LondonMix Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I know. Some senior Brexitors have already distanced themselves from the idea of reducing immigration (its been less than 72 hours). If they really continue down this bait and switch strategy I worry what it will do to the country. There is now a galvanised hardcore anti-immigration population in the UK. If they believe the Tory party has wilfully deceived them what will that give rise too. Its an incredibly dangerous game...WorkingMummy Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> LondonMix Wrote:> --------------------------------------------------> -----> > The reason they want to delay triggering> Article> > 50 is because the two year time frame for exit> put> > the UK at a negotiating disadvantage.

nxjen Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 So the petition was set up by a Brexiteer.

Jules-and-Boo Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Benn being sacked doesn't mean the dissolution of the labour party, New GirlAt least we know they still exist - rather than the Chancellor - who may as well have vapourised.

She is the only sensible candidate PM right now.I want to see what Buckingham Palace will do. Osborne has vapourised. We effectively have no PM.

At the last election there was only one clear anti-immigration party (ignoring the likes of the BNP etc), and that was UKIP. They only got around 4m votes. If there was an election tomorrow they wouldn't win it because at elections people take on board the bigger picture. The referendum looked at things in isolation, so is it any wonder we got an isolationist response. I believe the US doesn't have national referendums, I can see why now...

Louisa Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Utter turmoil within parliamentary Labour Party. Six shadow cabinet members resigned, one sacked and yet there is a petition of more than 100,000 signatures to a petition to keep Corbyn as leader. He will stay, having lost the parliamentary parties trust and the party will fragment. Utter chaos. To top this, we still are waiting to find out who will be PM and when the chancellor is coming out his bunker to provide some answers to all the questions we have. Two political parties in utter chaos. Louisa. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/111980-eu-petition/page/4/#findComment-1014723 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules-and-Boo Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 are you more worried about the shadow cabinet that the one supposedly leading the country? That's distinctly unsettling in itself.

red devil Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 No. It's part of the ongoing manoeuvering by all political parties ahead of an expected general election. So no need to get unsettled, distinctly or otherwise...

New Girl Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Forgive me that was a flippant remark. Trust me, I'm traumatised, ashamed and genuinely upset by the referendum. What I was trying to get at that, in this time of uncertainty it would have have been 'nice' to have somethings that were constant that wasn't uncertain either. I'm not hysterical that half the shadow cabinet has resigned but I am concerned the country and political parties are now in turmoil after the vote. Yes it probably has to happen, but what's the country left with? We look a right mess. Hope that makes sense.

Blah Blah Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 And here's my regret Louisa. I voted for Corbyn for new leader, but now also hugely regret doing so. The membership are counting chickens if they think Corbyn would be re-elected with anything like the same mandate.

Loz Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Maybe, BB, but he had such a big mandate he can lose quite a few and still get re-elected. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/111980-eu-petition/page/4/#findComment-1014863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blah Blah Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 It would take just a 10% swing up against a single candidate - so not as unlikely as may seem. The key is getting the right other candidate.
