Rosaudio]

You realise Chris bases his opinion on a few weeks holiday in England and what he reads in the Daily Mail, Twitter and Facebook (and maybe even forums like Stormfront)?

Johnson's tenure as mayor predates his holiday visit

Oh, does he not even live in the UK?

Is he one of those who puts on a fake British accent and wears a top-hat?

Chris is an Australian with a rich daddy who happens to live in Constantia, Cape Town, he seems to think this somehow makes him a clone of Jacob Rees Mogg.

He has had two holidays in the UK iirc, which is what makes him an expert on all things British .

Looks like we could be getting a coalition government. Labour + Lib Dems + SNP.

I think that's highly unlikely.

Highly unlikely. I think the Tories have this. Brexit Party seems to have imploded

Went to see if anything was on the BBC about this and came across this unfortunate headline for "Johnson".

The Tories have less than 50%. Neither Labour nor Lib Dems will form a coalition with them, but they'd form a coalition with each other.

It doesn't quite work that way. It's number of seats , not % of vote. You can win a majority with less than 35%. Probably less than 30% as well

Farage isn't very clever, when he set up his new limited company that masquerades as a political party he forgot to buy the .com website, now Led by Donkeys owns it and have offered it to him for £1million (all proceeds to go to the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants) .

Farage wants to sue us. And he's using EU law to do it 🤦‍♀️

He’s after this website. He can have it ... for a million quid (goes up £50k/day).

Why do you keep saying Liebour like it’s an insult, when the biggest liar in the country is your hero?

It's even possible to get more votes, but less seats. It's happened at least once in the last century.

The greatest thing to come from this fiasco, is the Brexit Party is citing EU law to claim that website domain.

Yes, the Brexit Party is looking to the evil EU to help it.

This should be used as an example to define Irony in every dictionary.

This is just next level remoaner nonsense.
You do understand that Brexit didn't happen yet, right?

They still all have to play by the rules of the game.

All they need to do is protract the argument out until Brexit and then Farage has no legs to stand on.

Funny how when it suits him the evil EU can be useful?

Might as well take advantage while the laws are still around

if real brexit ever happens, his party will have no reason to exist, you honestly think they'll give a toss about a domain name then?!?

if faux brexit happens, the same laws will still apply and it is perfectly fine to try and leverage them to your benefit

If you think I am serious about what happens with the Brexit Party, outside of the massive irony of them using EU Law to get a domain name, well I have a few things I would like to sell you.

meh, I'm even less interested in it than you are, but then you keep insisting it is ironic when it clearly is not

it's exactly the same as the faux outrage when Farage kept collecting his EU parly salary while campaigning to exit: you can oppose something and exploit the continued existence of that something at the same time, no irony involved, just shrewdness

Nigel Farage didn't think it through when he launched the The Brexit Party Company (LTD) manifesto.

In his manifesto, promoted as a "contract with the people, Farage made a commitment to hold a referendum on any issue if five million people call for a vote.

He has branded the proposals a "Citizens' Initiatives".

It means that a variety of topics could be put to the British public, which given more than 16 million backed Remain, could allow for a second referendum.

New proposal from Nigel Farage would open the doors for a second referendum on Brexit

Nigel Farage would be most likely forced to back a second Brexit referendum if his organisation won an election - because of his latest...

"Does a commitment to referendums if more than 5 million want one mean that Nigel Farage is inadvertently opening the way to a second in/out EU referendum?" asked the Telegraph's Christopher Hope.
