Of course they are cowards, they are literally the definition of the word.
What the feck are you even talking about? Johnson set an incredibly obvious trap for the opposition. If they walked into it, they wouldn’t be brave, they’d be morons.

I mean, I'll be really glad if the Conservatives cease to exist but they'll just disseminate into other parties and sadly the Brexit Party in charge and Nige as PM seem more and more likely
Jesus didn't think I'd ever imagine a situation worse than Boris Johnson as PM

The Tories' tactics now seem to be mainly childish schoolyard taunts like this.

Did they really think Labor would be stupid enough to fall for triggering a GE so that the Tories could potentially win and push through a no deal Brexit?

And then they seemed suprised when it didn't work with no sensible alternative in reserve. Who is their strategist? Baldric?

May must be relieved that he took so short a time to take the title of worst PM in living memory from her. However Cameron must know deep down that he was the one to blame for this whole shit show.

I think it's lovely that the pig-fecker is the boy who destroyed the tory party.

Spare us the pre-school Tory attack lines. There will be an election called within a month or so, and no-one is fooled by the Tories transparent attempts to slip a no-deal Brexit through via trickery.

As for reapplying, it isn’t a gym membership we’re talking about. Even if the EU would readmit us (highly questionable), it would first involve huge economic damage from the original exit and then having to crawl back and be willing to accept much crapper terms than we already have. Yay, we’d be humiliated and much poorer too..
But... but ... that British Bulldog Spirit...??

Cameron isnt to blame for the British public being stupid ignorant and racist enough to vote for Brexit thinking it meant no Muslims

yes he is. If he hadn't given them a referendum then they would have just remained stupid, ignorant and racist.

It's quite possible Rudd has quit to avoid being voted out when the inevitable election happens over the next month or two.

Her majority was practically non existent and she was very lucky to still be an MP after the 2017 election.

I expect a few more will go as well.

The problem we are going to have as things stand is right now, the UK cannot do anything domestically let alone get Brexit concluded one way or the other.

The government party have a minority government of negative 45 or something, the opposition party's are made up of utterly useless labour clowns opposed to everything and anything, a nationalist party that would genuinely welcome the collapse of the UK and a load of minor party's who's sum achievements would fit on a pin head, with plenty of room to spare.

It can't carry on like this but we have cowards afraid of an election (nothing says you cannot reapply if you win the election even if Johnson takes us out...) And the government is run by maniacs. Hang them all on Pendle Hill.
And I’m affraid there are far too many Brits who (want to) believe this type shit. They are so ignorant & pig headed that they want the U.K. to crash out of the EU at all costs. They support an untrustworthy PM who’s totally unsuitable for the role. They don’t see Britain as being part of the European continent (maybe they should drag Britain towards America or something) and still live in some kind of nationalistic illusion that Britain is still a super power. This is why Boris & the Tories are heading for a massive victory in the election and why Britain is heading for a disaster. The country will fall apart, the divisions in society will become even greater and large portions of society are heading in to poverty. Democracy will be under threat and as a consequence a new World war is most likely. We’re heading for turbulent times my friends...

Rubbish you can blame many people for Brexit such as Corbyn who made no attempt at encouraging people to vote remain during the campaign to the idiots who have admitted they voted leave because the thought remain would win and they really wanted to remain .

Cameron was foolish to offer a referendum in this just as he was to give Scotland a vote for independence however like most people he never thought it would come to this as he dicnt expect to get a majority in the election only doing so because Ed Milliband was such a disaster .

So now we can blame Ed too and the idiots who elected him .

Throw in Farage and Boris and you will get closer but the truth is there are many people to blame not just one person who allowed morons to have a say in how Government works

“Corbyn and Miliband are as much to blame for Brexit as David Cameron” is a spectacularly galaxy brain take.

And people still wonder why the left won’t just simply lie down like good dogs and accept the natural order of sensible centrism.

Lots of blame to go around but he started this shit show. He shouldn't have been so arrogant as to use a referendum soley for internal political reasons.

I think there was a growing appetite for a referendum, and I think it would have become an inevitably at some point.

What is unforgivable is putting no safeguards on the result. The fact we are changing the very constitutional fabric of our country on a majority of 3.8% is insane. There should have been a requirement of a super majority.

It had been promised by all of the major parties for the last few elections.

You are completely right. The referendum was inevitable, it's just that there wasn't a threshold that was the main problem.

You unfortunately don't get to decide the meaning of words you don't like.

They are coward by definition.

Why would there need to be a threshold?

Sounds to me like you would have preferred an vote weighted heavily in favour of the status quo.

No threshold. No planning for either outcome. No detail.

Gross incompetence.

In the strategic world of politics. Calling someone a coward in this situation just doesn't cut it.

You're either extremely naive or trying to deflect from the current government's incompetence.

Corbyns been a vocal opponent of the EU for decades. His views were well established until he became the very thing he claimed to hate, career politician doing and saying anything to get the vote.

The government is without question impotent, not incompetent, it hasn't been given the opportunity to demonstrate its incompetence.

The opposition are cowards. They have been given the opportunity to demonstrate this.

Sod the appetite. There is an appetite for a referendum on capital punishment but we are a representative democracy for a reason.

It is impotent because it is incompetent and has been for a long time.

And your repeated schoolyard taunt of cowardice is ludicrous. An opposition isn't cowardly for not falling for an obvious trap.

You have to either be a complete moron or utterly deluded arrogant shitbag for facebanging a pig not to be the stupidest thing you have ever done :lol:

What utter shit! Do you seriously believe walking into a ge now, potentially taking power and having to start cleaning up the utter shitshow that scum like may Johnson and mogg have led us into is sensible? Why don't labour just bend over and grease up in the house of commons like good little Etonian first years while they are at it?

All this is because David Cameron thought he would not win a majority in the election and he would be forming a coalition with the Libdems who would reject his pledge to hold a referendum. To his utter disbelief he won a big majority and he was dead the moment he won it.

I believe these clowns have had 3 years and have achieved the sum total of nothing.

The government is both incompetent and impotent. They're intrinsically linked.

Your tenacity with the cowardice line, despite its obvious inaccuracy, is the only thing I can give you credit for.

Well yes, because any changes will be expensive to implement and idiots use the ballot to protest the government.

You will deny it because you're obviously a leaver but a lot of people voted to leave in protest of the Tories.


Edited as wasn't clear that I meant 'one of those people' as in will deny anything to do with brexit, rather than one of the idiots who voted to protest the Tories

I have no doubt it will be incompetent, given the chance, but as yet it's done nothing.

It's hands are tied, it's powerless.

As a country we effectively have no leadership at this point. How is anyone happy about that. All because it might prevent us leaving in October rather than January.

Successive governments I'd argue, not just Tories. Immigration was the major issue at that time and a lot of people blamed New Labour for that for their decisions in the mid 2000s.

Of course people used it as a protest vote. That doesn't change anything anymore than those who voted for the status quo because they feared change.

History is full of these types of voters.

Wow.

We are happy with how things are so let's keep things the same is the same as 'I hate how things are and I hate you and want you to know it'

We're screwing up the country based on the vote. There should have been a threshold to allow for idiots using the wrong forum to vent frustration.

They could demonstrate some competence by negotiating this Brexit deal they’ve been telling voters would be such a piece of piss to do since 2016.
