Theresa May condemns Tony Blair's new Brexit vote call - Polidicks

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46582705 Mrs May said: "For Tony Blair to go to Brussels and seek to undermine our negotiations by advocating for a second referendum is an insult to the office he once held and the people he once served. She added: "We cannot, as he would, abdicate responsibility for this decision. "Parliament has a democratic duty to deliver what the British people voted for." She added that there were "too many people who want to subvert the process for their own political interests - rather than acting in the national interest". Jesus not seen May speak like this before

"Parliament has a democratic duty to deliver what the British people voted for." Because the Conservatives really give a shit about the British people.

That democratic duty bullshit just fucks me off so much whenever it's repeated. A) A mandate is either democratic or unchangeable, it cannot be both, so by saying it's democratic you are admitting it can change. B) What is fair and democratic about massive campaign finance violations, ties to Cambridge Analytica and misleading and dishonest campaigning points? She obviously has to be on the attack right now, she needs the backing of the British public. Which she won't get.

Strong language for a bunch of people trying to bury our country.

"Parliament has a democratic duty to deliver what the British people voted for." Says the witch who used a non-binding referendum based on a tissue of complete lies, brought into play as a political weapon by a lame duck who was afraid of his opponents getting political mileage over him.

Meanwhile... Leave the EU without a deal in March 2019.

the whole "what the people wanted" thing irks me, 52% voted yes, 48% voted no, so their logic, which they've argued before, is that the 52% of people voted to totally leave the EU and sever all ties and they should get that, but what about the 48% that voted to not do that? this isn't a binary choice, they should be taken into account on what britain's position is in the EU, but then they go on and on about the people's will, 52% is pretty damn inconclusive about the people's will on such a huge broad action like brexit. it should never have been a simple majority, that was setting this up to pass even from the beginning because they can and did promise the moon and give people many different versions of brexit.

Don't forget played a tactical revote then spent a billion on buying a majority government.

Yeah I liked this sentence in the article The government is also opposed to any further referendum, saying the public made a clear choice when they voted in 2016 to leave by a margin of 51.9% to 48.1%.

I'd say the fact that it was so close is a clear statement by the public that a full Brexit is unwanted.

no see those 52% should get everything because that's what the people making the deal want too, and to hell with the 48% that didn't want freedom!

So is Corbyn going to file for no confidence or what?

A referendum should not be a binding document in any way. It's a reflection of what the population thinks at the time. If you did a referendum 10 years ago and still held to the results today you'd be an idiot. What should have happened is: We have a referendum which gauges what people think of the EU, and how much they actually know about the EU. If a majority says "we should leave" while also not showing any understanding of what that means for their position in the single market, or the border issue, then the backlash to the referendum should be "Oh shit, we've really fucked up our educational standards and public transparency, we should work on that." not "Let's drink battery acid"...

Why does May have such a hardon for leaving the EU anyways?

Because the Tories won't let her live it down if she doesn't. She's too much of a bitch to sacrifice her reputation for the good of the country.

they did hold a referendum in the 70s and the population overwhelmingly voted for the EU

Blair's a war criminal that can fucking do one tbh

Translation: "STOP DISAGREEING WITH ME REEEEEEEEEEEEE" Shut the fuck up and grow the fuck up. Nobody wants your bullshit, May.

It's a justified criticism to be made, but the very last person that should be making it is Blair. The guy that massacred Iraqui children without even consulting Parliament should not be talking about "democracy" in any form.

Yeah, I am sure Blair does want us to remain in the EU, but for the wrong reasons.

he's waiting for may to come back with the exact same deal again and humiliate herself a second time to 100% make sure she goes

So does Britain have any good politicians? I never hear you guys say anything positive about any of them.

Corbyn, but even then he's not that great. Like the guy is genuine, he thinks before he acts or speaks, he has principles that he strictly adheres too, but he's not exactly a model and not exactly someone we'd all agree with. I respect him nonetheless, but I do wish there were more like him, and better ones too.

There are probably some decent ones buried in there somewhere but the ones that matter are all cunts.

Option 1) Bust your ass and humiliate yourself for months unwittingly pushing the agenda of a hostile foreign power Option 2) nah

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, it feels here. It may be for bad reasons, but he still wants to stay.

Blair trying to become relevant again, he isn't PM but is trying to act like he's still up there. His time has come and gone.

Boilrig trying to get attention again, he isn't even British but is trying to act like he's over here.

There are the odd one or two, but they are the exception, not the rule. The problem being that the longer you're an MP the more corrupt you become as you become entangled in the system and lose sight of why you became an MP in the first place. To get anywhere near the position of power, you have to backstab other people and by the point you're appointed to the cabinet your heart has become as dark and your soul eviscerated.

Honestly the biggest threat towards the People's Vote are electorally toxic politicians like Blair and Rudd coming out in favour of it.
