And how much of an idiot was I not long ago when questioning those who said there was no chance of the Mayhem deal going through?

Err. Hello. When did I suggest such a thing? Have you misread something?
I feel another disagreement coming on here. I don't like people saying I have said something that I haven't. I have not said I am in favour of another vote or referendum in any way.
And how much of an idiot was I not long ago when questioning those who said there was no chance of the Mayhem deal going through?
Yes you have. Let it go the first time you said it. But if I didn't correct you the second time I could see it would continue to be said in the future.This is a paraphrase of one of your posts:
‘I still put it even between leave without a deal,leave accepting the deal and ending up with another referendum.’
This is quite vague and it’s meaning is unclear to me. I’ve interpreted as options for a referendum if the government chose that route. Not saying you’re in support of this outright, just if that’s the decision of government to hold another vote.
Feel free to correct me if I’ve got the wrong end of the stick here.
Exactly. Call another referendum and there will always be calls for more. Those who voted remain will have seen that they can get another so will keep on about getting another....As you said from a year onwards. And if a second one went the way of remain those who voted leave would see moaning about the result and keeping pressure on for another referendum works. So it would be their turn.
So where would it end?
And have you found where I said I wanted a choice of 3 yet?
Yes you have. Let it go the first time you said it. But if I didn't correct you the second time I could see it would continue to be said in the future.
As I said I see it as an even chance between the 3 options. That is it. Nothing else said. Nothing else meant.
Who would want a referendum with 3 or more answers when 2 is difficult enough?
But it keeps making the May deal look more likely to go through. As you know I called it this way. Vote last minute after she delays it as long as she can. Do you remember I said I wouldn't be surprised if it came down to May deal or remaining in the EU? Could be referendum. Could be another way. Nobody knows.It has nothing to do with this vote
No.problem.Fair enough, I’ll go back and edit your name out of the original posts to avoid misrepresenting your view. At least one person proposed it way back in the thread when I originally got involved.
No.problem.
Everyone has different ideas. Some will see your ideas as bad as you see this one.
This is why I prefer to say what I think will happen instead of what I would prefer. Makes me consider all options. The problem is it makes me trust all involved a lot less. Now I don't know what I want the most.
Most important is a trade deal that favours the people of the EU. As in us....the working class.
What I want the most is everyone be as happy with the final result as possible. Impossible?
Don't worry about the edits. A couple on here will still quote it when it suits their argument....no mentioning names....:shifty:
And here is the problem. Democracy. Respecting a result. Following through on a vote.That’s democracy, and public opinion is constantly changing. Referendums, as a rule of thumb, tend to be rare so I imagine it’d be off the table for a while after a final say on the deal. The scenario we find ourself in is exceptional hence the necessity for something as a drastic as another referendum.
What a plonker. He has me on ignore and is still talking about me. He calls that bliss. Nuff said.
You mean now it is too late and tens of thousands of people are going to die because they did nothing?
And here is the problem. Democracy. Respecting a result. Following through on a vote.
Democracy isn't ignoring a vote. Having another referendum isn't democracy. So best to call it something else.
You and Dugdale are on the same level now. Two peas in a pod.

I don't know if you have read my comments on here before. But I have been planning retiring for years. I plan to retire in 8 years 10 months when my youngest is 18. It is to go in a motor home, turn right at Calais and follow the coast. Keep going whilst one of us is fit enough to drive. Want at least 10 years of it. Give family home to kids. Brexit looks as though it will f¥ck my plans up. But Brexit isn't bad for everyone. I try to respect the views of everyone. That is long as they don't disrespect anyone and are also truthful.My arguments attenpt to be apolitical because I genuinely think a second referendum is very likely. Where my bias is, however, that I said that from Day 1, to uni friends and close friends.
You talked about me all the time I had had you on ignore. Poor Tony can’t cope and needs therapy whenever I do it to him

You do realise that some see the Eu fourth Reich project as positive? Many pro Eu commentators describe it as such and believe it is a good thing?
A referendum is democracy. Denying a referendum when the polls show a majority want one, is not democracy.
A referendum is a form of direct democracy, the purest democracy has to offer.
People voted to leave, an elected government has gone away and negotiated a deal and to hold a vote on that deal is about as close to pure democracy as you can get.
A referendum cannot be undemocratic in any circumstances because the electorate is voting on an issue.
I have no idea what you are on about. Try chatting to your latest acolyte about it.
More of a chance than when telling me I was wrong thinking there was a chance of it happening?I seen to remember you posing multiple suggestions and say no one knows. There’s still little chance of May’s deal getting through, IMO.

Of course you don’t.

Nobody knows what will happen next. I'm not saying that it will happen. But she has played for time like I thought she would. The choice could well be leave without a deal or take Mayhems deal. Which would you take?
It was nothing to do with us. Don't do your normal and twist the truth. It won't work with me.Should I ask it another way. If the UK, which sits on the EU council, s so much better on this subject, what did they do to push the matter in the EU?
You might as well ask.. which do you want, a kick in the head or a kick in the bollocks? According to the polls, more people now want neither.
