So T May Changed Her Mind

[weecalf]

would it not have been fair for the government to give the good people a chance to change their mind on Brexit ..Why was an election called after it was made official Britian was leaving ,giving the people no second chance to decide after the way Brexit has been handled .

Ultimately the second chamber must allow passage as it's​ function is, when appropriate, to ensure government has a chance to reconsider (even if the issue has already been decided by the people anyway, the people that government are there to represent) not perpetually reject the lower chamber's decisions; so parliament has decided.

To think that just 20 years ago Blair wiped the floor with the Tories. They would be out of power for generations. 20 years later and they are cruisingfor a massive victory. Funny old game, is politics.

A week is a long time in politics. Two decades is forever and again.

//.In view of the stated intent of the Lib Dems and the SNP she really did not have much choice other than to call an election in an attempt to obtain a working majority.//

The LIMP DUMS & SCOTTIE FISH FACE have a lot to answer for

[Jackdaw33]

Scottie fish face? Hardly a gentlemanly way to refer to the poison dwarf!

[whiskeryron]

Sorry. Didn't realise you wanted the answer in Garlic.

LOL!!!

Changed her mind about what ? Holding a General Election ? What has that got to do with the established desire of the majority to want to get out of the European Union, save as a feeble excuse for some Remainers to moan again in a futile attempt to have their view forced on the country, despite having lost (and refusing to accept having lost) the referendum ?

“The people speak only counts when the government wants what they said”

The (then) government most certainly did not want a “Leave” result. It was the last thing they wanted and so confident were they that “Remain” would prevail that no plans whatsoever were laid to cope with it.

“52% of people, a majority, voted to remain. A minority voted to Leave.”

Can you check that one out, please Jim.

“// Parliament has already spoken on BREXIT and it said YES !//

that would be the House of Lords as well would it ?”

Yes it would, Peter. The HOL voted on March 13th to approve the Government’s Bill to invoke A50.

So back to the question, I’m not quite sure how the two issues are connected. The referendum is done. The question has been answered. Nothing has changed to require it to be asked again. Meanwhile the Prime Minister has called a General Election with the almost unanimous agreement of the Commons because that’s what Prime Ministers do.
