Corbyn is unlikely to get a general election now at least before March 29th so its Labour policy to support a second ref once Mays deal is toast then it doesnt matter what Corbyn thinks. 2. The EU have made it quite clear that Article 50 can be extended for a second ref or general election. 3. We can revoke article 50 ourselves now without any need for approval from the EU. 4. Parliament have more power and influence to "Take back control" :D of Brexit once Mays ridiculous deal fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want a dictatorship of far right extremism? That's Fascism. Quite what attracts you to populism i've no idea other than your open dislike for EU citizens coming to UK but to replace those who left we now have an increase in non-EU migrants, many of whom you will dislike even more as they will be the 'wrong' colour. Populism hasn't been going too well as Hungarians recently discovered with Orban attempting to introduce draconian punitive 'laws' to force people to work 400 hours a year overtime without pay due to finding themselves with a labour shortfall after chucking migrant labour out. Also from your own link; In Belgium, for example, the populist Flemish nationalist party Vlaams Belang has been in decline for a decade. And populist parties that enter government – and are, of necessity, forced to compromise on their promises – can find life hard. The Finns party, which joined Finland's ruling coalition in 2015 after winning 17.5% of the vote, has imploded and split in two; its two successor parties are polling at 10% and 1.5%. In Greece, Syriza has slid to 25% from the 36% that swept it to power in 2015. Support for the Danish People's party, which lends support to a minority centre-right government, has fallen from 21% in 2015 to 17%. And Ukip's popular backing has also fallen away spectacularly since Britain voted to leave the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Kirby Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Tombs is a Brexiter. He is seeking to discredit anyone who favours remain, and is raising old, class based, canards, to do so - while praying in aid his academic credentials. What a pseud! I am a Cambridge professor of history, French history, even, and Brexiter, so it follows that I know more about the intentions and attitudes of remain voters, and the reasons why they reject Brexit, than they themselves know. I also know that they are intellectual snobs who see (other, of course! :-)) Brexiters as an undereducated, working class, mob. How dare they exhibit (according to me, the Cambridge history prof) such appallingly elitist attitudes? Personally, I would never stoop to such depths. Ad hominem? You bet. Methinks Mr Tombs finds the argument not quite going his way! So, instead of arguing in favour of Brexit and all the benefits it will bring to the UK as a whole, he launches a series of personal attacks on those who favour remain, on the ground of their claimed intellectual snobbery, because if he can discredit them, he will also discredit their arguments. Classic! Verily hath Hell no fury like a woman scorned - except it be an academic scorned! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
