I think you are a realist, tbh.

We do not know what horse trading went on behind the scenes, but one can be sure that for “Remainers”, party label is irrelevant. Many of these chameleons can flit between parties with very little difficulty. Their only allegiances are to globalism, progressivism, socialism. And they are very well funded.

I suspect that if there is an election today, the Brexit party could do very well, but the establishment “conservatives” would rather lose and give the Commons to Corbyn, perhaps with a secret back room deal that Corbyn not push too much socialism.

Disappointing but in no way surprising. We are in a decades old culture war. If we want to win, we have to look long term. That means getting our children out of government schools.

The U.K. made a grave error when they signed their sovereignty over to the German-controlled EU decades ago. The goal of the EU has always been to eventually build a United States of Europe. And that is but one stepping stone toward world government that elites around the world have been plotting for generations.

They will never leave the EU. Once you cede your sovereignty, you don’t usually get it back. It will take a civil war and war with the EU/Germany to do it now.

Did anyone notice the headline at the top of the link site? Italy is now moving back into the EU camp. The anti-EU movement is fading. Europe is self-destructing as fast as America is...

Fox Business is reporting that the Commons has approved a bill that blocks Brexit without a deal. The only option for the PM now is to call for early elections. Parliament clearly doesn't care how the people vote on Brexit. Some of the Members of Parliament need to be reminded of British sovereignty if there are enough patriotic Britains left.

What for, as America proves frequently it doesn’t matter. People get to decide what it says. Liberals/leftists will determine what it means.

I saw that too. They are well on their way to defeating Boris. The British people are disarmed and have no real way of stopping anything. I would still be marching and letting them know my true feelings, however.

Evil is taking control. Agree with a comment above too, USA hasn’t done one thing to rein in the traitors in DC. Nothing at all.

DC and London just laugh at all of us real people. Laugh. We are a joke to them.

Sinn Fein holds 7 seats but they don’t take their seats because they won’t swear an oath to the Queen.

The problem is, that Boris himself, is ‘wobbly’. There are VERY few REAL conservatives in either the UK and (even fewer in) Kanadahar.

You are presuming that BJ is not deep state himself. Heard an interview with Farage, in which he said that BJ wants a deal with the EU, only minimal re-tweaking of May’s “deal”, which deals are worse than what they have now with the EU! In other words, stay with us on current terms, or get downgraded and still lose sovereignty.

Civil war may be the only solution at some point.

Right now the elitists and globalists don’t care what referendum you pass or which leader you elect. They will still block you and maintain power.

Democracy is an illusion.

Rural Ontario, the Prairies, and Alberta are certainly outgunned by TOronto-Montreal-Vancouver-Ottawa (actually, we probably aren’t out-gunned). That said, the parliamentary system in Canada makes it difficult for anyone who is not head of the majority party to have a meaningful opinion.

Surprise! I forgot I had heard rumblings that he was not going to do what the people wanted at all. I discounted that article.

The enemy in this case is being predictable.

I can see it now: a pretend “Brexit”, followed by economic dislocation, followed by a second vote to return, hat in hand, to beg the EU to allow the UK back in as a full member.
