O/T Democracy

I dont know if anyone watched Question Time on the BBC on Thursday but what we heard from Emily Thornberry was utter tripe and totally unworkable and this is supposed to be the Labour stance on the EU.

She said that the Labour policy was to go to the EU and try to get the best deal that they could get (Dont forget that she would be part of any negotiations made) and then put it to a new referendum but then she would vote against that deal because they want to stay in the EU.

How the **** would that work???????????? Labour are now the most two faced ****s who have ever represented the Labour Party.

I actually agree with you on this. I'm all for them negotiating a different deal that has a better chance of uniting parliament, and for agreeing to put that up against Remain in a referendum, so that the public can choose but I'm hoping that she's not suggesting that the party would whip against their own deal! She's a staunch remainer, and I'd allow Labour MPs to vote with their own judgement even if against the whip (unlike Boris - love from Amber x) so she might be talking of her own stance here. But if Labour campaign against their own deal, that would be ridiculous. Everything is gone mad at the moment. I'm going Green

The point I am making regardless of if she would vote against it is irrelevant but how could we trust her to walk in to Europe and try to make a good deal for us when she is like May in that no deal would be good enough for her to vote for? What could possibly motivate her to fight for a good deal?
