…of “we had a referendum and you lost” do you not get?
Activists in Bournemouth will debate the UK’s future relationship with the EU on Sunday amid calls from some quarters of the party for the Brexit process to be stopped.
Sigh…
The Lib Dems want a further referendum on the terms of the final withdrawal deal, with the public to be given the option to stay in the UK.
Was that a Freudian slip?
Keep voting until they get the answer they want…
Well at least they’re consistent. Re-running the vote until the desired result is delivered is standard procedure for the EU.
I find the issue of electric kettles to be hugely symbolic. The type of electric kettle that you will be allowed to buy is to be restricted by law. The politicians proposing said restrictions are not people that you voted for and you cannot remove them from power. The reason for these politicians wanting these restrictions is so that energy consumption can be reduced in order to save us all from climate change. These people are too stupid to know that a kettle that uses half as much energy for twice as long does not save energy but just takes twice as long to boil. To me, this is the EU in a nutshell.
I think the kettle malarky is about the demand for electricity at peak times..If ten million households suddenly put the kettle on there would be a 30,000,000 kw demand…1.5kw kettle 15,000,000 demand…surge if you like
And if kettles take too long to boil just stick a pan of water with lid on the cooker at full heat.
If the system can’t cope with 3kw kettles what hope when their electric car utopia is forced on us and everyone returning home plugs the car/van/bus/lorry in, helpfully another 10 million plus immigrants in the country by then or won’t they use electricity, deep joy.
As the kettle input power is reduced the best losses from the kettle will increase over the time it takes to reach boiling point.
If the input power is reduced enough at some temperature less than boiling point the losses will equal the input and the water in the kettle will not get any warmer.
I live not far from the conference hall in Bournemouth and frankly it’s a bit embarassing that they’ve booked such a large venue. There can’t be more than about 300 of them in total – they should have booked a church hall instead.
And in terms of political influence the complete lack of any uniformed police presence I could see driving past today (even given yesterday’s incendiary attack in London) probably tells you everything you need to know about the influence the LibDems have now. They are probably more a danger to each other than a serious political party, led by a Grandad.
I always try to avoid Bournemouth during conference season.
I understood that Bournemouth was somewhere the rich went to die; now the LibDem party have proved it.
They should be prosecuted under the Trade Desciption Act. They’re neither Liberal nor democratic. It’s a very clear cut issue as far as I’m concerned. Either you want Britain to be a free, sovereign, independent natiion state or you want it subsumed within a tyrannical, anti-democratic, unnacountable oligarchy where you will have no say whatsoever.
That was the basis of my vote for Brexit.
Likewise.
And mine
“Keep voting until they get the answer they want…”
I remember a Philadelphia Council meeting about ten years ago where the sponsor of a smoking ban bill (Michael Nutter) waited until about half the Councilmembers had voted, realized the vote was going to fail, and WITHDREW the bill from voting so it wouldn’t be defeated and he could reenter it again after dragging in a few more busloads of schoolchildren to cry about how they were all getting diseases from the smokers in the bars and strip clubs.

Sneaky.
Yep. The US antismoking campaign will likely go down in history as one of the most skillfully orchestrated examples of peacetime mind control through propaganda in all of human history. That’s what happens when you throw hundreds of millions of dollars into an activist movement year after year after year.
Thank God no-one with any sense pays this tiny political party any mind. They are very much the anti democracy party.
