What percentage would be relevant? By itself, none.
The only votes that count for or against political parties in the UK are those that are cast at elections.
Governments survive while they have the confidence of parliament.
A recent (2016?) petition that wanted a change in the law so that UK citizens can force an immediate General Election got less than 15,000 signatures...
Well it has been pointed out that a petition cannot force another general election so you seem to be pointing out the obvious. The petition is just as relevant as pro EU surveys and demonstrations. 2.5 million people is a significant expression of dissatisfaction…and its growing . If 2.5 million peoples views are insignificant then we can dismiss any views from any group less than 2.5 million right? Maybe 3.5 million tomorrow 😉 |

Unfortunately their Co2 refuses to stay in their country and effects our weather. Bloody foreign Co2 coming here ruining our air. So what is the point of the UK (who only produces less than 1% of global CO2) going all out for this renewable energy to cut our emissions? After all if they are going to blow in from across the Channel anyway what is the point? I think you might finally be cottoning on to the basic problem with the dash to Net Zero.Which has been pointed out time after time . |

I can imagine Rachel and co rolling their eyes and making incredulous gasps at their failures .
They can’t even blame the Tories now.
This could be a slow motion Liz Truss type situation .

I have never understood why fundamentalist Brexiteers and faragistes in general got so aereated by the presence of Eastern Europeans but appeared to be completely relaxed about the presence of several times as many subcontinentals, Africans, Orientals and sundry millions of others.
It obviously wasn't the numbers getting them excited, so what was it?
Who is relaxed?. On practically every issue people complain about the numbers of migrants. What is not an issue (except to certain people) is the idea that some barely educated doofus from the EU is a better migrant than an Indian with a PhD in Computer Science. Immigration based on qualifications and not the colour of your skin is the only way to grow the economy. Indeed. East Europeans are mentioned because they were East Europeans. East Europeans created insular communities within communities just as many Asian migrants did. Ex remainers just can’t help themselves . They have to try to squeeze in a racist factor in Brexit. |

It’s only since the failure of immigration control that ex remainers have locked into it . In the first couple of years after Brexit many ex remainers concentrated on our inability to find find satisfactory trade deals with and beyond the EU. I often pointed out that the main reason that so many wanted Brexit was due to the flood of East Europeans into the UK but it was mostly disputed by whining Remainers.

They don’t . It was. |

Now 2,582,908 and still going  Still less than 1.5% of the electorate.
I guess it gives those that have signed a bit of a warm feeling — but like peeing down the inside of their trouser leg, the comfort is probably only transient...
What percentage would be relevant? |

I don't like bullying. Not only is it against the forum rules, but it also makes the perpetrator(s) cowards who need to be called out. Can I assume from your reply that you are OK with the bullying on here? There is no bullying on here . Just someone whining about nothing . |

You're correct, Farage was spouting bollocks. That wasn’t my point but give yourself a biscuit for being clever. |

What Farage actually said was: "What I would like is us to return to post-war normality. For about 60 years, we had net migration into Britain between 30,000 and 50,000 people a year. If we return to that, it will become a non-issue.""And the effect of what I am proposing, a points system - call it the Australian one, or whatever you like - actually more black people would qualify to come in under that than currently do."Seems perfectly sensible to me.. a colour blind immigration system, can't understand why the OP would be against that. Exactly but the OP is a misinformed, semi literate wind up . You can see that by the poster of the OP changing the goalposts in his reply to you . I asked for the actual words of Farage to be posted because I knew it was bollocks. |

“Developing’ countries seem to be wanting ‘ climate change ‘ hand outs in one hand and ‘ reperations ‘ with the other .
How much ‘climate change’ compo is the US, India and China contributing?
