Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Nigel, the polls, or surveys if you like, that are being discussed here apropos of Labour voters and Party members were not predictors. They were surveys of done deeds. I do hope you can see the difference. Now Iains, I'm a patient man. The fact that half a million Labour Party MEMBERS probably voted remain is not connected to the separate point that thirty-odd million people actually decided the result. I'm merely making the point that the official Labour position (which I lament but about which I am not in denial) is at odds with the sentiments of the majority of Labour voters in the country as a whole, insofar as it's reflected by the way they voted in the referendum, and is very much at odds with the sentiments of Labour Party members, also insofar as they voted in the referendum. That's all. Now, Nigel and Iains, please read that again slowly and carefully before you type even more daft stuff, there's a good pair of lads.
