    well the main reason is because of this post from trevor when i asked someone what they did for a living...

    I thought it a bit hypocritical.

    You look like the silly one now.

    Only a farce because and a remainer has been in charge of the negotiations and us leave voters got our arses into gear and went out and voted, that's the whole point of any election, once again we hear the losers in this case the remainers blaming all and sundry for the way the vote went, the best one being the young telling us oldies we've voted away there future, well get of your Xbox's and put your X on a piece of paper.

    It's been well debated on here mate, several have said it was Cameron's tilt at getting his anti Eurosceptics to tow the party line when the referendum results came through, there was also concern that in may continuances the UKIP party were getting a lot of support and were calling Cameron out to stick to his promise of a referendum.
    So he went to the EU and tried to get some concessions and got a flea in his ear and made to look a fool, we have never been asked as an electorate wether we wanted to get in deeper with the United States of Europe, that was not what we originally signed up for and the powers that be over the years feed us crap, thank goodness we didn't go down the road of joining the Euro and ditching the pound.
    Why should there be another vote we're adults not kids in a playground where when things don't go their way they come back with "best out of three", if MPs thought last night was a bit of a kick up the arse for the two main parties the European Parliamentary Election will send dozens of Brexit MEPs back to Brussels, and they are quite aware of that.

    Deselection doesn’t force by elections. Deselection is an internal party matter.

    Another set of idiots (like the Brexiter knobheads who like to shout about betrayal, democracy and will of the people) who think this is all just like a game of football, with winners and losers, no compromising whatsoever...This country is fecked, and it will be for a generation.

    They can not be deselected, they are no longer party members.

    So these honorable people aren't honorable enough to offer their their seats in a bye election and believe their constituents will vote them back in as my example Zak Goldsmith ?, "my honorable friend" bollocks

    I'm not sure that is the case I voted Labour because I liked what they were saying about re-nationalisation and they also promised to accept the referendum result.
    Well I certainly won't be voting for Judith Cummings again, as Bradford voted overwhelmingly to leave but she could not bring herself to accept that decision.

    You do make yourself look like a bit of a plum sometimes Bronco. Starting a thread when your knowledge on the subject is clearly very limited.

    Politics generally I would say they say what they believe you want to here, Farage is no worse, and if the two parties don't concoct a deal before we go to the EU elections that will certainly be lively, Farage and his Brexit party and the hard right from Germany, France, Italy, Poland and the rest you reap what you sow.
    Maybe whats these people in positions with the EU Parliament need a kick up the arse.

    Just go and read about his dodgy dealings, his meetings with Assange and what he did in the US elections with steve bannon. Why is it he can never face questions about certain aspects of his financing?

    You can hate the EU all you like but he is a snake oil salesman and I would be careful following him if i were you.

    If you're suggesting that Farage alone was responsible for the EU Referendum, I don't believe that is true.

    Eurosceptics within the Conservatives were more responsible for the referendum happening. Although Cameron had initially tried to contain Euroscepticism within his own party when he first became leader, he came under pressure as Euroscepticism within the Conservatives had grown by the time the EU Referendum was included in their manifesto.

    Farage or his party UKIP were certainly a big factor in Cameron committing suicide by offering a referendum to shut his anti EU back benches up, in many area's UKIP were getting very good backing from the electorate and if our system had been proportional representation UKIP would have had several MPs in Parliament.

    Cameron said he would get a deal from the EU that would satisfy most of the electorates fears with regards the likes of free movement ETC, the EU treated Cameron with contempt and he came back with a rather embarrassing deal (similar to Theresa Mays deal), in many cases the offer was only a temporary measure, so he went to the country with his referendum vote not thinking for one minute the UK electorate would vote to leave, and woke up with a massive problem on his hands on Friday morning, then had second thoughts and resigned, could anyone imagine Margret Thatcher bottling it, I was never a lover of her but after making a massive decision like that she would have seen it through.

    I am not saying UKIP/Farage were completely irrelevant but I am saying their role has been overstated and it has been overstated very often.

    By the time Cameron had included the referendum in the Conservative manifesto, the number of Eurosceptic Conservative MPs and candidates to be MPs had increased on what it had been when he first took charge of the party. Without the Eurosceptics within the Conservatives, the referendum would never been have been included in the manifesto.

    They're all in for themselves. Not one of them comes without any excess baggage, not a single one of them. Politics is changing in this country, the people have had enough. It may not be Farage that emerges as the eventual victor, I'll pretty sure it won't, but he's done enough to change the way we view the main parties in this country. And its needed badly, because even though we have the worst government in living history at the wheel, the only alternative as it currently stands is quite frankly laughable.
