observer Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 I don't "expect" the political Parties to do anything; especially those that have been around for some time. That doesn't preclude folk from voicing alternatives - everything has to start with ideas, if there are any. In the post-referendum world the political landscape has changed, so wise Parties will adapt to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 The problem with the democratic system is that ,apart from the referendum , the number of voters turning out at elections is so low as not to represent the true wishes of the population. There will still be the moaners who rant on about the state of the country for five years ,conveniently forgetting that had they voted the political map could be completely different.

observer Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Perhaps the referendum has taught folk that their vote can count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 So much for the "experts" who warned against Brexit: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/07/28/imf-admits-disastrous-love-affair-with-euro-apologises-for-the-i/ In other news, countries on every continent fall over each other to make trade deals with the UK. Who would've thunk it? Well not PJ obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 How many deals have we signed and how many are superior to the present EU deals? Any idiot can make a deal, making a better one is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazj Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 we aren't allowed to sign any deals yet... we are still in the EU aren't we? In fact we aren't actually having any official negotiations on trade deals as again we are still in the EU.... it is mostly other countries saying they want to make deals with the UK as soon as we leave...

observer Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 As long as none of the "new" trade deals involves paying in a net surplus of cash to bail out basket case economies and accept their immigrants for the privilege - things should be O.K. !

asperity Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 PJ, Ithink the point is that making trade deals with the EU is taking so long the rest of the world see Brexit as an opportunity to bypass the bureaucracy as regards trade with the UK as a start.
