How regal of you!
No the poll is useful. It says more than half those polled want a second vote. That's significantly up on a few months ago. There are also the other poll questions you don't appear to be bothering to take note of.
As I said in my other post you're insisting that the vote would have to be take the deal or leave, but as you point out above, nowhere doses it say that. So no, the poll certainly isn't worthless, but it is worthless in backing up your assertion.
You've created a straw man and then claimed that the poll is invalid because it doesn't answer the straw man question you put forward.
I dont need to. What makes you think there are only two options with a final vote on the deal?

This isn't the Brexit thread. Final warning.

As requested by our wonderful overlords...
I was thinking recently, we haven't had a large majority Government since 2001!

Something incredible happen in parliament today. There was genuine debate, ministers actually had to explain themselves with sincerity... and most strange of all, they actually changed their mind on something because other people had differing views.
Hung parliaments. Long may they continue.
They should all be hung... the parliaments that is, not the ministers.
I think.

Didn't make it from the manifesto to the Queen's Speech. Given how much they benefit from it now, I sincerely doubt they'll change it.

Just a heads up, this thread will be closed on the 8th July
Soldato
How come? Closed permanently or just for the day?
Don
Permanently. The thread has run its course and there are other threads both in GD and SC that cover the specific topic areas that are being discussed.
Soldato
Is it such a terrible idea to let us have a generic political thread running in GD where we can berate our beloved MP's?
Soldato
Are people really only just realising that Corbyn is a hard Brexit supporter? He has disliked the EU his entire career!
Caporegime
Yep. He doesn't like the EU because the freedoms limit the power of the government to institute left wing protectionist policies for workers, businesses, etc.
Lesson one, voters are idiots. There is a large segment of voters that effectively don't do there research then blame the party when they implement the ideas they ran on (see also the backlash against the lib dems over the coalition and implementing much of their manifesto)
I think it's more a case that they'd rather have the Tories out and have accepted that we're Brexiting regardless of who is in charge. But sure, assume everyone but you is an idiot.
I tried explaining this to friends but it was quickly ignored. The EU is great for big business... knocking down administrative barriers and driving down wages - of course a socialist of Corbin's calibre isn't going to like it.
