Now they demand that Parliament votes to deny the people their decision. Each time they lose they demand a re run on the grounds that Parliament, like the people, has got it wrong and needs to vote on it all over again.

Remain does not do democracy – they just assert they know better than the people

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 15, 2019

The Remain MPs who lost the referendum now tell us we must believe in Parliamentary sovereignty and let Parliament decide whether we leave the EU or not. They try to claim Leaver MPs are not democratic in wishing for us just to leave. They want to pitch Parliament against the people, and get Parliament to dilute or cancel Brexit. They do not accept our argument that Parliament gave the decision to voters and promised to do what they decided, so to do otherwise is to undermine the sovereignty of the people.

This week they had their way and put so called No Deal back to the vote. They lost. Under their own doctrine they should now be saying that Parliament has exercised its powers and has come to a decision. Some of them, of course reveal yet again their anti democratic instincts by claiming Parliament must vote again on this issue as it got the wrong answer. Clearly as they see it Parliament did not understand the question!

The irony of the Remain position is huge. These Remain MPs who delighted in voting away our Parliamentary powers in treaty after Treaty, Directive after Directive, now like to pose as upholding the rights of the very Parliament they trashed by removing much of its freedom of action. Now they demand that Parliament votes to deny the people their decision. Each time they lose they demand a re run on the grounds that Parliament, like the people, has got it wrong and needs to vote on it all over again.

17+ MILLION VOTED TO LEAVE

17 million is a big political movement and has significant purchasing power. Time to start to think about using this.

And there are Dutch bulbs to think about. Dutch Tulips
REALLY THINK HARD BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING from EUSSR
Spanish holiday. Irish holiday. French wine. Belgian chocolate. Think. Etc

The People, at least 17 million can act as well as Parliament.

People. Gloves off. Time to BOYCOTT the EU. The Elite have crushed and twisted and swindled our Democracy. But the People have teeth too and it is time to bare them,

The 'Withdrawal Agreement' cobbled together by May and a two-faced Conservative Party is now no more – is it? Trying to fob off the The Referendum Result and sell this 'agreement' with Fear.

But in effect it is REMAIN all dressed up in new clothing and method. This will never be harmonious, and now may be the time to consider various campaigns such as whether to buy German cars for example.

17 million voted against staying in the EU. That is a lot of buying power. Think before buy now.

Campaign. The politicians have not listened. The Economic War. THE PEOPLE RULE OK!

German cars and apes


German cars unfinished business


And there is the consideration of Continental European wine. Many fine and exciting wines found outside Europe.

Millions of songbirds vacuumed to death every year during Mediterranean olive harvest




The EUSSR has stated publicly it wants to HURT the UK. We too can HURT the EUSSR too, particularly Germany and Vichy France. Spanish holiday. Irish holiday. French wine. Belgian chocolate. Think.


The People can vote and not be listened to. BUT THE PEOPLE CAN ACT . Think before buying from the EUSSR

Pass it on. BOYCOTT the EUSSR. Tusck wants us to go to Hell – the very Gestapo and Mafia thinking that still lies at the heart of the EUSSR

Pass it on. Thank-you

WIKI BREXIT PARTY
'The party's constitution was published by the Electoral Commission as a result of a freedom of information request in May 2019.[36] It describes the party as seeking to "promote and encourage those who aspire to improve their personal situation and those who seek to be self-reliant, whilst providing protection for those genuinely in need; favour the ability of individuals to make decisions in respect of themselves; seek to diminish the role of the State; lower the burden of taxation on individuals and businesses."[37] SDP politician Patrick O'Flynn, who was elected as a UKIP MEP under Farage's leadership and supported the Brexit Party in the 2019 European elections, commented on the constitution's description of the party as following classical liberalism and ascribed them as having a Thatcherite ideological core.[38] James Glancy, one of the party's MEPs, has compared the party to the Referendum Party, being a "united and diverse group of people from different political backgrounds".[39]

The party's first non Brexit-related policy was revealed on 4 June 2019; the party proposes to transform British Steel into a partly worker-owned company, in what has been described as "a hybrid of Conservative and Labour policy".[40]'

Brexit Party has to look ahead to being in government.

