Who do people vote for?

Remainers will be split between the LibDems and Labour, so neither party will win.

Leavers will be split between the Tories and the Brexit Party, so ditto.

It may be a well and truly Hung Parliament.

Very interesting times indeed.

Wales will not be called England by most people, little englanders are not most people.

GracesGranMK3. Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate you taking the trouble. x

GracesGranMK3 Tue 03-Sept-19 13:29:47

In what way is is it "rubbish" Annie. You are just being rude not illuminating.

GracesGranMK3 Tue 03-Sept-19 13:27:23

wicklowwinnie your posts are white on my computer but mine are pink (I think the actual colour depends on your screen). It does help to spot your posts so you know where you were when you come back in.

The OP's (Original Post or Poster who wrote the title Post) show up in green so you can see those too.

I think we should have another referendum instead of an election. We cannot keep having different PMs as the country is just going down hill fast.

Anniebach Tue 03-Sept-19 13:22:54

Rubbish

GracesGranMK3 Tue 03-Sept-19 13:20:49

You have to put up with Wales being insulted, if you choose to see it like that, Annie. Once England and Wales stand alone - which I feel is sure will happen if we leave on no-deal - it will be called England by most people.

Thank you for your welcome GillT57, yes, I am new to this. I wonder if anyone can tell me why my posts have a mauve background instead of a plain white one? I am nearly 90 and new to the Internet as well.

OK;we will be Little England and Wales then [vassal states of America]….

Anniebach Tue 03-Sept-19 12:49:15

Labaik please stop insulting Wales, we are not a county of
England

Labaik Tue 03-Sept-19 12:46:24

We will be little England when Brexit results in an independent Scotland and a united Ireland...and yes, I do believe in this country and it's people and the way so many are fighting to uphold it's integrity at this moment in time makes me proud to be British...

Miche, we are not a great nation. The Celts will be off and who can blame them.

GillT57 Tue 03-Sept-19 12:25:44

Mrs May, like other MPs, is back in the HoC today as the summer recess ends.

Anniebach Tue 03-Sept-19 12:23:53

Seems Wales, Scotland and N.I . Are not part of the U.K

Miche Tue 03-Sept-19 12:17:31

Little England?
We are the United Kingdom or Great Britain
It’s about time we believed in the great nation we are instead of belittling this country.

Lessismore Tue 03-Sept-19 12:13:17

Just a thought where is Mrs May these days?

on holiday with Cameron.

Anniebach Tue 03-Sept-19 12:12:06

Little England ?

GillT57 Tue 03-Sept-19 12:09:08

Mossfarr, read my post again. I did not say those who voted to leave are not all idiots who didn't know what we were doing. I said that the campaign was run dishonestly by both sides, but if you didn't know what you were doing last time, you certainly should now, or do you not listen to experts?

Labaik Tue 03-Sept-19 12:07:10

'If there was the same result there will be another referendum until the remain result wins and we can become part of the United States of Europe instead of Great Britain'. As it stands we are set to become Little England, vassal state of America...[I know which one I prefer...]

Labaik Tue 03-Sept-19 12:05:09

It was interesting how a businessman on the Ch4 debate yesterday said he had voted Conservative all of his voting life but would be voting LibDem next time.

jura2 Tue 03-Sept-19 12:02:49

Mossfarr- did you know there would be No Deal? How?

Did you know about shortages of medicines, medical and care staff? How?

Did you know about ... all the things we know now and didn't then? Did you know Boris would become PM voted in by a minuscule % of the population? Did you know he woud gamble the country for his own advancement?

Blimey, how much for that Crystal Ball on E-Bay, hey?

sarahellenwhitney Tue 03-Sept-19 12:00:02

wicklowwinnie Exactly.The big .big ,big mistake being and not the publics choice was electing a remainer ie TM to get us out. We may!! as well thrown in the towel there and then. Just a thought where is Mrs May these days?

Mossfarr Tue 03-Sept-19 11:53:02

GillT57
We are still being told lies and much worse fearful projections now - and we still want to leave!
Why can't you accept that those who voted to leave are not all idiots who didn't know what we were doing?

There will not be another referendum.

Miche Tue 03-Sept-19 11:49:43

If there was the same result there will be another referendum until the remain result wins and we can become part of the United States of Europe instead of Great Britain

sarahellenwhitney Tue 03-Sept-19 11:49:02

Juel
Another referendum ?So what if? The 'if 'being and as before which you will recall was to LEAVE.
