wanna see my snake?
I'm starting to wonder if anyone could do worse than the current lot, 3 years to negotiate something that, if I remember correctly, should easily have been done over lunch?

I'm proper chilled, finding it hilarious to watch Labour refusing a GE after 2 years constantly asking for one. They are terrified of the ballot box, unlike the majority of voters.
My anger is towards those who were eligible to vote but were too apathetic to get off their backside, go to the voting station and put a tick in a box.
If you don’t vote, it absolutely means that you can’t complain about the result afterwards.
Sorry but NO.
I suspect your right. The thing is that the many of the leavers resolve has hardened. We want out whatever the cost! We haven't come this far to let us to be fobbed off with an half arsed compromise.
It’s not entirely impossible that after years and years of bullshit and seeing that no matter who was in power it felt like it was all the same (though obviously that has shown itself to be false, I can certainly see why some didn’t, and actually I suspect quite a lot of people didn’t even really understand the referendum in the first place - and those who wanted to Leave had no reason to educate them, as they’re actually more likely to vote for the status quo.
I voted in everything more recently (ref, local election for council, GE, etc) because I very much want a blue purge. I didn’t vote in the GE that put Cameron in though, and I regret that.
Sorry but that is just excuses, excuses.
How old are you?
Have you studied history?
Do you realise how privileged we are to be able to vote locally?
Some countries walk 5 miles to vote.
In this country, century’s ago, women couldn’t vote at all.
It’s a cop out to say that your vote doesn’t make a difference.
Even voting tactically is better than not voting at all.
And your last comment to say that people didn’t understand the referendum. Well yes, I get understand that a huge number of people didn’t actually research the information that was available to them.
But if perhaps people had taken time to look deeper and ask questions then they may have voted differently.
But that’s assuming that people have a mind of their own.
They are the only constant in these troubled times, do don't go blaming them.Status Quo No.
OMG, that is bloody awful!
The 2015 GE was the first one I was eligible to vote in.
A considerable amount of the now able to vote population has only seen a recession and austerity in the “politically aware” lifetime. So it’s not surprising that a lot of those people are pretty apathetic
We want out whatever the cost!
It's barely a single century ago that the first woman voted in the UK.In this country, century’s ago, women couldn’t vote at all.
Fame at last for King Marwood and his Doxey ghetto
