O/T DDay for Brexit..well sort of...

[John2]

Almost three years on and I've just read the dumbest Remain argument yet.

Apparently the electorate changed their mind a year after the Referendum because they elected a House of Commons where the majority of MPs are Remainers, never mind that both Conservative and Labour stood on a platform of delivering Brexit, the public actually knew which MPs were really Remainers and that's why they voted for them.

They stood on a platform of delivering a Brexit that was good for the country. No deal and May's deal have not been determined to meet this criteria, parliament has legitimate paralysis.

As you were
I think this is what you were referring to



Forward Together: The Conservative Manifesto 2017

The next five years are the most challenging that Britain has faced in my lifetime.

Brexit will define us: our place in the world, our economic security and our future prosperity.

So now more than ever, Britain needs a strong and stable government to get the best Brexit deal for our country and its people.

Now more than ever, Britain needs strong and stable leadership to make the most of the opportunities Brexit brings for hardworking families.

Now more than ever, Britain needs a clear plan.

This manifesto, Forward, Together: Our Plan for a Stronger Britain and a Prosperous Future will meet the great challenges of our time, beyond Brexit.

With this plan and with a strong hand through Brexit, we will build a stronger, fairer, more prosperous Britain, for all of us.


Theresa May


Can anyone see "a plan" amongst all that rhetoric?

That's a great argument, WanChai, provided that you cherry pick your evidence.

There were Leave and Remain campaigns in the run up to the referendum. The Leave campaign - backed up by a publication put out by the Cameron government - set out the downside of leaving.

I agree with remain that there isn't a good economic case for leaving, but the public had the competing arguments set out before them and chose to do so. It is surely now the duty of those MPs who were elected on manifestoes that promised to honour the outcome of the referendum - the Tories and Labour - to do so.
