"Shouldn't this be in the Politics Forum?" I just posted a thread about this there. | |||
"I'm not sure why they're still in business, now that we've had the referendum. "Still need to keep the pressure on the government to deliver Brexit for the 52% who voted Leave. | |||

"I'm not sure why they're still in business, now that we've had the referendum.
Still need to keep the pressure on the government to deliver Brexit for the 52% who voted Leave. "As no one on the leave side provided any suggestions on the details the ball is now in the tory court which is getting larger with new ukip defectors | |||
"I'm not sure why they're still in business, now that we've had the referendum.
Still need to keep the pressure on the government to deliver Brexit for the 52% who voted Leave.
As no one on the leave side provided any suggestions on the details the ball is now in the tory court which is getting larger with new ukip defectors"UKIP defectors will help to give more influence to deliver a hard Brexit within the Tory party, so it's all good news the way I see it.  | |||
" Still need to keep the pressure on the government to deliver Brexit for the 52% who voted Leave. " The 52% of the 72% who turned out. Who voted for full access to the single market AND control of immigration AND £350m a week to be put into the NHS etc. | |||

Who voted for full access to the single market AND control of immigration AND £350m a week to be put into the NHS etc. " So you're saying the other 28% care so much about remain they couldn't get off their arse for it? | |||

Who voted for full access to the single market AND control of immigration AND £350m a week to be put into the NHS etc. " I didn't vote for any of that I voted to leave europe end of. What makes you think the 28% would have voted any different to the 72% and why do you think there relevant anyhow if they couldnt be bothered voting? I think that despite the government funded project fear we still voted out speaks volumes. Re ukip new leader I hope she does well just a shame nigel couldn't be pm I think he would be brilliant. | |||

Access to the single market is way down near the very bottom on the list of priorities for me. I'd rather we leave the single market, stop the free movement of people, stop Brussels interference with our laws and stop the payments we make to the EU altogether. | |||

" What makes you think the 28% would have voted any different to the 72% and why do you think there relevant anyhow if they couldnt be bothered voting? I think that despite the government funded project fear we still voted out speaks volumes. " It speaks volumes to the incompetence of David Cameron and it speaks volumes to the bigger project fear of the Leave campaign. If it was such a right decision, if people made such a considered, informed choice, what is the problem with consulting the country again once we actually see what sort of a pigs ear we are likely to get rather than the fantasy land the media let you get away with peddling? They will vote Leave again, surely if it so clearly a good thing. | |||

"So UKIP have a new leader..... How successful do we think she will be? Will she be able to emerge from the lingering shadow that is Nigel Farage?" I think Ukip will do ok with her in charge | |||
"So UKIP have a new leader..... How successful do we think she will be? Will she be able to emerge from the lingering shadow that is Nigel Farage? I think Ukip will do ok with her in charge " The party is irrelevant now. It's achieved it's goal. It should disband and go out with its head held high. Unfortunately, it'll probably do what the trade unions do and keep fighting the fight long after its won. Creating new, imaginary fights to try and stay relevant. Drifting further and further into la la land. The reason Cameron was so keen on a referendum was because he knew it would destroy UKIP, whatever the result. | |||

"God only knows how any of the parties are going to do in the next election, now we have had a referendum what is the point of UKIP? Labour are in a complete mess at the moment, but will really be in a dire situation if Corbyn is re-elected as leader. I found an old dusty history book the other day that refers to a party called the Lib Dems, but I dont think they even exist anymore. The SNP can't really expand anymore unless the start going for seats south of the border. Which leaves us with the Tories, who have kind of had a good run of it and could do well if they stick together. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that they are going to go into self destruction mode as the article 50 talks begin and progress, Boris, DD and Dr Fox are going to be stabbing each other in the back as often as possible and I wonder if May will be able to hold them all together. Its certainly an interesting time in politics, and that's just domestically." The fall of Rome made for some interesting drama series. I'm not sure I'd want to have lived through it though. | |||

