Brexit deal rejected again

[SammyInnit]

Maybe this discussion is not for you.

That's one way to say you can't answer.

I wasn't particularly bothered because I didn't vote off the back of a slogan on the side of a bus...

...and that's the point.

So why did you vote to leave? Something over time or something you saw that tipped your point of view?

I haven't been asked a question.

You are not comfortable with JD repeating the bus thing and I don't blame you.

Oh here we go.

 

[SirGalahad]

Yes we do.

You've misinterpreted what I'm saying. It's not that I'm uncomfortable with it, I just find the idea baseless and ridiculous to suggest 17m people voted based on a slogan on a bus.

He can repeat it as much as he likes, he's just silly for doing so.

It was actually one less than 17 mill apparently.

Well leavers overwhelmingly believed the claim to be true and leavers it seemed believed a lot of myths.

Leave supporters are more likely to hold incorrect beliefs.

We've had some on here who cling to the "straight bananas" myth.

You mean 42% of a study based on 2200 people.

Should you want to look at specifics it was in fact labour leave supporters who by majority believed the claim which I find a little amusing.

Overall 58% either didn't know or didn't believe the claim, I don't think it's fair to say leave voters "overwhelmingly believed the claim" when in fact the majority didn't know or didn't believe it, so it's highly doubtful it would have played a part in their decision making.

Let's not forget to mention that remain supporters (even though a lower amount) still held the same incorrect beliefs.

Correct: Quitters are trés gullible. Poor sods.

Sounds like JohnD is twisting the figures. He would make a good headline writer for the Daily Mail

Incredible, after being told many times it is false, just how many (Notch included probably) how many still believe the straight banana myth.

Gullible Quitters hungry for bulls hit.
