• Not on a national population level. The latter is already a figure that exists. Let’s keep explicitly emotive arguments in perspective.

    I'm sorry but no, you don't get to frame a legitimate argument about the relative levels of damage between a soft brexit, hard brexit, and no deal brexit as being purely emotional just because it was expressed quickly. Deaths are a practical measure not only of short term border disruption but also longer term economic fallout. The difference between the relative damage each type of Brexit does is absolutely a relevant thing to call out.

    And we're talking about MPs and what they should have done here. Your argument about what the 'national population' thinks is not relevant because MP's responsibility is to the interests of their specific constituents. And that can include disagreement, and in fact it should. The argument that people are stupid so MPs have to vote stupid because people are stupid is a circular one.

  • Oh dear. Statistics on a national population level.

    If you have estimates on the percentage increase in unnecessary deaths due to medical shortages then that’s great. It should help you argue why this version of Brexit is fucking shit. Which you can have with someone else.
