walshie 2,804 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Well they debated it - if that's what you can call it. I thought debates were supposed to have two opposite points of view. This was just a handful of nobodies standing up and saying why we shouldn't leave immediately and all agreeing with each other using the most words possible. The remainers were using the old "narrow majority" argument again. This wasn't a debate about the result of the referendum. Even the leavers wanted it to take as long as possible. What else did we really expect? It was a travesty of a debate. It was discussing why they should keep their snouts in the trough for another year or more. Totally disgusting. http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/2237e95c-62c3-498e-8174-619d61ef069b Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very one sided. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,638 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm 99% convinced that there is utterly no point in those petitions or for that matter lobbying your MP. They are not for changing their minds, not unless re-election is threatened and well we saw how much the country was willing to hold their MPs to account on the referendum result with the GE that followed it. Why should they pay us any attention? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I only sign those petitions to remind them that the public have their own opinions and don't think everything is tickedy-boo because they tell us it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Gain 1,759 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Are they all so blinkered that they don't realise they are taking the piss out of us, and have been since the result of the referendum? 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And that 1% of me still dictates that I often do the same mate. Just a show of force, even if it is largely seen as gutless. I can't think of one time when a petition was done that would rattle the establishment which they so much as conceded ANY ground on in the way of a compromise. It's the usual, "we understand......" "we are resolute in fighting for...." "that is why we will stand by our policy of....". Utter shite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLATTOP 3,665 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 It seems that democracy is dying in this country I don't trust May one bit, come the next election how could you vote for her although I don't think she will be leader by then, but the alternative don't bear thinking about Corbyn and his army of lily livered snowflakes. That will be the last online petition I ever sign a waste of valuable time. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
