26% is significantly more than 20%.26% of the electorate voted for the Tories in 2019 but you were happy for them to do 'pretty much what they want to'
These are the sourest of sour grapes I'm afraid.
And you're getting a taste (maybe more than a taste by the sounds of it!) of how the rest of us have felt for the last 14 years.
Great, you agree that there should have been no attempts to interfere with Brexit and Starmer should absolutely respect the result of the referendum - to the letter and in spirit.I agree with her there’s something not good about denigrating our democratic process
Same with trump and his fans in 2020
What does 'in spirit' mean because it sounds a bit like a catchall for anything you don't agree withGreat, you agree that there should have been no attempts to interfere with Brexit and Starmer should absolutely respect the result of the referendum - to the letter and in spirit.
6,103,056 signatories over the 6 months is the one I've just looked up.The revoke Brexit petition got like 7m signatures so presumably you lads think we should still be in the EU if petitions hold such weight.
It means, for example, not going back and renegotiating, not paying the EU any fees, not being subservient to the ECHR. The "spirit" was/ is, in my view, about being able to act as a sovereign nation.What does 'in spirit' mean because it sounds a bit like a catchall for anything you don't agree with
It's about 5% now. With best part of 6 months to go. It would be entirely possible to end up with >20% by the time the petition closes.I don't like this Labour government so far as much as the next man, but I know you like statistics about the popular mandate.
The petition has been signed by 1.66% of voters, it's an irrelevance
26% is significantly more than 20%.
Nowhere have I said I was happy for them to do pretty much what they wanted to. It could be argued that they weren't actually able to do what they wanted to.
How's this new world under Labour going? The bubbly still flowing?
Yes because 14 years of destroying the country bit by bit has all been undone in just a few months
Looks like they saw the country was on fire and threw petrol all over it instead of water.
I think you need to downgrade your expectations and look at what's happened to petitions that have reached the threshold in the past. Firstly there's no guarantee of a debate, the threshold merely means the petitions committee will consider it for a debate. They could turn round and say this is a waste of parliament's time as we know what the laws on calling a general election are.The debate will be interesting - will Keir even be here and will he be dismissive in that really irritating way that he has.
I doubt it, I think there were only a very few tractors as the police had advised them not to take them.Wonder if this dickhead was just no his way back from Westminster at the time:
Police investigate tractor that created ‘devastating’ wave in flooded UK town

I take it you agree that 52:48 IS the will of the people.From the producers of ‘52:48 is the will of the people’ comes a new instalment entitled ‘4.6% is a mandate’
