Christmas Tree 4685 Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 I’m all for a successful Brexit but Westminster looks to be struggling to deliver it. If I woke up tomorrow and it was cancelled I’d just get on with my day. Much prefer no brexit to bodged Brexit. If Labour had a stronger leader they would be romping home.

The debate is over. You think so? The Daily Mail commentariat, who I use as a barometer for crazy right wing thinking, all consider the prospect of NI having different terms to be tantamount to 'giving NI to the EU'. Treason. Selling off the UK. No deal is better than a bad deal. This has a long fucking way to run yet. How practically achievable Brexit is, is far less important than how Brexit is perceived.

There will be a general election this year and a hung Parliament/narrow Lab maj and Brexit will be cancelled. All in all it's all down to Labour now and how much fight they have.

I just don't think anything was lost in a strategic sense by not committing to an assault on Brexit before all the pieces are on the board, whereas Renton and ewerk seem to think that barrelling into the issue while May technically has the ability to manoeuvre, is the way forward.

I think if she sorts this week and gets to phase 2, then she’ll step down pretty quickly and a new broom will revamp the cabinet and give it a year or so to get a deal without calling an election.

It doesn't matter what the Mail readers say, once it's agreed there's no going back. BTW did you see the front page of the DM this morning? Not a single mention of Brexit.

I’m pretty happy for any version of Brexit that allows the main benefit (IMO), free trade deals. I see no point in a “bodged” Brexit that prevents us from doing them. Might as well just cancel it. A no deal WTO Brexit would be blocked by parliament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parliament has been given a vote on any end deal. WTO means that there's no deal and therefore nothing for parliament to vote on. If there's no deal by March 2019 we're out and default to WTO whether parliament likes it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
