A disgusting way to classify the 17.4 million that voted leave.
Disgusting, but it seems to be true.No particular fan of our particular way of doing things, but if and when the EU becomes the unified political and economic entity it says it wants to become then the current mechanism for ‘selecting’ it top people will have to involve the European demos a lot more directly than it does now.
For example when the democratically elected national leaders of Italy, Germany and France are replaced at the UN and at G7 get togethers by a latter day Donald Tusk or a Luxembourger Lush type figure, it will no longer be acceptable for that leader to be a political appointee surely?
Saying that, perhaps in your ‘new Europe’ of the future that level of democracy will be the norm.
Why wouldn't the EU's UN representative be elected, say, the EU council (those same heads of state)?
You're making stuff up here.0 -
Any reason why you think targetted and personal abuse is required?
I presume you think calling 17.4 million racist and xenophobic is an accurate summary.
For years I've been called a traitor, a saboteur, enemy of the people and been told on several occasions to move to another country.
So what? Skin off my back.
But let me try to find that safe space for you...Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -

Let’s get rid and replace him with someone who has been democratically selected for the position instead. Maybe Ken Clarke or Harriet Harman?

Based on what data, remainers held a "are you a xenophobic racist" poll?mayonnaise wrote: »For years I've been called a traitor, a saboteur, enemy of the people and been told on several occasions to move to another country.

please link to any posts I have made where there this is the case. classifying a whole group of people based on the actions of a few seems like almost racist behaviour dont you think?0 -

IMO, it shouldn't be an MP.
This needs a well respected, fair, balanced and impartial pair of hands. Maybe Alastair Campbell?Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -

"Remainers" need Sturgeons support. Offering another Indy Ref.
Of course no one knows how the Labour "Sheep" MP's will vote should the need arise. Many are heading for deselection if there were to be an election. Corbyn obviously feels that Momemtum has done it's work at grassroots level.0 -

The whole situation becomes more absurd by the day. The Westminster bubble seems out of touch with life on the ground.0 -
