Re: Taking the piss out of politics
The destination (our future trading arrangements) will be 'a lot' of impact on the next 30 years - and none of us have been asked that question.
Re: Taking the piss out of politics
I wonder how many women might be tempted to vote Labour because of this ?
"Labour has promised compensation to more than three million women who lost out on years of state pension payments when their retirement age was raised, if it wins the general election.
Shadow chancellor John McDonnell said the pledge would settle a "debt of honour" to women born in the 1950s.
Those expecting to retire at 60 were told they would have to wait years longer when changes to the state pension age were accelerated in 2010.
Labour said its promise may cost £58bn."

Re: Taking the piss out of politics
A second referendum would have been far more appropriate than an election. The reason there is not a referendum is because the result would almost certainly be remain. The Brexshiteers have far more chance of getting it throgh with an election because of the Corbyn factor.jLurcher300b wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 1:26 amSo you agree that we should have a second referendum then?Equally bad are those who make up their mind and never change it, circumstances can change and wise people can re-evaluate their viewpoint.

Re: Taking the piss out of politics
90 minutes after voting has closed, the score is Labor 2, Conservatives 1.
If this were a football match, Labour would win - unless the Conservatives could score in extra time.

Re: Taking the piss out of politics
The worst Labour result for almost a century. The people voted for Brexit, they haven't wavered.
