    Most Remainers and Leavers are pretty tied to their decision and resistant to anything that the other side offer in an attempt to change their mind. I've seen little from our MP's that Mark's them as much different.

    As a collective, they're not interested in leaving at all. How is there any debate over that by now?

    The majority of them are but that majority is split into several groups whereas ‘nah’ is obviously one combined block.

    If you just had the headbangers on the Tory side and a couple of Labour (who let’s note have several leave mps up north and a pro-Brexit/anti-eu Leader)swap over to Mays deal, it would have passed.

    Her genitalia has nothing to do with the phrase 'the majority doesn't want to leave' being incorrect.

    The majority of MPs didn't want to leave, but a large number are now pretending they are in order to save face/their jobs.

    Because 'Leave' is not a binary option where as 'Remain' is. It's not that complicated to get your head around.

    They are as [non-]binary as each other. What is the European Union going to look like in ten years? The entire status quo argument is wank.

    There was a vote on every single possible option after the 3rd rejection of the deal and none of them were accepted. Fuck being non-binary if you want to make something happen you are willing to be flexible.

    How many bollocks does your aunt have at this point?

    I've never been a Boris Johnson fan, but they probably need him at the minute as a sort of kill or cure candidate. Everyone else is either hopeless or would at the very least need some time to build their image up. 'Boris' is ready to roll.

    Aye, and I think he probably sees it as his last chance to lead. Kinda like how May stepped forward.

    I like how Warringah is now a "wealthy Sydney seat". Yeah, it's not fucking Cabramatta but that's a bit of a transition in the last 15 to 20 years. How many independents got in and would they have swung it for Labor (sic) had they not made the div choice?

    lol at Shorten.

    Poor and racist voting against their best interests like we have seen in America. Bob Browns invasion caravan really backfired it seems.

    Shame our environment is cooked.

    Edit: The finger wagging from the powder puffs in Melbourne reminds of Hilary and her plebs finger wagging at the rust belt states.

    The left may win an election somewhere if we could ever stop insisting that “people vote against their self interest.” No, people have been telling us what their interest is for decades with their votes. We’ve just decided to not care.

    It is a nice line to say to so called progressives who are quick dehumanise anyone who doesnt fall in line with their rigid world view.

    The Melbourne lot need to pull their heads in if they want progressives and the Labor mob in Queensland to have a chance at keeping the LNP out of Govenerment up here.


    Edit: Not only have they failed with their caravan they have also come up here and broken into slaughter houses and have occupied peoples private fucking property to protest.

    I'm sure there are reasons for beating the polls in general, but the exit poll, if done properly, should never be far off.

    The Milkshake thing and Prison Paul’s fear that, if he were to ever leave his house, he would be similarly milkshaked is very, very funny.

    These lot always go from “we’ll fight them on the beaches” to “no, not the milk!” When they actually have to face confrontation.

    Quite. They always cite freedom of speech when they actually mean freedom from consequence.
