And then what will happen next........let’s see whose prediction is the closest. Perhaps let this thread run about 2 weeks and see who got it right, or nearly right.
Programme called 'This week' on most Thursdays straight after Question time. This comment was made pretty much at the beginning and you will find it on iplayer.
Agree re Cameron but if T Blair had done the same as all other EU leaders and not allowed an immediate mass immigration of so many other Europeans into the UK years ago then a lot of people might not have voted to leave in the first place. As for what might happen in the future it's anybody's guess but lets face it who would want TM's job? Not Boris, not JC. How does that woman keep going???
I watched a programme last night with people whose political knowledge I respect hugely. Their thought was that the EU was acting like a bully and not unlike a kind of Mafia.
How long is a lifetime. No-on was aware of the lies that were told, money overspent, other countries exerting their influence etc. How many 18 year olds couldn't vote last time but are now looking for places/ jobs moreover if 16 year olds were allowed to vote for their future why not. Granted there has to be a stop off point but I started work at 15 had a mortgage at 18 but wasn't allowed to vote until 21.
Whichever way it goes and whatever happens it'll be interesting to say the least. Who'd have thought that 2+ years on that we'd be left with all this crap ? I'd imagined it would have been a straightforward remain with just a few stragglers voting to leave. I could never have predicted the way it went.
Anja Do you think you should call Time on this tomorrow evening (Sun) - some predictions already look more likely than others? And then start a second thread on Wednesday morning, depending on where we are then.
I am not a socialist. I am a centrist. have voted labour in the past when they have been more centre left. I oppose extremes at either end of the spectrum.
Right now cons are not as far to the right as labour are far to the left.
Total mess...all because TM is totally convinced her way is the right way. If she just listened and had gone with a hard Brexit and had gone into the negotiations with a plan this wouldn't have happened. I feel that if we end up staying the poll tax riots will seem like a gentle walk in the park. It will be terrible
Notanan2 wondering why you find Labour “scary”. They are our only hope to get us out of this mess. Corbyn is playing a blinder. He is the one who is strong and stable. He has been communicating with eu socialist friends, trade unionists, business leaders etc all this time while May has behaved like an aggressive headless chicken. Often when people say they are ex labour they’ve never been socialists. Socialism is only scary if you don’t understand it. What’s not to like unless you are a greedy cold hearted tax dodger. That’s not saying you are notanan2
If drilled down into the legalities of the 'deal' you will find we will be worse off than we are now! Maybe Boris will become PM.........now that will raise your eye- brows! PS I voted out and would do so again........this country once stood up bravely for that which it believed in but now many seem to shy away in fear. As a result of what is happening in today's world, indeed the day will come when many will genuinely need to fear! I fear not.....my trust lies in God....our true Saviour.
I heard the Norway deal discussed. I gather that, given their comparatively small economy the EU were OK with it. However, our economy is much larger so we'd never be offered a similar deal. If there was a better deal actually available do you not think it would have been offered?
The Norway deal is a rubbish one and perhaps Rudd is only plugging this to dismay MP’s into voting for May’s deal? Staying in the EU would be preferable to the Norway one ( and that’s saying something!) I predict MP’s doing something unpredictable.
