How are people this incompetent ever going to save us from "Hard Brexit"?


The CUK squatter incompetence just continues getting worse. First they called themselves "The Independent Group", then they switched to "Change UK" (to reflect their commitment to keep everything exactly the same), which produces the dreadful acronym CUK, now they've decided to rebrand themselves again as "For Change Now" and moved their Twitter account over to the new name.

The consequences of this absurd 3rd rebrand in 3 months are numerous.
First, they've lost their Twitter blue tick as a result of the move to their new name.  
Second, all the social media links on their website, and all the old Tweets they were tagged in now point to their old Twitter handle, not their current one. 
Third, they didn't even protect their old "TheIndGroup" handle when they made the move, which means that it's now been snapped up by someone who is using the name to slag them off as the anti-democratic charlatans they are and promote "no deal" Brexit!
It's absolutely astounding that so many people are backing this ridiculous bunch of shockingly incompetent, democracy-fearing, bigotry-infested, pro-austerity charlatans whose only contributions to the political landscape so far have been parading their own egos, pledging loyalty to the Tories and their ruinous austerity agenda, and dividing the Brexit-sceptic vote.

Another referendum with these incompetent, democracy-fearing, austerity-loving charlatans shoving themselves to the forefront of the Remain campaign would be an absolute disaster, especially if they get their way and turn it into a 'do or die' 'clash of civilisations' culture war between Remain and the hardest of hard Brexits promoted by the Tory government that the CUK squatters insist on keeping in power.

The risk of an inescapable double-mandate for a ruinous hard Tory Brexit under these circumstances would be enormous, but apparently vast numbers of people actually want to go into a fight like this led by people so incompetent that they allow their Twitter handle to fall into the hands of their Brexit-promoting opponents!

It's difficult not to laugh at the sheer incompetence of it, but the potential consequences of allowing people like this to force themselves to the forefront of the Brexit-sceptic movement will almost certainly be absolutely dire.

... As discussed on previous thread, it is difficult to remember a time when so many politicians in so many different parties have got it so wrong - all at the same time. As a result of the ineptitude of May, Corbyn, the numpties at CUK (or whatever they are calling themselves today) and the now irrelevant UKIP, the whole "establishment" have managed to create a situation where the only party with a clear and simple message that everyone knows and understands is Farage and the Brexit party.

Now we know that the EU elections are actually going to take place, we can attempt to reason the likely outcome. I am going to guess that the Brexit Party might get around 35% of the vote and "win" by a considerable amount by taking the rump of the "leave" vote from Labour and the Tories. After that it all gets tricky. Where will the "remain" vote go? I am guessing the average "remain" voter - that wants their vote to count - will probably judge that the Lib Dems offer the best chance, but that is by no means a dead cert'.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that almost the entire "leave" vote goes to the Brexit Party for this one-off, protest opportunity - thus cutting the labour and Tory vote by nearly half. Maybe a combination of the Lib Dems, CUK, the Greens will collect a big proportion of the Remain vote and leave Labour and the Tories with 30%, or less, between them!

Please note that my comments are not what I necessarily want to happen - but what I think will happen.

Anybody else out there prepared to speculate on the outcome of the 23rd May vote?

The only Solace I can take in the massive clusterf*ck that is Brexit is that the instigators appear now to be exactly where they were before the 2015 GE when they promised the referendum in the first place (to stem the tide of Tory voters voting UKIP), about to loose a significant amount of their core vote to another Farage led ego trip of a party. Oh the supreme irony.

It's obvious that Brexit isn't going to happen. So, I say we sit back and enjoy watching the Conservatives wallow in the mess they've created. Who's with me?

..... further to my post at 13.18 above, no one has yet had the b**** to have a stab at a prediction! Lots of people that comment here are very good at hindsight and backwards revisionism, lets see who actually has some real feel for what the electorate will do. In summary, I am going for:

Brexit Party 35%
Lib Dems 20%
Others 15%
Labour 15%
Conservatives 14%
UKIP 1%

... come on people, what say you?

And in Scotland most of the remain vote will go to the SNP so there's more splitting for you
