Getting the Brexit message across to Britain's Political Parties

[The Baker]

Trying to get the message across to the Labour, Liberal and Conservative Polotitions is difficult.

The thing all MPS fear most is loosing the seats.

If they see the membership of UKIP continuing to increase there will come a point where the Labour and Conservative elite will realise they could be out of a job.

Going on marches or signing on-line petitions is all very well, but the fact that people who voted to leave the EU are so disappointed/angry with the way the "negotiations" have be handled that they are prepared to put there hand in their pocket and pay to join a Political Party which gained 4 million votes in a recent General Election is a way of saying "Ignore us at your peril" and non of the current Political Elite will be able to ignore it.

Remind me, how many UKIP candidates were elected to be MPs in Westminster at the last General Election?

The polls suggest they're rising. Quite a way to go but I think they're at their highest since the referendum.

It's still very very low!
..... I really think they will stay that way.

Only way they may come back is if Brexit does not happen ?? (may be)

 

[JohnD]

the anti-EU demographic (like the pro-Conservative one) does have a problem with things that take time.

photographer put the youngest (!) ones at the front.

It's great to see old people getting out and having a hobby. Shame it's "being anti-foreigner" though.

But should they be stunting the country's future for the young people who will have to live here?

Just think of the unnecessary cost and inconvenience of becoming members of our natural alliance again.

The majority of 'the young people' just couldn't be arsed anyway. Completely dismisses what you're saying about 'stunting the figure' for them if they don't care enough to vote anyway.

I'd take your point on board a little more willingly if it were not for the pretty common knowledge by this point that younger voters just didn't bother. Amazing how they're most likely to be affected down the line but were least likely to have voted.

I'll add, the old 'anti foreigner' crap is getting boring; easy stick for you to grab for but it won't change the outcome. Parroting it like those who voted for leave actually care is pointless.

It might have been the youngest who voted overwhelmingly for Remain as a share of votes (73 per cent of those age 18 to 24), but it were also the youngest age groups who had the largest share of the electorate that decided not to vote. Among the 18 to 24 year olds 64 per cent abstained, which in turn reduces the total share of the electorate voting for Remain in that group to 26 per cent, with those who voted Leave being 10 per cent of all registered electors aged 18-24.

So in the spirit of democracy, you would support another referendum, giving those young voters a chance to have their say?

No, I thought not. Democracy is not really the objective, is it?

They had a democratic chance before. They shouldve left the wine bar for half an hour to go and vote
