    If the people of Britain vote for a permanent right of centre govt, why are you against Britain having a permanent right of centre govt?

    Have you chucked the towel in on your ambitions of power like the rest of the left wingers?

    If the EU was dominated by right of centre parties, and the U.K. had a left wing govt who had no voice in the EU, would you be banging the drum for a brexit so that we could implement policies more to your liking?
    Or is it just that you don't like anything right of centre?
    Yes thats right.... I don't like much that's right of centre. A Labour Social Democrat voting for Brexit is like a turkey voting for Xmas. Farage, Johnston, Gove, Ian Duncan Smith etc have nothing to offer me. I have fought them or their types all my life. I'm hardly going to change now. Its no suprise all the Unions are for Remain. The prospect of an alliance between UKIP and the Tory right is rather worrying imo.

    yes so you have disliked the result of democracy all your life and see no reason to change now.

    Afternoon my little troll. I was talking about the future scenario of Brexit govmt. Just saying the prospect of looney tunes little Englanders steering the tiller brings me out in a cold sweat.

    The left has never valued democracy which I guess is why Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott think that socialism is worth 45 million deaths in China, the gulags in Soviet Empire and why they support the madman in Venuzeula who is destroying his own country.

    If brexit happens, then the government will be elected by the people whom you despise.
    find a better system : but you already have 'dictatorship of the poletariat'

    This bunch portraying themselves as cheerleaders for the common man, as guardians of workers' rights and saviours of the NHS, that has to be the biggest irony of this whole campaign. :D
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Yes I understand that. But why do you lot have so little confidence in your position that you believe you will never be able to dislodge them?

    How can you hope to pursuade the wider electorate to support you with such self defeatism?

    Slagging off farage for being a nut job is all very well, but he's a nut job that's done a hell of a lot better than the left at getting his message across and building a support base.

    If we leave they are few countries that might come with us, including Germany. As they are very ticked off merkel in welcoming in 1m people and why should they always be propping up other countries like Greece
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring
  • If David C and his lot are saying that the UK is not strong enough to stand tall in the world as a free, independent and sovereign nation - then I don't believe it. We are the fastest growing economy in Europe and we're outstripping all the major countries except America. Our achievements have come despite belonging to the EU and not because of it. The decision is yours, but I will be voting OUT.......

    The Italian Banking collapse will make the Greek collapse seem like a picnic