'“Seek to diminish the role of the State.” Now, I am by no means a left-wing socialist. But neither am I an unalloyed Thatcherite. And neither are millions of Leave voters. You can only diminish the role of the state in a limited number of ways, the principal of these being to privatise or otherwise reduce its functions or to cut its budgets. In the UK, our state sector has been subject to almost a decade of austerity. And yes, given a population rise of four million in that period, even those areas of public services whose budgets have apparently kept pace with inflation have suffered major cuts in reality. Whole swathes of services from the police to local authority budgets have provably suffered much worse than that. I believe it has been to the detriment of British society. We can argue how much of this austerity was necessary, given the extent of the public sector deficit at the outset. But surely only a small proportion of the electorate will think that a further reduction of public sector budgets is justified. And neither have many recent privatisations worked well – the latest farce being the atrocious and predictable flop of the part-privatisation of the Probation Service, now abandoned. On the railways, the taxpayer has stepped in to bail out private franchise holders too. Most sensitive of all is the issue of the National Health Service. Now remember the Brexit Party is a “classical liberal party”, which has baked into its constitution a mission to “diminish the role of the State”. As of yet, it has no stated policy on healthcare provision in the UK. But its leader said the following when he was leader of UKIP: “I think we are going to have to move to an insurance-based system of healthcare. Frankly, I would feel more comfortable that my money would return value if I was able to do that through the market place of an insurance company.” This quote was one of the very few millstones that Nigel draped around the neck of UKIP, helping to place a ceiling on its potential support which precluded a major parliamentary breakthrough. I also believe it to be Nigel’s true and consistent private view in regard to healthcare provision. We are in different, more extraordinary circumstances now. Nonetheless, the Brexit Party, which has been an astonishing success in the European elections, is proposing to go into a general election with a constitution calling for the shrinking of the state and a leader on record as wishing to privatise the NHS. It won’t wash. Certainly not in Mansfield or Wigan or countless other blue-collar towns populated by people who paid their National Insurance stamps, view big PLCs with suspicion and expect the welfare state to be there when they need it. And it won’t wash once Labour finally works out that accusing, ludicrously, the Brexit Party of being “far right” or questioning where it gets its money from are entirely useless responses to its ascent. The Achilles heel of the Brexit Party in fact runs all the way up the back of its leg. It has been lumbered, quite unnecessarily, with an avowedly Thatcherite philosophical core. Among habitual Tory pro-Leave voters, this may not matter much as there is certainly a renewed appetite among a substantial element of them for big, right-of-centre ideas. But among habitual Labour-facing pro-Leave voters, it will be a killer. I do not suppose Nigel Farage will feel after his latest brilliant triumph that the weakness I have identified should overly concern him much. But the political context will not always be so conducive. To have the single policy of Brexit in a European election was a perfectly sustainable way to unite the different tribes of Leave voters. In a general election you need much more. There is a way that Nigel could make a major play for the support of centre and centre-Left leavers in domestic elections. And that would be to drop the shrink-the-state stuff from the Brexit Party constitution.'

Boris a breath of fresh air after Theresa the appeaser. As he said some time ago, let them go whistle for the £39 billion. Leave 31/10/19.

Chuka Umunna’s self-serving hypocrisy is emblematic of our broken politics

Owen Jones


The ex-Labour MP’s vanity has collided with political reality – he now embraces a party he once planned to destroy

Fri 14 Jun 2019 12.42 BST Last modified on Fri 14 Jun 2019 17.33 BST




At the end of April, a leaked document from Umunna’s Change UK revealed his then-party’s plans to wipe out the Lib Dems as an electoral force. Umunna has gone from seeking to politically extinguish a party to becoming its enthusiastic parliamentary representative in the course of seven weeks.

"this thread will cease to exist if Corbyn becomes PM"

Why is that? I would hope that posters are nimble enough to have switched to hold bearish positions before that happened.

PS. jacko, you must work harder on ITV. Don't want to short it as there must be a risk of takeover.
