KopTalk.com Forums Brexit and the chequers agreement ?

In matters of democracy I think they are the majority they may also be in number for all we know. However if the only argument left for remaining in the EU is every person (including babies) did not vote to leave the EU then it shows the debate is pretty much over. We are leaving the EU and that's the way it is. I also see Dominic rabb is to have a six hour meeting with barnier who knows what's to be discussed but this very much sounds like thrashing out the finer detail of a deal that's taking shape.

I'm not arguing that we should remain. What I'm arguing and still can't seem to grasp is that you said that 17.4m people were the majority of the country which they're not. They are the majority of those who voted. Big difference.

There are roughly 45.77m people registered to vote which makes 17.4m not even a majority of electorate. This changes nothing and I don't want to change the vote because of it but get your comments right in the future.

Ok I will say the majority of those who voted. By the way how do you know the large number who could not be bothered to vote are remain supporters given you seem to know conclusively the majority of people do not want to leave the EU?

I don't know how they voted and don't think I've said conclusively that they wouldn't vote to leave. Just saying that it wasn't the majority of the country, just those who voted.

Well I am glad we cleared that up then. I think once we leave the EU in march people will move on from brexit despite George Osbournes lurid predictions the country is doing pretty well and the sun is shining. A report in the press is that London is the major city in the world for investment and other major cities in England are in the top 20 in the world. Not bad for an economy going off a cliff. I was rather hoping Vish or shaggy would by now have shown us a link to it but they must have been busy elsewhere. Once we leave the EU the establishment knows its over and you will find all these horror stories will dry up much to the sorry of some

I don't think you have left yet, have you? It's good that the high inflation due to the depreciation of the GBP especially on petroleum products is not hurting you too much.

I think we’ll get a deal in the end and hopefully we’ll do well. I think it’s up to us as a country how well we do and there’s no point keeping on moaning about it or we will end up destroying ourselves. It’s not all doom and gloom just yet.

I can honestly say things have never been better in my lifetime in Britain. Yes there are problems (there always are) but overall things are going very well. And again today the mood music is a deal with the EU is very close some of the press are reporting by October.

Food banks don't bother you?

Thousands dying after being declared fit for work doesn't tug at your heart strings?

Zero hours contracts don't bother you?

A government embroiled in a civil war doesn't cost you a thought?

Brexit in Name Only doesn't concern you?

Totally delusional Stan.

As I said not everything is right or perfect. But overall the country is doing very well. I agree about wage compression and zero hour contracts which is directly due to gross over supply of manual labour. I am glad shaggy you are concerned now you will see why me and millions like me voted for brexit and control over our laws. But we are not in the huge recession some predicted and many remainers hoped for the country has record employment one of the highest inward investments in the developed world and London is actually the highest in the world. Also you keep saying chequers is brexit in name only can you provide detail with reference to the appropriate section in the chequers agreement so I can examine your assertions because it was not my reading. I know there is not a hope in hell of you answering that so please feel free to change the subject as per normal
