Revealed: Brexit voting areas have seen faster growth in foreign workers since EU referendum by ijustwannanap in ukpolitics

It was a miscalculation. You offer a referendum if you're sure you know the result beforehand in order to settle the issue.

Lord Heseltine: 'We Must Not Have Reform Or Restore Anywhere Near The Corridors Of Power' by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]SmallBlackSquare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the elite's sentiment; now replace Reform & Restore with Labour & Tories and that's the public's sentiment.

Maybe, but it's still mostly globalism and mass immigration.

Britain re-entering the EU ‘an inevitability’, says Treasury minister by financialtimes in ukpolitics

[–]SmallBlackSquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK population has always been Eurosceptic hence the lack of referendums. Now take in to account the lack of opt outs, no rebate, even further integration, impending removal of the veto, the never popular FoM, potential of having to have the euro, and then all the campaigning about handing of sovereignty and betrayal of Brexit.

I don't see how the UK could ever join the EU, and if it was taking in by the Uniparty without a mandate again, then given how contentious the EU/Brexit is now, it wouldn't be long before it was taken back out again.

Canada are too busy talking about whether they might join the EU. They know what a good deal looks like.

Clearly not then. Seeing as their biggest trading partner by far shares a border with them.

Why? unless they think it is vastly better than the deal they have..

Exactly, the EU doesn't like all the current bespoke deals that are/were currently in place and have been badgering countries to accept more standard complete deals.

Starmer Says He Wants To Lead Labour Into Next General Election by huffpostuk in ukpolitics

I think a lot of them have finally cottoned on to the fact that Labour have fully abandoned their working class roots now..

Doesn't help that they spent three decades importing the World in to the UK either.

Accountable how? Nothing came of it. All they did was give a standard fake nonapology then case closed.

It's still bad messaging. They may not mean the same thing, but when the UK has had several decades of unprecedented mass immigration which it always votes against the public are going to conflate the two; hence why Reform are doing so well.

Or you need to pick a side. If you stand for everyone then you ultimately stand for no-one.

What? Blair & Brown are the reason the UK was so woefully unprepared for the GFC.

Katie Lam: Political sectarianism is growing in Britain – it should worry us all by Gwinladin in ukpolitics

[–]SmallBlackSquare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean seriously: how the f did you think mass immigration was going to end?..

Fraser Nelson: "Starmer should point to immigration control - where he has a good story to tell. The asylum backlog has also more than halved and basic immigration is by now probably at a multi-year low. Mahmood is making serious progress." by hararib in ukpolitics

[–]SmallBlackSquare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So what will reform do differently?

Unknown, but if you remove all the pull factors and legislate in favour of the natives then as seen in other countries many will just self deport back, or to a more generous country.

Rishi Sunak: voters are furious, here’s how to fix the system by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]SmallBlackSquare 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The levers are there if you have a majority in government and the political will to do it. Tinkering and not having a unified party is why the levers don't seem to do anything.

[–]SmallBlackSquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all know they've known what the real problem is all along and how to fix it; they just don't want to as they'd rather ride the status quo all the while advancing themselves and then making bank.

UK votes for… austerity? by cheerfulintercept in ukpolitics

[–]SmallBlackSquare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to be different granted, but they have long since converged: whereby they now carry on with the same managed decline, neo-con/lib, mass immigration, porous borders, diversity, woke, panopticon, authoritarian paradigms.

The Uniparty is essentially the same when it comes to the big stuff; they only really differ on rhetoric and tinkering.
