I reckon it's a pisstake, but impossible to tell these days.

Brilliant weekend celebrating Brexit. Not been on here much. Sank a few yesterday down the local after an enthralling match down the King Power. Where are all the remoaning cyclists who were laughing at me months ago. He who laughs last laughs the longest.

If that's the case then everyone has to withdraw their support from the system. The Labour Party needs to refuse to participate in elections. We need to stop voting. That is the only solution.
Yeah of course. I mean I assume they're joking here but... that's why I mentioned Austin Powers, you know that bit when he's playing 21 and the bad guy twists with 19 saying he likes to live dangerously and then AP gets dealt 7 or something and sticks cos "I too like to live dangerously" and you wonder if he has some sort of plan or something but the dealer just gets 14 or whatever and says "You lose". That's what not taking part would be like - on the face of it it seems really stupid, but no-one is that dumb, they must have another plan... no they were just really stupid and completely gave one hundred percent control to the Tories.They don't need legitimacy. People don't care about legitimacy.
Not sure why you think this would lead to any result except the country becoming a one-party state. How is it supposed to work?
Its a terrible idea - but its heading in the right direction.
OK, so suppose I say "I do not accept the result of this election" - or suppose a million people do that, or ten million. What then? The government isn't going to roll over and say "OK, you got us, we give up".
