You'll be able to quote where I said they were the same thing? I just did, in the very same post you quoted.

Re: Democracy under threat.
Why does Labour want to have a 2 choice second referendum, to either vote for the deal offered or to remain, why are they not asking if people want to leave without a deal? Probably because No Deal was nowhere on the radar in 2016, the country was promised a rather good deal if we left. No Deal onl...

Re: He fought the law, and the law won
So 11 unelected judges passed judgement that an unelected Prime Minister was unlawful. We live in a Democracy? In my opinion the judges crossed a line yesterday, we know nothing about them and their political persuasion. I believe this ruling is good for Boris and for Farage - because the referendu...

Apologies for any misinterpretation on my part, Ed - it just seemed as though you were suggesting he was somehow the root cause of all Germans' supposed predilection for warmongering.

Re: Democracy under threat.
That’s the unelected Prime Minister who’s just asked on two occasions to hold a General Election. And on both occasions, Remainer MPs blocked those attempts, explicitly because of their positions on Brexit. I personally believe all new, unelected PMs should mandatorily face a General Election withi...

The Leave Campaign persuaded me to dislike unelected bureaucrats . Example of an unelected bureaucrat = Dominic Cummings .

Re: Democracy under threat.
By hook or by crook springs to mind here. Didn't win the vote? No problem, just claim it was invalid or something. A majority voted to leave the EU in 2016. Despite what you keep saying, the possibility of No Deal WAS discussed and debated at the time, as shown in my previous post. This vote wasn't...

Which Leave organisations or major Leave individuals actively promoted (referred to) No Deal as their option prior to the 2016 referendum?

Watched a "Brexit debate" on I think channel 4 last night. The main argument anyone could put up for staying in was that "We did not vote for a no deal leave". Quite correct. Neither did we vote that we must have a deal to leave. We voted leave.Plain and simple. How can people use guess work,(yes, ...

Johnson’s overplayed his hand on this one. You can’t argue for the sovereignty of parliament and then suspend it because you don’t like what it says. He should have put his Brexit plans to Parliament, making them a no-confidence matter. And when Parliament rejected them (as they almost certainly wo...
