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

[BigLadonOS]

That was the case in Rotherham and many other towns but far from it nationally. 65% of labour voters voted remain. You may not accept that but there is clear and reliable evidence that non conspiracy theorists can point to. Already linked to at least twice in this thread. We can disagree all we want but clearly Labour are ****ed of they stay as they are as we move increasingly towards A No Deal unless there is action to prevent it. Labour I think know this but know that they can't win. Just a case of taking on board the changing picture - unwillingness to compromise (on both sides, sliding towards no deal default) and then deciding what to do. In light of the dreadful arrogance of the minority of the country now aiming to force us, unwillingly into A No Deal, I hope that they move to prevent it. **** outcome by not as **** as No Deal, so there you are.

Original Referendum vote for Rotherham.

What a load of tosh

This is from the home page of the Vote Leave Campaign website -

quote "We should negotiate a new UK-EU deal based on free trade and friendly cooperation. We end the supremacy of EU law. We regain control. We stop sending £350 million every week to Brussels and instead spend it on our priorities, like the NHS and science research."

It doesnt say leave with 'no deal'. I think MPs have an obligation to deliver this promise.

We should negotiate a new UK-EU deal based on free trade and friendly cooperation. They will not do that as has been shown by the corruptness of the EU so what you want is to scrap us leaving the EU because they will not negotiate a fair deal? We have no option but to leave with NO DEAL because they will have us negotiating for a fair deal for however long the EU is alive.

I'm not BL. I'M basing it on the number of labour voters who voted remain in the referendum. It was 65%.I've posted the link twice to the you gov data. I didnt even mention the EU elections. I don't dispute that the majority of the towns in the areas you mention have deserted labour. If labour switch to backing remain, we will probably lose the vast majority of these for good. But as the majority of labour voted in England and GB overall for remain 65% (of you don't believe me, look out up for yourself and post me different) we stand to lose many more of we backed Leave, much as this is on balance Corbyn's option of with a deal. As I've said, some of my family (especially London in laws) think labour have betrayed them already by not falling behind remain earlier, and probably won't vote them again. But at the end of the day, they're as stubborn as you are as they see any deal as betrayal. What a ****ing mess.

In the 2016 EU referendum, 148 Labour constituencies voted to leave, 84 to remain.

Surely if they are Labour constituencies they are labour voters.

Be interesting to see what the people of Peterborough have voted for today. Expecting the first Brexit Party MP to be elected by a comfortable majority. The reactions from the likes of Vince EU Cable will be revealing.

If we do leave with a new deal the EU will introduce a grace period while negotiations take place already have certain things in place already...it’s 90% brinkmanship

Read the full fact article I linked to this morning. That discusses it in terms of constituencies

Yes, but how many times? Leaving the EU with a deal, as most voters expected, is still leaving the EU. That is where you and I differ hugely. And where you and the majority of the UK voters differ hugely.

The majority of the UK want to leave with a secured deal that will minimise damage to the economy. The majority of the UK do not want to leave with a No Deal.

It's as plain and simple as that.

I don't agree with this. I think most voters expected to leave the EU and then get a deal.
