Recently in Parliament the Remain MP's tried to wrestle Leaving the EU away from the Govt. which was taking authority away from the Govt. Parliament voted on this proposal. thankfully the proposal/amendment was defeated. which meant the Govt has the authority to take us out of the EU even with a No deal. It means the government has control of parliament business (at the moment). And that is all it means. 3 hours ago, RabidMongoose said: Your whole arguments see you jump from distortion to distortion, its funny. So with your present argument you have convinced yourself that 100% of the UK population only voted in the EU elections based on their Brexit wishes. Also, shall I point out that your maths is wrong too because 35 + 23 + 38 isn't 100 (lmao!!!). That's because there are also other parties that don't have a clear stance. Is maths really that hard? Quote It is shear arrogance to assume all people voted solely on their Brexit wishes and to assume all votes not for the Brexit Party are votes for staying in the EU or a soft-Brexit. I'm not. The 38% also includes UKIP. What I am saying is that remain backing parties were more popular than no deal backing parties. That is a fact.

The majority voted to leave. Forget all the c**p about deal or no deal, that is just a device by vested interests to muddy the waters & string things out. Recently we had the EU elections, only one party stood on the platform of leave no matter what. Only one party stood on the platform of stay no matter what. These are facts. Except for the underlined. Well done. Quote We can ignore all the other mainstream parties because to a lesser or greater extent they are somewhat confused about what they want to do and we have no idea what their followers think, we can only guess. And now we're into interpretation. Decidin which data is relevant and which isn't. Quote One party won by a country mile. the other party were obliterated out of existence. The Brexit Party got 31% of the vote. The lib dems got 20%. Those are facts. Claiming 31% = win while 20% = obliteration is your interpretation.

itsnotoutthere Posted June 28, 2019 Author #233 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) For Britain’s pro-European middle classes, Brexit is akin to a psychological trauma which has left many unable to behave rationally, according to two leading experts. Far from being hyper-rational observers concerned only with what is economically sensible, many have morphed into the "Remainiacs" of Brexiteer disdain. They are acting no differently to what psychologists would expect from those suffering from chronic anxiety caused by loss of control and insecurity, Dr. Philip Corr, professor of psychology and behavioral economics at the University of London, and Dr. Simon Stuart, a clinical psychologist, told POLITICO. In such circumstances, Corr and Stuart said, patients can become prone to anger, despair and rumination, while slipping into polarized "in" and "out" groups, seeking solace in the demonization of the "other," whom they blame for the current state of affairs. It is also something many of them feel can be blamed on those over whom Britain’s educated professionals usually have day-to-day political, economic and social control — the working-class, provincial, poor and elderly who were over-represented among Leave voters. link :- https://www.politico.eu/article/brexit-anxiety-disorder-britain-middle-class/ Edited June 28, 2019 by itsnotoutthere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly....leave democracy to the educated people eh? It's what you've been saying all along. They should introduce a test & if you don't get a high enough score you should never be allowed to vote again, right? In fact thinking about it, that might already be in the Labour manifesto.

To make it through uni in any discipline, you have to have a degree of analytical capability.
