Interesting talk and interesting times. I think this also applies to a lot of other topics where people think in categories rather than understanding the other parties position. But understanding is the basis for finding a solution everyone can live with.
Thank you for your excellent talk. As a US Citizen the one absolutely magnificent observation about the whole Brexit issue is the amount of eligible voters that turned out to vote in the referendum. I seem to remember that 71% ( Not 100% sure) of eligible voters turned out to support one side or the other. You should be proud of that.
Economic prosperity is the common ground to unite people in the UK and fight for a better future for everyone. Jobs, education, NHS and welfare can only be paid for by UK being prosperous, and right now the UK is amassing debt and people are losing jobs and suffering from welfare cuts. At the moment there is a very wealthy elite who benefit from tax cuts of the Conservatives, while the vast majority of the General Public are divided and bickering over Brexit, the people have suffered the consequences of the savage Conservative public service cuts and austerity and bailing out the financial crash brought on by the bankers. Brexit is not the answer to a prosperous UK, it never was the answer.
Absolutely right. The Tories have wrecked the economy, caused a homeless epidemic, more child poverty, an underfunded NHS in crisis etc etc etc and yet they’ve been voted back in again because those who desire a change, think the EU is to blame, not the very party responsible. It’s quite astonishing people can be conned and groomed into voting for more poverty. Unbelievable in fact. We now have a dictator in power. I’m not sure I agree that we won’t see people taking to the streets because we will, if our democracy is threatened by dictator.
The reason the conservatives have to do the cuts is because of labour. It’s labour that get the country into outstanding debt and then its the conservatives who have to try and fix the country
@@reecemcbride4804 The UK Government has been Conservative since 2010. You cant blame Labour now. The debts have grown under the Tories from 74% of GDP to 84% of GDP. From £1.7m in 2009 to £2.4m in 2019
I think you got it right in the first minute. The people want Brexit but parliament does not, the excuse being 'Parliament is sovereign', bollocks!!! Parliament is made up of people that represent their constituents and if the people want to leave the EU then it is the duty of every MP to act as the voice of that need. Yet MPs think they know better and are playing a dangerous game with ‘democracy’. The ‘People’ are sovereign in a democracy and I somehow feel that in the mother of democracies MPs are soon going to realise that. Interesting times.
Superb talk Tor. It’s the first time I’ve heard positivity when Brexit is being discussed. Very proud to have known you. X

The people want Brexit = 1/2 the people want Brexit, 1/2 the people don't.
Like the man said: Compromise!
