Political polls

[NasPb]

Just some polls

[Innovindil]

But why? 

 

It's fairly common knowledge that FT is majority remain/Labour voters. 

[urban.spaceman]

There's no option for "Originally voted remain but I'm fed up of ruddy hearing about it so just ruddy well get on with it"

[Carl the Llama]

Could do with an 'undecided/don't know' option on all 3.

I voted: "No" to a second referendum, "Labour" & "Remain".

 

In reality, if there were to be another referendum (still unlikely, I think), I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be another "Leave/Remain" vote. 

It would surely be "Yes/No" to the terms of the final deal negotiated by October.....and it's still unclear what the alternative would be if we rejected the terms negotiated:

- Stay in the EU (if allowed)?

- Send the govt back to renegotiate the terms?

- Leave the EU with No Deal?

 

Holding another referendum - particularly on Leave/Remain terms and particularly before a final deal was negotiated - could cause massive social unrest, probably including violence and even greater cynicism about democracy.

 

There's no way that a referendum could be organised and held before October, anyway. Even if parliament supported such a referendum (unlikely), the campaign couldn't happen before September or the vote before October.

 

If the govt collapses now, we'd surely be looking at another election, not a referendum (not until at least October, anyway, if ever).

Would be interesting then to see what happened with both main parties - massive divisions in both.

But is some unholy alliance of Tory Brexiteer MPs and Labour going to pass a no-confidence vote to bring down the govt before there's a final deal on the table? Unlikely.

 

Possible scenario: Brexiteer attempt to bring down May fails, possibly through the votes of pro-Remain Labour moderates (Corbyn might support a no-confidence vote). The EU would probably have demanded major changes to May's proposals anyway, but will be even more likely to do so now that Davis & co have started a full-scale civil war in the Tory party. So, come October, May comes back with either no deal or a very diluted Soft Brexit deal, her govt is brought down and we're into a November election?

It might (or might not) have that slant at the moment.

 

That certainly hasn't always been the case. I can remember polls where Leave and Tories came out on top.

Time for Rees-Mogg to stand up and get a landslide victory

[yorkie1999]

Why are we trying to do a deal with the rest of europe. If they want us to carry on buying their bmw's, mercs, cookoo clocks and paella they should be wanting to do a deal with us.

There are only two people on here that aren't Moosebreath, so it depends on his mood this month.

They did, it's the EU; which we're trying to leave.

No to a revote - it would just be wrong democratically - but I would vote remain.

 

Is there any party worth voting for?

 

Needs a new party but anyone other than LibDems would be foolish.

 

Would be nice if politicians sorted out politics and removed the lies, installed debate and worked together for a better society.

[Strokes]

1. Yes

2. UKIP 

3. Leave

[davieG]

This is like a Fan's Consultative Committee poll.

[Suzie the Fox]

1. No. We had a choice, we made it. Now to make it work. 

2. I don't vote as they are all as bad as each other (did chose Tory though, since there wasnt an option to not vote, and i think they are the best of a bad bunch.) 

3. Leave

Quite astonishing 50% want a second ref, 68% would vote remain yet the Lib Dems are stuck on 9%.

ASTONISHING

BREATHTAKING

except, it's not really, is it. 

[Ian Nacho]

Don't think it really matters who's in power. They'll end up ****ing something up.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

No point in a second referendum, we have democratically voted to leave. End of.

I want a second referendum so we can shithouse a win again, it would be hilarious.

It would be interesting to see why side Corbyn and May would campaign on
