Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

Most likely what happen here, were people were tired of the EU mis- management so voted for BREXIT
Is happening in America and voting for Trump, regardless of all the careless comments he does, but at least promise some change

P 74426---For someone who can't be bothered to get off his backside and vote you appear to want a lot of information.

May can't just call for a general election. We have a fixed term parliament which no longer allows the PM to simply call for new elections. There has be agreement of 2/3 of MPs or a no confidence vote in the government for new elections to be held before 2020.

Rosie,
"but at least promise some change"
So did Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini, Tito, Stalin, etc.
All appealed to the rabble.

Fred , you missed out Corbyn.

I am not as certain about Corbyn as you are.
At the moment the labour party appears a rabble and largely due to a part of it had it nose put out of joint and couldn't accept the election of Corbyn as leader.
The reason for his election appeared to be smart-arsed "in fighting" action of many who thought themselves as the elite of the Labour party and put him forward as a candidate.
I would suggest to them that they start thinking and arguing about policies rather than trying to destroy personalities.
The labour supporters and voters appear disillusioned and apathetic and disconnected from politics as it is practiced at the moment,
That maybe one of the reasons for emergence of the "loony parties" and they appearance of strength.

" That maybe one of the reasons for emeregence of the "loony parties" and

Yes those who now look on the establishment parties as not representing them,
and who feel disenfranchised, will look for alternatives to represent them, as
they see the present two party system of Labour and the Tory's as not being much
different from each other, and that in particularly the Labour party no longer
go anywhere near representing their core voters beliefs anymore..
And as the evidence is now showing, there needs to be another populist party
to represent the disenfranchised and to look after their political aims and beliefs.

I wasn't touting for any tidings from you fred, you wern't in the 17.4 million
LEAVERS, who ignored the threats and scaremongering from the elites and to
defy ALL those who were supposed to represent them in the form of establish-
ment cronies...

Approx 37% of an ill informed electorate of the UK voted to leave.
I.e approximately 1/3rd.
I would like to see the plans of the promised land, rather than listening to the excuses being given for austerity carrying on for another 10 years or so.
It would be whimsical if it wasn't so sad.
Looking from the outside, I am told, it looks like over grown schoolboys blustering with poor negotiating abilities and behaving like football hooligans wanting their ball back and threatening to break up the party for others if they don't get the own ways.
What do Fauxpage and Trump have in common.
They appeal to the rabble.

Just keep telling him the percentage was 52% for LEAVE, that's the only percentage
that matters....

You obviously otherwise you wouldn't be so worried about it Fred.
Think it might matter to the UK and Europe too and President Obama but what would I know.

It looks like the markets are going to be pumping the indices up before the
US elections, just like what happened prior the eu referendum with stocks and
the gdp exchange rate where it was pumped up in expectation that the vote
would be to 'remain'..