Then it looks like we will all have to wait and see but suspect other things will raise there ugly head well before 2020 to keep Ukip busy. | |||

It says a lot about how insecure you are over the competence of our parliament to take us out of the EU, that you think that UKIP need to exist given that their sole purpose was to get a referendum on the subject. Though then again UKIPers were insecure over their own ability and competence given that A ukip supporter set up the call for a second referendum before the result of the referendum was called. Unless they are going to constructively take up the call for proportional representation, which would benefit them, the greens and lib dems over other parties - and actually come up with ideas of how to implement it rather than just doing a brexit and shouting about the issue, then they should disband. UKIP can ultimately find an issue and work out a solution for it, or backslide. Better to go out at a time when a fair amount of the public might respect them, than to become the reincarnation of the BNP depending on the policies put forward. | |||

The referendum is likely to mean that their casual supporters drift back to conservative, which is why dave agreed to it in the first place. Then they will be left with the crazies who destroy a credible part. Kind of like Labour but other side of the political spectrum. | |||

Firstly I,m not a Ukiper as you put it I was giving my opinion and as for this government no I don't trust them with any thing as with all governments they will do what they want. Is it not every parties goal to in government so by your thinking why don't every party disband when they have reached there goal. | |||
"So UKIP have a new leader..... How successful do we think she will be? Will she be able to emerge from the lingering shadow that is Nigel Farage?" No. UKIP will become irrelevant, quite simply because they were Nigel Farage. Without him they are lacking charisma and personality and of course their principle Sugar Daddy has also abandoned ship. Not to mention that according to Farage, their only MP is regarded as irrelevant to principles of UKIP. She will probably announce a couple of populist and controversial issues in an effort to stamp her mark but I can't see UKIP support doing anything but slide away as moderates and sensible supporters gradually slip away. There will probably be a hard core that will stay as they are the people who have now found their religion in moderate English Nationalism but in terms of numbers and electability - as irrelevant as any of the other fringe parties. | |||

" I have voted for UKIP almost since they started but now they have achieved what they set out to do I doubt I will vote for them again. " I have been supporting and voting for UKIP for years too. The result on June 23rd was a great victory but the job is still not fully complete. UKIP will remain relevant until article 50 is triggered and until we are actually out of the EU I will continue voting for them. Only when we are fully out of the EU will it be mission accomplished. | |||

I think your just about correct with that summary, it's one of the reasons i actually like first past the post politics.... It keeps the fringes from gaining actual power and I say that as a green party member. If you look across at the EU who have a greater use of the representation system, they also suffer from small lunatic parties who actually have power!! | |||

"So UKIP have a new leader..... How successful do we think she will be? Will she be able to emerge from the lingering shadow that is Nigel Farage? No. UKIP will become irrelevant, quite simply because they were Nigel Farage. Without him they are lacking charisma and personality and of course their principle Sugar Daddy has also abandoned ship. Not to mention that according to Farage, their only MP is regarded as irrelevant to principles of UKIP. She will probably announce a couple of populist and controversial issues in an effort to stamp her mark but I can't see UKIP support doing anything but slide away as moderates and sensible supporters gradually slip away. There will probably be a hard core that will stay as they are the people who have now found their religion in moderate English Nationalism but in terms of numbers and electability - as irrelevant as any of the other fringe parties.. I think your just about correct with that summary, it's one of the reasons i actually like first past the post politics.... It keeps the fringes from gaining actual power and I say that as a green party member. If you look across at the EU who have a greater use of the representation system, they also suffer from small lunatic parties who actually have power!!" Exactly, I love first past the post | |||

" Still need to keep the pressure on the government to deliver Brexit for the 52% who voted Leave. The 52% of the 72% who turned out. Who voted for full access to the single market AND control of immigration AND £350m a week to be put into the NHS etc. So you're saying the other 28% care so much about remain they couldn't get off their arse for it?"  | |||

