Is it me or does Teresa May look more and more like Ted Heath?
[QUOTE=Yarmbaggie;39064236]Not a fan of May but cant agree with that.
Cameron just took the easy option agreeing to a Brexit vote without fully understanding what the consequences were. At best I think he did it because he was convinced we would vote to remain in the EU and by going to the vote he could at least appease his anti EU backbenchers who were causing him so much grief. Hardly great or strong leadership.
May for all her faults has at least tried to do the impossible which is to agree a Brexit deal with the EU. She was never going to get us a great deal or one that would have support in Parliament. However after the Brexit vote someone had to have a go. Someone who would at least try to agree a deal rather than someone who was just on a collision course with the EU.
For me Cameron is the one who gets far more of the blame than May.[/QUOTE
In hindsight Yarm, I agree with you. Had some sympathy for her today tbh.
I think that despite so many politicians still using Brexit to follow their own agendas and score points etc, any of them who voted in favour of holding the referendum is to blame. It isn’t the Brexiteers, all of them should have had these debates before offering the country a vote. It’s amazing how many are taking the higher ground when these details should have been discussed and put to the country pre vote.

You’re having a laugh.
This Labour lot are a vile bunch of Trotsky zealots.
Holicaust deniers,Jew haters,misogynists with the Momentum lot treating the moderate Labour MP’s in an awful way.
Laura Kuensberg the BBC political reporter had to have personal protection at the Labour conference due to threats of violence and worse from Momentum activists.
You live in the past Lloyd and just trot out the old 70’s dogma.
A completely new party made up of the best of the moderates from Labour,the odd sensible Liberal MP and the best of the Tory Party is what’s needed.
We need a party that understands business and doesn’t hate business but that has a proper social conscience and sorts out issues over mental health,homelessness,the health service etc and starts looking after our own rather than sending billions abroad will get my vote.
New Labour at its best was so nearly what was needed in my opinion but Blair’s “God Complex” ruined that.
Christ knows where we go from here.
In my opinion we have joined a growing list of countries across Europe struggling after being let down by politicians of various different parties.
The Greek people, the Italians, the Spanish even the Germans all facing huge problems. Either high austerity, high employment for the young, high immigration. No one seems to be able to sort anything out and maybe that is the problem. Maybe the whole system needs a shake up.
The whole lot of them are to blame mate. Your correct that these things should have been ironed out beforehand but it should have been done before the decision to allow a refererendum. The EU were never going to discuss it before Article 50 was triggered but domestically parliament should have taken months if necessary to discuss the possible scenarios that could unravel which is why any MP who voted for a public vote is guilty regardless of whether they’re a leaver or remainer. The whole process has been shambolic with all parties still trying to point score amidst the chaos. There’s an old saying that if you don’t like the answer don’t ask the question.
Sadly, Cameron and the establishment were so out of touch and arrogant they misjudged the mood of the people by thinking it was a foregone conclusion.
The answer is another referendum, sadly, it’s not the right way to run the country but that’s where we’ve been taken. Forget the whole sorry mess and stay in the EU as a full member and we’ll all be better off financially. Please don’t bother to argue with me at this time as I’ve just come back from the pub..............! I think the beer was about 6%, therefore I’m argumentative!!!!! Also sleepy! Just agree with me and life will be good. Yes, really! LOL. Even my dog agrees with me!
