BREXIT, Who Is Laughing Now?

Discussion in 'Just Talk' started by palavaman, Oct 18, 2016.


  1. No further answer needed, please read previous posts.

    But a slight correction, the comparative european to the comparative Brit, for a fair comparison.

    Then I believe data trumps your anecdote.

    Look at PISA or TIMMS statistics or proportion of British population who have undergrad degrees.
     

  3. I think oecd, as i mentioned earlier, outtrumps you.

    Unless I have read the data wrong?

    Uk in the pisa data is long way behind other european countries.?

    Just as its been label as our democratic system doesn't ment it is democratic, would you say that over 5 million people are represented by 1 seat in parliament but 1.5 million people are reprisented yes by 56 MP's, please feel free to try to argue the case that's not disproportionate and undemocractic :eek:
     

  5. Do you understand the difference between government and parliament?

    ... and ahead of a bunch of others. We're mid-table or better, but all those in the middle are basically the same. Statistically, we'd say there's no significant difference.
     

  7. ok if you say so :)

    British law? The referendum was not legally binding everyone knows that but was a question asked to the public on how they feel about membership of the EU, so when the establishment doesn't get the answer it hoped for they try to undermine and disrupt the process called for by the majority of people, and this time there used law as a mechanism to do this with judges (unelected) and clearly bias to make a ruling. the question asked was democracy at its Simplest in or out "rule of the people" the people voted to leave, and now the dirty politics claiming to be acting democratically rears its head.

    The report you half-read say so.
     

  11. I thought it was.

    I re read it.

    It still is
     

  12. I will agree that you can read the data and find lots of answers.

    But i did say, comparative persons, not an overall chart

    Maybe you should re read another time? what way did I refer to any part of the current government, only about current members of parliament? And you didn't tell me how our "democratic system" was a good representation of the British public?
     

  14. Ok i re read it again.

    You mention seats in parliament and a comparison to MP's
    So , I ak again, do you undersrand the difference between government and parliament?

    there
    If you have read the post 3 times and still can't get it I see how your opinion of British people intellect is so inferior.

    I could have said 5 million people are reprisented by 1 seat and 1.5 million are reprisented by 56 seats

    Or

    5 million = 1 MP's
    1.5 million = 56 MP's

    Either way you are concerning yourself with a figure of speech and not the point of the post

  19. Are you seriously trying to tell me that he was influenced in any way by this? If so, SAY SO!

    And back it up with a teeny tad more than wishful thinking and conspiracy theory.

    And, what about his two learned colleagues? :rolleyes:

    JJ, you've lost the plot. Brexit has done this to you. You are not thinking straight, man.


    But that's ok - 'cos you haven't ever on this issue.


    RIP JJ's reasoning.

    Yes, the NHS worker who hoped that Brexiter's children get ill and need Great Ormond St Hospital was really spooky (or did ya miss that bit?) ( and were the Remainers on the panel too polite to point out that she was well out of order too? )
    . Did you forget that little bit of nonsense by her, accidentally, or did you just watch what the Brexiters were saying?
