May vs Corbyn TV debate 12:18 - Nov 27 with 8774 views | westwalesed | She knows she won't get it through the Commons and in my view is laying the groundwork for a General Election campaign, same as this nationwide tour and "selling it to the country". | |

May vs Corbyn TV debate on 20:49 - Nov 27 by Catullus | Now I would argue Cameron created the mess by calling the referendum when there was no plan in place in case of a leave vote. May had nothing to look to, nothing to fall back on, true she didn't help herself but then, who in the party helped her? They were all to busy fighting each other and arguing over the result. It wasn't just the leavers she was trying to appease, it was the remainers too, she's had Hammond contradicting her at every opportunity, it can't have been easy. I would say she almost ran the worst campaign in modern history because she still managed to beat Corbyn, he did slightly worse because any decent opposition campaign should have blown her completely away. That strong and stable BS she spouted, she became a parody of herself. Without Cameron calling the referendum none of this mess would have happened. Indeed if Cameron had done a better job of negotiating his new deal he might even have put remain in a winning position. Instead he came back spouting platitudes and gave leave more ammo. Calling the referendum made all of this mess possible. |
Well I disagree with about 70% of that for the entirely factual reasons I’ve already outlined but each to their own take on things I suppose. | |

May vs Corbyn TV debate on 21:54 - Nov 27 with 1233 views | Dr_Winston | So you'll have May, a lifelong Remainer, arguing for leave (or whatever joking version of it she's cobbled together) and Corbyn, a lifelong Leaver, arguing for remain just because a big chunk of his electorate want to. Can't wait. | |

You're as bad as May Pikey. She said once that no deal was better than a bad deal. You seem to have completely forgotten the word no deal in your countdown. Bloody pair well met you two. [Post edited 28 Nov 2018 9:46]

On Cameron calling the Referendum - I actually have some sympathy for him with this. (Hear me out) 1) Had the EU not told him to go swivel when he tried to renegotiate the terms of our membership, we would not have had a Referendum at all. Had they listened to the legitimate concerns of many (just over half it seems) of the UK electorate, we would not have needed to Brexit at all. 2) He was attempting to settle the question once and for all. Had Remain won, we would be going headlong into a United States of Europe and if that's what the electorate wants it is what they want. 3) Yes, it was his policy to have an EU Referendum. But that was specifically Conservative Party policy at the 2015Election. They won that election with a majority. They were enacting their manifesto AND the House of Commons legislated for it by a majority of 6 to 1. So almost ALL MPs supported a referendum, not just Cameron. | |

Agreed the Conservative Party may well split over this - which I would welcome, I might have somewhere to go. As a Leave voter I have no party to get behind at the moment. If there was a moderate, Centre-right Leave party that would be me. I can't abide UKIP and their recent lurch to the far right with Tommy Robinson etc makes it impossible to get behind them. . | |

Scotland voted to remain, rubbish - its a uk wide vote. Right then - shall we have Comrade Nicola in the debate, no its a uk wide debate and Nicola only represents Scotland. Mind blown.

May vs Corbyn TV debate on 19:20 - Nov 27 by exiledclaseboy | I don’t agree that she didn’t create it. Ok, she didn’t call the referendum but she’s the one who took over as PM spouting inane “Brexit means Brexit” and “red, white and blue Brexit” platitudes. She’s the one who invoked Article 50 without having any kind of coherent strategy for what happens next. She’s the one who set unustainable amd unachievable “red lines” at the start of the negotiation process to appease the swivel eyed loons on the hard right of her party. She’s the one who called an unnecessary general election and then proceeded to oversee the worst campaign in modern history to blow a 20 point lead and an existing overall majority in the Commons. About the only part of this mess she can’t be blamed for is the referendum itself. The hopeless position in which she now finds herself, however, is entirely of her own making. |

You can't give an opinion like 'any decent opposition campaign should have blown her completely away' and then say your reasoning is factually based. You may be right, you may be wrong, but that observation is based on opinion, not fact. Going into that election, weren't the Conservatives overwhelming favourites to strengthen their majority? | |

Overwhelming favourites and the Conservatives increased their vote share by 5.5% to over 42%. But the vagaries of our FPTP system resulted in the Conservatives losing 13 seats and Labour gaining 30. Labour vote went up almost 10% - I think in the main because many left leaning people switched their vote to Corbyn to ensure that we didn't have a Conservative landslide. | |

Corbyn was and remains a Euro-sceptic every bit as vehement as Rees Mogg. The noises emanating from Labour about accepting the debate challenge are largely coming from those who want rid of the hapless clown, those close to him surely know his appearance is a disaster in waiting. | |

You don't have to complain about FPTP to me, should have been scrapped years ago. While I'm posting, I'd like to say I've enjoyed your posts in recent days on Brexit. My stance differs from yours, but you seem to have a considered view of the situation and make good points. Which is a far cry from the likes of Pikey, Jango and the unmissed DGT/Peneemunde. | |

I don't know about that ed. I think the Tories not actually having a manifesto and resorting to using vacuous sound bites like 'strong and stable' (absolute dictionary definition of irony in retrospect) and 'we're not Jeremy Corbyn' may have also been a factor in that regard. And then hoping the press would do the rest. Tell a lie, I just remembered their Alzheimer 'home equity release' policy. That was probably the highlight, in retrospect. Lovely. | |

I'm actually a supporter of FPTP ( I think the link between a constituent and "their" MP is vitally important for accountability) and we had a Referendum on Voting reform some years ago under the Coalition. I'm not in favour of revisiting Referendum results as you can imagine. LOL. Thanks for the compliment. I took my decision to vote Leave very, very seriously. I knew it would have serious ramifications for the country and that the (theoretical) benefits may not even affect my life but would (hopefully) affect the next generation down. | |

I agree it was a catastrophic campaign by the Conservative Party, but then as pointed out, their vote actually went UP not down. Bizarre isn't it? | |
