An anecdote from historical Switzerland shows how stupid elites can be and why the jester reflects in this Q and A show just about everything as well as the reaction of the elite to his statement volumes one should be aware that exactly such "fools" the reality to interpret exactly. Now for the historical context. The court jester Kuony von Stocken gave the Archduke Leopold I of Habsburg before the Battle of Morgarten against the inhabitants of the village of Steinen today part of Schwyz in the canton in Switzerland with the same advice. "The Duke asked his fool how he liked his plan and battle plan? The fool replied "ÜBEL" Spoke the Duke: why? Answered in the fool all advised and advised you how to get into the country but no one told you how to leave it again. This is a bit of a metaphor for the situation of the EU and the Government and Parliament of England because they consciously disregard the will of the people. One should never be too frivolous to feel jesters only as fools and call them because the truth catches up with everyone. Note the Duke and his army were crushingly defeated in the battle.

@i. rob They're no exception for that matter. But even then when politicians are such jokes in Belgium they are just laughed at and their careers are over at the next elections. Maybe the difference lies in the bipartite nature of the UK's political system. The two big parties will always oppose no matter what, the voters are so used to it that they don't care about it anymore, whatever project Tories put forward Labour is going to oppose (and vice versa). This is for example not the case in Belgium where there are multiple parties which each agree and oppose on multiple points. Having an unconditionnaly and bad-faith opposition is a handicap for our parties because of these party-combinations that have to be done with many parties at the many levels of power to have any form of power. The only big party that is rotten in Belgium has been kicked of office (after a corruption scandal) because it's main partner was fed up with it's behaviour for example, and then it's partner has simply made a new government with a leader of the opposition.
@jacobsxavier6082

@i. rob We operated with a government of 'affaires courantes' which means they just have to make the administrative machine running but couldn't take any decision. But we can, basically, say that belgium has been without government but the administration, rule of law,... were still working. Anyways in the case of the UK there is a pretty big difference, if you leave the EU, whatever the case, you leave the common market and the deals it made with the rest of the world, so your government has to make decisions for the trade deal negotiations, except if you want to keep your country commercially isolated from the rest of the world. This would be a first timer for the brits since the dark ages (the standards of living weren't the 'best' back then, this is most likely why there is the 'dark' in dark ages). So I would say the UK needs a strong government more than ever and your current parliament is incapable of providing this, you should have reelections because the hard part of the job is coming soon, negotiate as a minor power with superpowers for trade deals. And when you see the US or China already blocking your WTO tarifs it means that they know they can squeeze far better out of you, they smell weakness, you left a big trading block without being a big trade power (compared to the US, China, EU). In other words the UK are going back to their imperialistic times, but this time they will be Ireland.

I hope that with the radical changes that should follow in the UK your people will make the right decisions, for this I can only say that you should study the policies and socio-economic structures of countries which succeed (worldwide) and seeing if those policies can be applied to the UK. Maybe also fight off the idea of the (mostly) bipartite system that you have in parliament, there are for example enough parties in belgium to not only have nutjobs (the socialist party in wallonia might be a temporary exception to this but at the moment they're fighting for their very survival because of their 'nutjobs', at the moment this party is dying out due to their multiple competitors on their left and right taking their votes because being more 'competitive'). Belgian parties cannot afford to have nutjobs for long before more competitive parties replace them, this is possible when you have 5-6 competing political parties, not when you have 2 political parties (in other words a bipartite system). So, maybe supporting your minority parties in parliament could help to encourage this, instead of always voting for labour and the tories. To synthetise our parties seem to be more healthy than yours because they are on a more competitive political 'market' than yours while yours are on an oligopolistic political 'market' (which in turn makes them less competitive and therefore less efficient over time). Sorry for the long answer I hope there's useful information for you in it. As a belgian, I would really like to see my neighbours stopping to have such an incompetent political class (isn't it even one of the few points on which brexiteers and remainers agree ? ;) ).

It is commonly used with the implication that the people who claim to support the rights of the working class are themselves members of the ruling classes and are therefore out of touch with the real needs of the people they claim to support and protect. Or, as Alexei Sayle defined it: they are left-wing people who have the same big houses, expensive cars and fancy furniture, as the right-wing people but feel slightly guilty about it. I would add that the ability to parrot the tropes and opinions of such a class is now required for jobs above a certain pay-grade in many sectors of the public services and associated industries.

I just watched Henning's video of his stay in Bognor Regis. He said " it's really quite nice here, the sun is shining and there are lots of shops that are still open". He met 2 youths fishing off the pier, and one of them recognised him, asking Henning to tell them a joke. Henning was a little reluctant at first, but went on to tell them about the 2 extremely large gentlemen who walked into a bar. The first one said " your round" the other said " so are you ya fat bastard".

Your original point 'You can't have it both ways' implied that you believe the audience to be biased. Another 'fact' you have no evidence for. In fact it IS possible for an audience to be unbiased and simultaneously not necessarily agree exactly with the general population. That is how statistics works.

It is clear (even by the BBC’s latest admission) that the QT panel has been consistently biased towards remain.

Just a tip.

@@jeromek2125 Of course the panel are more likely to be pro-remain. Any representative sample of people in politics (and likely other well known commentators, E.g. Economists or similar) will likely be pro-remain. That was the whole point. Brexit was carried by people who wanted the opposite to the 'establishment'. Remember the Gove quote 'people have had enough of experts'. Who needs experts huh? If they insisted on a 50 50 split on the panel every week (in terms of views on Brexit) they would run out of pro Brexit politicians very quickly! They are in short supply. So how you can be surprised by this is beyond me. But in any case your original point was about the audience not about the panel. You have conveniently changed your point. What might happen with the audience (and this shows I am not wearing blinkers) is that they invite a representative sample of people but more remainers can be arsed to show up? I don't think that is the case though, because people apply to be in the audience (thus showing a willingness) and only then do they take a representative sample form the applicants. Don't get me wrong. Do I think Brexit is a mistake. Yes. A catastrophic one economically. But I never advocated for a second referendum. It was Cameron's initial arrogance that got us into this mess. I am glad to be out of it. All the best. No hard feelings.

That's because the BBC gets cash from the EU. The EU helped fund a number of BBC projects, most notably the DMI or Digital Media Initiative. The project officially folded after announcing no part of the costs or the material resources could be recovered or recycled. £98.4 million went straight down the tubes. The EU grand plan should have stayed on continental Europe, because historically they're all collaborators, cowards and fundamentally corrupt.

The EU hasn't exactly tried to charm them over recently. Either way we have about half the country deeply unhappy.

Your criteria for remain now having the advantage in any future referendum is that many people over a certain age and whose demographic are statistically likely to have voted leave are now dead.
