The new party should campaign on rejoining the EU. A sure winner!

Are you insane? We’re a cat’s whisker away from electing a Reform UK Ltd government 🤪🇬🇧

That's however NOT the same, not even remotely. Besides, Reform doesn't poll much higher than 29%.

Whatever gets you through. If an election were held tomorrow Reform UK Ltd would walk it Tick tock

Yes and? A FPTP is NOT a referendum. You don't need a majority to win the UK government. Exactly by the same token and the *very same surveys* placing reform ahead, if a referendum were held tomorrow rejoin would win easily!

I’m sure that comes as a great solace to you *we’re not rejoining, Starmer isn’t the caped Rejoiner. Until we accept this we won’t get anywhere

Whether you rejoin or not is a different question. As an economist, I am pretty sure you aren't going anywhere till you rejoin, you'll just keep spiralling in the economic black hole brexit has plunged the Uk. Public opinion understands that. If your moron leaders don't, change them.

It’s not me, it’s an opinion poll published in the Times and it’s their headline. Worth noting to counter the ReformUK narrative

Have the RFUK narrative not moved on? They aren’t vocal about Brexit anymore (and why would they, since it isn’t going that great), now it is a spotlight on immigration in other ways.

That’s a good point actually. Fromage barely mentions trans people either (for instance), that weird obsession really is a Labour problem these days 🤪🔥

meanwhile labours red lines - very different to theresa may & johnsons - are pushing britain so far inside the EU it's "I Can't Believe It's Not Brexit".

Removing the non voters puts it at about 62% remain. I wonder why they excluded NI from that poll. Gibraltar too. NI was 56% and GIB was 97% remain.
aug 3, 2025, 9:27 am • 1 0 • view
of course there is no remain..... and there's no rejoin...... it's now all in or all out! And the only way for people to force that decision is to vote for a party who believes in joining!

no, just a statement of fact 😁
aug 3, 2025, 6:11 pm • 1 0 • view
ah! I see. I'm of the view it won't be the UK applying to join the EU. My take is: - NI to rejoin with Ireland. - Gibraltar has joined Spanish Schengen area and the EU CU. - Falklands will do their own EU deal, bypassing UK. - Scotland will push for indyref2 unless GB triggers art 49.
aug 3, 2025, 6:16 pm • 0 0 • view
Only time will tell, and Westminster will try to stop any of those things happening 🙄 I'd actually go with another way - Gib & Falklands threaten to walk. NI is too successful & can't be ignored, SNP get back on top & demand IndyRef2 & Westminster use it as an excuse to move back to the EU rather

than see the disUnited Kingdom torn apart along with the loss of colonies...... EU should suggest deals with the Commonwealth and really turn the screw 🤣🤣🤣

I think you misunderstand the EU Richard. the core vision of the EU is for peace between nations and to raise the quality of life for everyone. It's not a case of punching down on the english or transactional deals that has "winners" and "losers". the EU view on brexit is a lose-lose.

interesting stats. does the article explain why NI voters were excluded from the poll? NI voted 56% remain and would have increased the numbers. Presume Gibraltar, who voted 97% remain, were excluded too?

Good to see. My worry is - how many of them would actually bother to vote?

Well the new Corbyn-Zultana party is an interesting development. They may engage a constituency which didn’t bother to vote in 2024.

I would vote for him if he was against rejoining the EU and he was serious about massively cutting legal migration...and ending illegal migration He can simultaneously tackle the tax dodgers and corporate thieves so it's win win
aug 11, 2025, 3:36 pm • 0 0 • view
He is against rejoining. He voted against all pro-EU legislation for years. He called for A50 the day after the referendum. I don’t know his position on inward migration but as he is generally pro-human I would expect that he is pro-migration.
aug 11, 2025, 6:10 pm • 0 0 • view
Corbyn himself definitely against rejoining but that doesn't mean the party will be I agree he and the party will be quite pro immigration,they might make some mood music about controlling it but that's unlikely There will be nothing done about economic migrants So sadly it will be a no from me

People aren't interested in the EU anymore according to the latest Yougov surveys on issues that concern them. So sorry Richard, you aren't getting your old MEP job back. Have to make do with the generous pension 😂 Relationship with the EU below is in green since 2010 (Yougov May 2025) -

A fall in support for Brexit isn’t really enough though. Until there’s sustained and substantial active enthusiasm for rejoining, rather than just grumbling and disgruntlement, I fear the best we can hope for is a piecemeal and slightly under-the-radar tweaking of relations with the EU.

Only 27% voted to rejoin the EU (even the SM/CU) at last year's GE The 3 most popular parties were all against rejoining Farage leading polls now You just aren't credible mate

So now England is against Brexit its ok to talk of rejoining?

Yet we have a Labour party, lead by McSweeney, pushing the Overton window to the far right to win back a handful of red wall voters. It's normalising Farage and his dangerous far right rhetoric. Please can someone wake Labour up to this blindingly obvious risk!
aug 3, 2025, 7:24 am • 4 0 • view
It's because McSweeney has pushed the Overton window to the far right that there can be no progress on EU SM+CU which is so essential for GDP Growth - Labour's chosen metric for success. Labour daren't even mention Brexit let alone deal with its chilling effect on the UK economy.

A decade ago, out of a total #UK pop of 70m, a minority of 17m voted for the #BrexitDisaster which year after year continues to ruin our #economy, isolating us from our neighbours. 🇬🇧🇪🇺 To restore prosperity, we must #RejoinEU.

Given the annual death rate in the UK is around 1%, over the last 9 years that's about 6 million people. A large chunk must have been from the older, more conservative demographic, so tbh, this change is not at all surprising. Time to rejoin and meet the wishes of the current generation. 🇪🇺
