I know that. I'm just saying that in Canada a party vote would not happen in Parliament, which is why it would not be called a Parliamentary vote. Because they're two different things.And our geese will blot out the sun.

As I already pointed out, PaulK did call it a Parliamentary vote in Message 360. The party vote didn't happen in parliament, and was not called a parliamentary vote.And our geese will blot out the sun.

No I am not. I understand the difference. Your post looked to me like the vote that was taken was a Parliamentary vote. Ringo you are still confusing two different votes.And our geese will blot out the sun.

Well, it wasn't clear to me. It seems pretty clear to me that the Parliamentary vote was the one that Corbyn was proposing as leader of the Opposition, not the Party vote that May had already survived.And our geese will blot out the sun.

But as I said, not to me. I can see that your post could be read that way. It seems pretty obvious to me....And our geese will blot out the sun.

Add a referendum....
Referendums are almost always a bad idea. It was an ill-advised referendum that made the mess in the first place.And our geese will blot out the sun.

I'd laugh if "Leave" got an even bigger majority.

I don't think the majority of those who voted last time understood the full implications.
I think many of those who voted for exit have been mischaracterized as xenophobes. I, for one, would have voted for exit because I've always thought the EU was a bad idea. I think the economic implications have been vastly exaggerated - i.e. they can not be predicted.
Like more than few thrump voters.
It looks to me like Trump's support is as strong as ever. I predict he'll win a second term (unless he can figure out a way to weasel out of running).And our geese will blot out the sun.

Is James Clavell still alive? He should write a book about this.

I can't speak for the UK but in Canada we prefer ineffective governments. A politician who breaks his promises is by far preferable to one who keeps stupid promises. ... do you guys not collapse ineffective governments anymore either?And our geese will blot out the sun.

I'm sitting at a computer terminal in a public library in the middle of nowhere - a.k.a. Canada. Somebody left a Zwei Euro Cent coin on the table. It's similar to a Canadian 1 Cent coin, which no longer exists. For me, this is the most interesting thing that has happened in the history of the EU.

I didn't keep it but as I recall (and looking it up in Wikipedia) it was probably the Austrian version with an edelweiss. Which logo do you have on the obverse?And our geese will blot out the sun.

It's the nature of the beast. In Canada, we got Pierre Trudeau in the same way and he was one of our best Prime Ministers. And voted for by an electorate of approx 0.2% of the population. Democracy in action eh ?All that are in Hell, choose it. -- CS Lewis That's just egregiously stupid. -- ringo
