It’s also a major issue with Corbyn, his refusal to play the game once again allows the lie to be believed by too many. Don’t get me wrong, people buying it after everything that’s happened are beneath my contempt but there are a scary amount of them out there Some of the people I work with, (blancmange for brains) will never vote labour with corbyn as he's a terrorist sympathiser and they're leave voters, (or didn't vote but if had've it would've been leave because immigration). One likes Trump as well. Thick. As. Fuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The Guardian's overall narrative at the moment seems to be that we have to accept we're leaving and try to tweak the deal. Interesting position tbh, I would've thought it was all to fight for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller parties aren't going to vote for it, they confirmed as much today. Labour can't make it happen on its own. Unless you think May will table one.

Either way it's hard to deny that the will of the people in 2016 is not the will of the people now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) @Rayvin Parliament is deadlocked, she isn’t prepared to negotiate or extend article 50, and the EU will only allow an extension in exceptional circumstances anyway. She won’t resign or contemplate compromise to forge a cross party consensus. The clock is ticking. Labour are certain to call another confidence vote at some point. Her majority was meagre last night. If she starts to hint at softer Brexit, she will split her own party. She doesn’t have a solution for the back stop so the DUP, which helped her scrape through this time, could side with Corbyn.

Yeah but as I said, the Lib Dems have ruled out backing him on another No Confidence motion, so he'd need to carry another 10 or so Tories over as well. And I have a feeling the SNP may well say the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 it can be taken off the table - the basis for starting negotiations should be, that in the event that a deal can't get through parliament, the UK extends A50 to avoid a disorderly exit. This, of course, means calling a GE, or legislating for a PV, as that is the only way the EU will give us more time. i genuinely don't think they will let us crash out on march 29, but I suppose there is a remote chance they could, so it isn't water tight from a legal perspective.
