FFS "Cameron caused all of this". I'm sick of people saying that sort of thing, "this only happened because of the Tories", with the additional hypocricy being the SNP saying that when they constantly demand THEIR second referendum that the majority of Scotland don't want!

This HAPPPENED because more than 17 million people in the biggest ever vote this country has had voted for it to happen, despite the arrogant dismissive views of the remoaner class and the political "elite", most people in this country on balance wanted to leave the EU. Cameron campaigned agaisnt it, most of the media and the BBC/C4 etc were against it. The people wanted it, quite a feat.

"The majority of the voting electorate caused all of this" is the accurate description.

I don't quite remember Eden who may have been the worst in my lifetime,given that his colossal blunder concerned foreign affairs,which was supposed to be his speciality.
Hume was a joke but didn't last long and probably didn't do much harm.
Thatcher and Blair both did an awful lot of harm but both at their peak were obviously formidable politicians who were very successful at pushing their own agendas. Brown had certain unfortunate personality traits and had become a bit stranger still whilst Blair kept him waiting but his reputation is inextricably bound-up with the economic crash which started in the US not here.
Major wasn't the best but tbf he saw off his critics within the party.
May has been a disaster but she was handed a poisoned chalice by her predecessor who gets my vote.

Stand up DAVID CAMERON.

They went to war on Iraq because they said they had weapons of mass destruction which wasn't proved then or after, and invading Iraq was a monumental disaster, it was obvious destablising that region as evil as Hussein was, was going to cause more harm than good.

I think we live in times where a person being not so bright is the criterion for him to become a politician. Probably the whole politicial scene in Europe and US is already fully controlled by a handful of individuals and they dont want someone smart to come up the ranks and ask questions. Sort of like you don't want a too smart soldier, or else he'll start asking questions instead of doing what he is told to do.

Moreover, I am not sure whats the point of calling her the worst ever? She's the fkin prime minister. How many have reached that post before her? SHe's got a pension and security for life. I would take that any day and be happily be called all the filth in the world. Same goes for Trump. The guy's the most powerful man in the world and still people are obsessed with how bad he's doing or how crazy he is.

To me, its more disturbing to watch that people still haven't woken up to the reality that politicians dont work for them. There probably was a time when that was true, but that time has spoiled the adults of today into thinking just because they vote for them, the politicians need to listen. I've observed this a lot with the older generation.

When I said in 2016 that brexit won't happen, because Obama told people to not vote leave on the eve of the vote, people made fun of me. Some even said Britain is a sovereign nation. And that Obama doesn't run Britain. But the point was, if your biggest ally, an ally you have invaded countries for without thinking twice, says that something is not supposed to happen, then you need to listen.

As it has turned out, three years on, politicians are still working full time to reverse that referendum. And there are still people who think it will happen!

She's just putting it off until it goes away or they have a second referendum. Just have more votes until they get the result they want. If May really wanted a Brexit then she'd say fxck it we're leaving - today -end of. But she doesn't want to leave. She just wants to play it out endlessly and say "I've tried my best.Sorry."

Oh, and the overwhelming vote thing (and I say this as someone who doesn't really care if we're in or out), it wasn't the overwhelming massive decision that was the will of the people ABOUT HALF (well, a fraction over [1.8%]) said they wanted to leave and ABOUT HALF (well, a fraction under [1.8%]) said they didn't.

All it's done is give journalists an easy living and create a divided society which suits the politicians.

For a while I thought that but I'm not sure now. I think she maybe does want her deal to be passed, but is a crap politician who is surrounded by other opportunist crap politicians who are as bad or worse. IT's hard to judge someone as worse when, if their deal was passed, they would achieve a form of Brexit - than a shower of opportunist w@nkers who just want a General Election out of it (Labour) or to break up the UK (the SNP). All the time trying to pretend they are acting in good faith, when they aren't.

The Libs are at least fairly consistent in their aims, disagree with them or not, I can to some extent respect that. Rven if it appears undemocratic given they supported the original referendum.
