The EU is doomed to fail – a socialist vanity project , it is unfathomable that remainers deny what the country voted for – a bunch of self righteous uneducated scared and bottleless idiots with Stockholm syndrome – no doubt the vocal minority – brainwashed by left wing press – and scared of their own shadows – you are pitiful excuses for human beings

“The future of democracy in this country” , and “the will of the people” – both phrases that are used to frighten people into letting things happen and not challenge them. MPs have pursued the Brexit chimera in deference to the “popular will,” as manifested in the 2016 referendum; and because the interests of the two major parties seemed to exclude an honest recognition of the internal contradictions of the whole Brexit project. I wish the Left wasn’t divided and was ready to speak openly about the idiocy of trying to negotiate a “new deal” with the EU when the ‘people’ have no idea of what that deal will mean for them.

All this talk of “the will of the people” etc etc.
Never forget, 37% of the voting population of the UK voted Leave, 35% voted Remain and the other 28% didn’t vote. That is NOT a ringing endorsement for anything. No wonder the MPs struggle to come up with a solution. The Referendum gave them no clear decision on “Brexit” , not even an agreed definition of what Brexit would look like.

I can’t wait for the Leave supporters (200 allegedly marching to London as I write) to amass in London on Saturday in their hundreds of thousands! Currently, “Leave the EU without a deal in March 2019.” petition has less than 550,000 signatures or about 10% of the Revoke Article 50 petition!

Leave trolls grasping at straws. The numbers of signers outside the UK is tiny in comparison to the 5.5M who have signed and many of those are bone fide citizens outside the UK. This is in sharp contrast to the conduct of the Leave campaign and the claim by May of Russian interference in UK elections (Lord Mayor’s Banquet, Nov. 2017). This has never been followed up as it would be very inconvenient for the PM’s Brexit means Brexit basis of her premiership.

My girlfriend and I signed the petition while we were on holiday in Malaysia. I’m sure plenty of people who are expats or vacationing did the same. If I had to guess a number it probably wouldn’t be far off 4%. I suppose this guy believes Donald Trump’s “millions of illegal voters” theory as well…

Jackie you are absolutely right…..the 2016 referendum gave a clear majority for leave anyone who says not does not truly understand democracy. Do people really think Gina miller and her backers who delayed everything for 6 months did not have another agenda. In any event ..there is something far more serious here than brexit (I voted to leave) the future of democracy is being challenged by ordinary people who are being swept along by the establishment who have their own agenda and reasons for ignoring the democratic vote.
