Outside chance 'Abolish the Welsh Assembly' will come third tomorrow in the Newport West by election given Newport voted against a Welsh Assembly in the 1997 referendumDougSeal said:
It’s not the referendum but what happened after the referendum. Brexit’s like prohibition - hugely popular idea until its difficulties become evident. The Welsh Assembly was a reasonably well thought out proposal decently implemented. Brexit isn’t as we see today. Anyway, it’s not as if the Conservatives were not ruling out a second referendum on the issue ( https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/theresa-now-lying-welsh-assembly-15673406 ) and there is a party in Wales devoted to the Assembly’s abolition that isn’t exactly setting the polls on fire.Sunil_Prasannan said:Mike, what's your take on the Welsh Devolution Referendum of 1997, when Yes won by only 0.6%?

If she refuses to budge, they can't touch her at least until December.

There will be so much stuff on twitter. FB etc that everyone will have something embarrassing in their records and people will stop being so judgmental about them. A generation ago if a politician was revealed to be gay or cheating on their partner it was a sensation and quite possibly a resigning issue. Now it hardly merits a mention. Soon old social media posts will be disregarded in the same way.Sandpit said:

Mr Divvie,
If Scotland voted for independence, I would accept the result with no problem. But how would you get it past the Westminster MPs?
After all, look at all the supposed difficulties of separating from a union of just over 45 years.. not 312 years.
And after two or three years of deliberate obstruction, insults such as you don't understand the issues - being morons, and now you've changed your minds anyway, you'd end up with revoke or you'd be fobbed off with a scrap more devolution. Is it worth it?
Representative democracy old chap.0 -

Breaking: Tory MPs circulating a possible motion of censure on the cabinet proposing to dock half their pay for bungling Brexit,0

That censure motion is a sign of how incredibly inept the ERG are (assuming they are behind it).
If you want to get rid of the PM you don't lump the rest of the Cabinet in with her: all you succeed in doing with that is uniting the Cabinet and enabling them to see the ERG for what they are. Malcontents on the margins of the world.
They are quite fantastically inept.0 -

Just too busy to comment at the moment, a shame in such momentous times.
My feel for a few weeks that has held steady is that all involved will do the minimum required to absolutely prevent no deal, at all times.

I completed my latest campaign on Sunday - a 21-mile walk to Barnet, completing the London Loop. I 'celebrated' by extending it five miles down to Finchley.Sunil_Prasannan said:

London is a surprisingly green city; the trail is within the M25 at all times, but spends relatively little time in urban areas. Londoners are lucky to have that sort of thing on their doorstep.0 -