"Exposing Jean Claude Juncker and his corrupt antics when he was Prime Minister of Luxembourg when he was helping and facilitating tax evasion/avoidance for mega rich multi national companies and corporations was most definitely a thorn in the side of the EU. It was UKIP who called a motion of censure against Juncker in the European Parliament over this and could have led to Juncker being stripped of his Presidency. The swivel eyed fanatical Europhiles and Junckers cronies in Brussels saw to it that he kept his job though. If you still think Juncker is a good man for the job, hell even David Cameron opposed Junckers appointment as EU President. | |||

According to Mrs, Germany did have restrictions on Sunday driving in the 70's and even today there are strict rules about which trucks can use motorways on a Sunday. I'm not a trucker so I'm not sure of the exact detail but it is something like Fuel and perishable food only. | |||

Corbyn may be leader on paper but I think it's clear the majority of the PLP think otherwise. " difference being if there was a split in Labour which I doubt before 2020 then they would still be broadly effective in Parliament, UKIP will only go down hill post the Brexit vote and whilst they and their supporters may feel they can have an influence on the negotiations and the eventual outcome they wont.. May will deliver what she feels will be best both for the UK, herself as leader and the Tory party and many of the ex tories now in UKIP will head back.. Labour has had such spats before as have the Tories, think its the nature of both the largely centre left and right in this country to disagree on where they should be going politically within.. keeping that in house and being effective is the trick.. | |||

"'• Shami Chakrabarti, the former director of Liberty and a lawyer with a well-deserved reputation for integrity, produced a thoughtful and important report on antisemitism and racism in the Labour party at the request of Jeremy Corbyn. It is highly regrettable that they are both now under attack because her inquiry did not find evidence to support allegations of rampant antisemitism in the party. Such attacks say more about her detractors than they do about Chakrabarti. Their real objections concern her recommendation that the party’s disciplinary processes conform to the principles of natural justice, so that allegations of antisemitism and other forms of racism will be properly investigated, members cannot be suspended without knowing the charges against them, and people are protected against scurrilous and ill-founded allegations. As Jews whose views are not represented by the chief rabbi, the Board of Deputies of British Jews or the pro-Israel lobbyists of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, we dissociate ourselves from the attacks on Chakrabarti and urge Corbyn to hold firm in implementing the positive recommendations in her report.

"'The leader of Labour's inquiry into anti-Semitism, Shami Chakrabarti, says she has joined the party in order to gain members' "trust and confidence". But she said she would investigate "without fear or favour" and her recommendations would be "mine alone". The independent inquiry was set up after MP Naz Shah and ex-London mayor Ken Livingstone were suspended amid anti-Semitism claims. Islamophobia and racism will also be looked at. The announcement of the review last month, alongside a new code of conduct on anti-Semitism, came as critics claimed the party leadership was not doing enough to combat the problem. 'Party's interests' Ms Shah, the MP for Bradford West, was suspended after social media posts emerged in which she suggested Israel should be moved to the United States. Mr Livingstone was then suspended after claiming Hitler supported Zionism, as he tried to defend her. Ms Chakrabarti was political neutral in her previous job as head of campaign group Liberty.

So the aim is not to be in government? Fair enough, a lot of people suspected that all along. But when you start to put people in positions of power who are answerable to no one other than the glorious leader can you not see where that ends up? Have you learnt nothing from history? | |||

And I don't know how you have the nerve to mention the liar, hypocrite and whitewasher Chakrabarti What on earth are you talking about? And Chakrabarti is impartial and neither a liar, hypocrite or whitewasher. Good grief you are mad as a box of frogs. Her whole career has been devoted to standing up to injustices by the state and other organisations on behalf of the individual and their rights, but because she doesn't fall in line with your prejudices she must be a lying hypocrite? In your world it seems the world is divided into two types of people, openly greedy selfish bigots and secretly greedy selfish bigots. " Don't really understand that last bit but it seems that the Home Affairs Select Committee today agree with me over Labour, Corbyn and Chakrabati | |||

