O/T Will your Remain/Leave view effect your General Election vote ?

[WBA123]

Haven't we already had this discussion? Of course it's the governments fault. They had a overall majority in the commons. All they had to do was agree on a deal and Brexit would've gone through, but decided to have a election and lost their majority.
I really don't see how you can blame everyone else apart from the Tories.
Really can't see how a election will solve anything. The vote is too split between parties for any of them to get a overall majority.

Its amazing isn't it...

Tory Leavers will blame everyone and everything apart from themselves or their own party.

Theresa May had a majority in 2017, no one forced her to have an election and lose it.
Her deal was rejected 3 times by Parliament, but was effectively defeated because of the ERG, those in her own party who voted against it.
Boris Johnson was voted in by Tory members because he promised to renegotiate a great deal and unite the party and country. He still had a majority (with the DUP) and had he bought back a deal that worked for the Tories and DUP, as he promised he would, he'd have got it through. No one forced him to sack 21 of his own MPs.

The opposition have actually done them a favour and kept the Tories in power by being so weak.

I have been arguing that remaining in the EU is the best option for the country and I still believe that. However, the worst option is for Corbyn and his band of idiots to win the election and completely wreck the country. Last election I voted LibDem but this time? I think that it will have to be the party that offers the best chance of keeping Corbyn out. I suppose that is negative voting but the prospect of Corbyn as PM is too horrific to contemplate; I am too old to contemplate emigration.......!

And this is why a General Election won't solve anything.

How many people are in the same boat? Who want to remain but don't like Corbyn.

We could actually be in a position where more people vote for remain parties and a leave party wins because of our FPTP system.
Or vice versa.

And get ready for more uncertainty in the event of a hung Parliament.

That's why a 2nd Referendum would have clarified Brexit so much better.

I think a hung Parliament is a stone blind certainty, so we will be in just the same situation as we are now with Brexit, I voted remain but was/am prepared to accept the majority decision

The issue has always been that it is not defined what the Leave vote is. Another referendum will define it and give it a mandate with enough support.

You can't say that leaving the EU with Boris Johnson's Deal is the will of all 17m leave voters, when prominent leavers like the DUP and Farage don't support it.
