:eu: 5 former British PMs oppose Boris Johnson’s Brexit bill

[Kaninchen]

Having the backing of the electorate means he will get to represent
the will of the majority

Except the majority of people didn’t vote for him - ‘first past the post’ delivered his majority, not proportion of votes.

So, let’s have a list of his practical achievements in Government - all those supposed world-beating policies.

No rush, I live in the UK and it’s getting late.

Its got to do with voting for an individual or a party. Its the system used in Canada, Usa, Aust and the UK. If you feel strongly about PR system you could relocate back to Europe. Former Prime Minister Iain Duncan Smith says - " We can not go on allowing the EU to bullying us in these negotiations "

@Kaninchen lives in Europe.

Your mention of that failed politician IDS brought to mind this post, from my dangerous Lib-Dem neck of the woods:

The Conservative Party is following the doomed path of all revolutionaries

I am now a “LibDem nutter”. Apparently for backing a Treaty that Boris Johnson recommended to the British people only nine months ago. I nee...

But don’t let me take your mind off the job — that list of Mr Johnson’s practical achievements.

Or, on the other hand, I could just campaign for it in the UK.

Former Prime Minister Iain Duncan Smith says

Gosh, in what alternative universe was IDS Prime Minister?

Hint, it might help if you knew what you were talking about.

that list of Mr Johnson’s practical achievements.

To be fair, it’s a job needing a microscope.

It’s all going to get worse as the eagerness for people to blame - other than Brexit fanatics (ie all of them) themselves, obviously - grows exponentially.

We quake before a mind trained by a language course in Italy and a couple of days management training.

That Garden Bridge looks pretty good, though, doesn’t it?

I expect to bridge to Ireland will look almost as good.

Vicious waters there, I hear.

Vicious waters there, I hear.

The gigantic arms dump underneath the most feasible route (least idiotic route) is a bit of a drawback as well.

Never mind. I look forward to a time when Corona-19 is gone and forgotten and we can all jet off from Boris Island Airport.

The worst kind of Irish are those who make fun of the Irish

House of Parliament l

I assumed this was a misprint because there are two houses which collectively are “the Houses of Parliament”

But now you have also referred to IDS as a former Prime Minister, I think you need to do some googling about British politics if you want to discuss them effectively.

 

[Carmel]

Hi Maximian - Have a nice day

 

[ProVobis]

Silly old Theresa, eh?

Isn’t Cameron the one to blame if there is blame at all?

Since I have dual citizenship, I care very much as to what’s going on in Britain.

 

[PickyPicky]

Isn’t Cameron the one to blame if there is blame at all?

Cameron did tell the British people what a mess Brexit would be. The ones to blame are the ones who lied.

Maybe the U.S. can put up important issues for national referendum.