"They do, but I think Corbyn's response is right. Given the overall conclusions regarding anti semitism in the Labour Party, which agrees with chakrabarti's investigation , the focus does indeed show politicisation and let's be honest it suits the purposes of both the Tories and the PLP to hammer Corbyn. The committee might have been cross party but it's focus and presentation shows a clear bias. " Bias? They did criticise Tim Farron as well but carry on being in denial if it makes you feel better about the kind of people you support | |||

"Well, Chakrabarti throughout her entire time as the head of Liberty was unbiased. She was known for it. There is nothing to suggest that her enquiry and report into antisemitism was not fair and unbiased. In fact the Home Affairs Select Committee have agreed with her findings, which kind of puts you right wingers in a bit of difficulty with your argument really. The bias though is not in the actual findings but in the way they have presented them. The HASC was made up of 6 Tories, 1 SNP and 3 Labour. Of the 3 Labour MP's one was Chuka Umuna who is known as one of the most hostile to Jeremy Corbyn. Of the others David Winnick is not particularly anti Corbyn on policy but has been critical of him not stepping aside on his ability to lead the PLP, while the other Labour MP is Nas Shah who is neither pro nor anti Corbyn but either way was in a very weak position when it comes to a report on anti-semitism. So it is fair to say there is a great potential for bias inherent in that Committee. But did it manifest itself? Corbyn's statement makes it clear there was. Shame on them. “Although the Committee heard evidence that 75 per cent of antisemitic incidents come from far right sources, and the report states there is no reliable evidence to suggest antisemitism is greater in Labour than other parties, much of the report focuses on the Labour party. “As the report rightly acknowledges, politicising antisemitism – or using it as a weapon in controversies between and within political parties – does the struggle against it a disservice.” “I am also concerned by some other aspects of the Committee’s report. The Committee heard evidence from too narrow a pool of opinion, and its then-chair rejected both Chakrabarti’s and the Jewish Labour Movement’s requests to appear and give evidence before it. Not a single woman was called to give oral evidence in public, and the report violates natural justice by criticising individuals without giving them a right to be heard. “The report’s political framing and disproportionate emphasis on Labour risks undermining the positive and welcome recommendations made in it.” “The committee chose not to look in any detail at – or come up with proposals for – combatting antisemitism in other parties, our major civic institutions, in the workplace, in schools, in all those places where Jewish people’s life chances might be at risk through antisemitism. “In the Labour Party, which has been at the forefront of those struggles for equality, we remain committed to doing so. We continue to work with Jewish and other organisations in that endeavor, and are saddened that those on the Committee have chosen not to contribute to it. “The report unfairly criticises Shami Chakrabarti for not being sufficiently independent. This fails to acknowledge public statements that the offer to appoint Chakrabarti to the House of Lords came after completion of her report, and was based on her extensive legal and campaigning experience. “Commissioning Chakrabarti was an unprecedented step for a political party, demonstrating Labour’s commitment to fight against antisemitism.” Earlier in his statement, Mr Corbyn had commented: “The report in fact echoes much of Labour’s own Chakrabarti Inquiry report, including recommendations on language, stereotyping and training.” He continued: “Labour is already acting on her recommendations, including reform of our internal procedures, changes to the Party’s rule book and expansion of training to tackle antisemitism. “The Inquiry, which included Baroness Jan Royall, former leader of the House of Lords, and David Feldman, Director of the Pears Institute for the Study of Antisemitism on its panel, was praised by a number of bodies, including the Jewish Labour Movement, and by John Mann, the Chair of the All Parliamentary Party Group against Antisemitism. “I am proud that Labour is the only party that has specific protections in place to ensure a zero tolerance approach to antisemitism.” " proud? Why should it need them? | |||

"Wtf? Didn't you understand the statement and findings? So your position is that although it was found that most antisemitism comes from the right and although the labour certainly suffers from no more antisemitism than the other parties the other parties have a more responsible attitude by doing fuck all to counter any they find?" CandM dont understand about left and right in politics, you just confuse them when you say things like 75% of antisemitism comes from the far right. | |||
