@OxfordDiplomat The issue with ideological regimes is that when they #fail, it's always because you're not believing hard enough.

[[email protected] #RejoinEU #FBPE @ourflaguk]

@_HenryBolton Too often this sort of posturing feels tediously academic.

A 52% for #Leave vs 48% for #Remain split for will never resolve.

This is the reality.

Hostage-taking, as we see, is not a viable strategy.

The 2016 #Referendum can either be treated as advisory. Or the #UK must end.

[[email protected] #RejoinEU #FBPE @ourflaguk]

@acgrayling Surely see-sawing is in the interest of no-one? This shouldn't be controversial.

We had a #Referendum in 2016.

52% wanted out. 48% wanted in.

Why do we refuse to look at implementing any solution other than 100% in or 100% out?

#Czechoslovakia handled things better than this.

[[email protected] #RejoinEU #FBPE @ourflaguk]

@MrJohnNicolson Sure. But his party openly endorses #SmallGovernment.

They're quite brazen about it.

Vote "small government", get "small government".

Wondering how most employers would take it if staff announced they were in favour of "small work".

Probably vote for different staff, no?

@jenny96238030 @elwoodpam @Pipal1735 @robertlargan @CarolineLucas Depending on where in the UK you lived, swathes of this in the run up to the 2019 GE.

Conservatives pretending to be LibDems / Community Group / NHS Support group / Labour.

Passing off (anything which could mislead a "moron in a hurry") should absolutely be a finable offence.

@almannysbunnet @tykestakeonit @AndyTelferLegge The arithmetic of it is this:

In a village of 100 people where 99 abstain from voting, the 100th person's vote is 100x more powerful than if everyone had voted.

In short: if you don't vote you make those who do more powerful. They may very well use this power against you. [3/3]

[[email protected] #RejoinEU #FBPE @ourflaguk]

@almannysbunnet @tykestakeonit @AndyTelferLegge Why would they care about you less if you stopped voting? Because there's no longer any penalty to pay when they seek to introduce policies which benefit others at your expense. They can rely on you not to vote them out of office. Because you don't vote. [2/3]

@Andy_sMyName In a nutshell, @Andy_sMyName

Brilliantly articulated.

Brexit: How not to win friends and influence people. Tragic

[[email protected] #RejoinEU #FBPE @ourflaguk]

@Laurence_in_EU @lisanandy Consequently, if @UKLabour wishes to unofficially ally itself with the unhinged wing of the @Conservatives and say no to #RejoinEU & no to #RejoinSM, it's going to lose a lot of votes to @TheGreenParty, @LibDems and @theSNP.

Find a way to restore EU Passports etc. to the 48%.

[[email protected] #RejoinEU #FBPE @ourflaguk]

@Laurence_in_EU MP @LisaNandy has generally adopted a pretty intelligent line on #Brexit.

Democracy is about representation. If 52% are given a chance to vote for something and do so, it's utterly wrong to ignore them.

By the same token, it's utterly wrong to ignore 48%.

@skisidjames @Andy_sMyName @guyverhofstadt @UKLabour #Majoritarianism isn't #Democracy.

The only people who claim it is are those who are scared of democracy.

[[email protected] #RejoinEU #FBPE @ourflaguk]

@skisidjames @guyverhofstadt You should have campaigned to secede.

It's beggars belief that you ever imagined kidnap was a viable strategy.

@CharJayn @jonsopel The alternative is ignoring 48% of the active electorate and that looks increasingly unworkable.

Most (not all) of England & Wales should be granted status equivalent to British Overseas Territories like the Falklands: i.e. British but outside the EU.

@edwinhayward In two words:

Cognitive Dissonance.

Or at least it would be if Brexiteer Unionists were capable of thinking rigorously.

Closer to the truth is: right-wing English enthusiastically favour unions where they get final say over everything and utterly oppose those where they don't.
