And we still don't "know" - we only have biased 'opinions' and biased 'forecasts'.
It's impossible to know unless it actually happens.

Not true at all.
I agree that EVERYONE thought that trade deals would be at the top of the negotiating agenda, and as 'no deal' would be bad for both sides - they would actually negotiate sensibly!
They didn't (for some obscure reason ???? ). Instead, the uk side just agreed with the eu agenda whilst pontificating about "no deal better than a bad deal" etc. etc.
And we were 'fooled again' into doing our best to believe this rhetoric......

They were also told that a new trade agreement with the EU would be one of the easiest things in the world to negotiate.
Which is why it's so 'odd' that uk politicians agreed with the eu agenda - trade deals at the bottom of the list....
The same applies to the eu/may 'deal'!

An 'orderly brexit' - as long as it is BRINO or remain.....
<deleted>, they've had nearly 3 years to come up with trade terms etc., and made no attempt to do so!
And yes, I blame uk politicians as much as those in the eu.

So, if you don't like May's deal, I presume that you are happy with Bercow's decision to not allow any more votes on May's deal.
So, May's deal off the table, the EU refuses any more negotiations, what does that leave you with? A no deal Brexit, which has already been voted down and no sane person wants.
Nothing left on the table for Brexiteers, not looking good. The only thing that will save you from 2 more years of my posts, and I can understand that someone applying common sense to your fanciful ramblings would give you a headache, is to have a second referendum or revoke Article 50. Hobson's choice for Brexit ostriches. What is your preference?
"So, if you don't like May's deal, I presume that you are happy with Bercow's decision to not allow any more votes on May's deal."
Obviously I can't speak for Vogie - but personally yes, I am very happy with bercow's decision ????. Both uk and eu politicians are left in a position where they will prove that they are only interested in BRINO or remain - certainly not leave!

2 hours ago, Spidey said:Not if May get's her extension, which she will.
Sadly, I agree.
But to look on the bright side, this will prove that both brit. and eu politicians are determined that the uk will not leave.
You may think that those voting for leave in the electorate will be happy with this - but I'm not convinced!

I buy NZ legs of lamb from Makro, and get them to slice it up for my dogs - so they get both meat and bone.
Edit - Trying to find reasonably priced NZ sourced beef with bone, is very difficult, and normally far more expensive.

If you have some evidence that there are more anti-EU people today then present it.
Only that uk MPs who are overwhelmingly remain supporters, are not keen on another referendum 'at the moment'.
Make of that what you will ????.
And as a result of your post going on about "millions of Brexit voters have died" (????) - I've no choice other than to (belatedly) 'like' LG's post.

I'm not unhappy - we ain't leaving except in the deranged minds of fanatical Brexiteers habging onto a forlorn hope of taking back control. That ship long since sailed.

And you "ain't" a brexiter...
So I ask again, for an opinion from a brexit supporter as to why they are unhappy about bercow's decision?
Edit - Surely this is the best we could have hoped for? Forcing both the uk and eu govts. to make it clear that they are determined to stop brexit at any cost?

Bercow has stopped yet another vote on the same issue.
So why would the eu grant an extension other than the reason that they know 'no deal' is as bad for them as for the uk?
Any bets on whether the eu will allow an extension - even though they've said time and time again that their 'deal' with may cannot be changed?

Of course it's not. But sadly there are zero 'papers that are unbiased.....
Edit - But I'm still at a loss as to why leavers are unhappy at bercow's decision!
PLEASE, PLEASE can a leaver explain it to me?

It doesn't matter, as he is quite happy driving it.
Edit - obviously I can't speak for anyone else, but my previous husband and I largely shared the same political views.
If (which he never would) have put a 'I support hunting' sticker on either car, I'd have ripped it off immediately before driving the car.
Someone in bercow's position would or should, be even more 'sensitive' about driving a car with such logos - unless of course, he agreed with it.....

50 for starters and that's due to boundary changes cause they are getting fatter and there ain't enough room on them green benches for all them fat bums. ????
And 3 years is a long time in politics and by then all them sun readers will have forgotten who's fault it was...
But this thread is about Bercow's decision, and I'm still at a loss as to why leavers hate it so much.
Edit - I've no idea how this topic has turned into a topic about sun readers.... Do you think bercow reads the sun?

I'm obviously still missing something here ☹️. Surely leavers should be happy at Bercow's decision?
It leaves both uk MPs and the eu in a very difficult position - where they're all going to have to make clear their intentions?
Can someone please explain to me why leavers apparently aren't keen on Bercow's ruling?

Whilst I've little doubt that Piers Morgan is far from a 'nice' person - blair is even less so....
With a bit of luck he'll tear blair apart. Not that it will make any difference, as blair still thinks he's popular amongst the electorate ????.

Bercow really seems to have thrown a spanner in the works!
No wonder eu leaders (along with uk MPs) are now wondering how on earth they can proceed without making it very obvious that they are only interested in BRINO or remain ????!

I doubt MPs will be stupid enough to do this, as it will prove beyond any doubt their duplicity.
I know you think the electorate have changed their mind since the referendum - but (like MPs....), I'm not at all convinced this is the case and suspect that they're not quite stupid enough to revoke article 50.
If they did so, more than a few MPs would lose their seats at the next GE IMO.

10 minutes ago, Loiner said:Bercow had to follow the rules. There are too many eyes on this one for his usual bias. He’s saved May from a third surrender humiliation, but could have shot himself in his Remainer foot.
Much now depends on the EU unanimity for an extension vote on Thursday. That’s not guaranteed.
Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa ConnectIt will be very interesting to see whether the eu agree to allow the uk an extension in view of this latest blow to the eu/may 'deal' - bearing in mind they've said many times that their 'deal' cannot be changed.
Leaving with no deal will hurt them as much as it hurts us IMO - so why would they allow an extension now that Bercow has ruled that it cannot be voted on (yet again....) in Parliament?
Rhetorical question obviously ????.

This is not about Brexit anymore. It's about British MP's acting for their constituents, the UK and not themselves. I know everyone will say this is how it always is but, in this case, it isn't. I hope that someone down the line and after this is all over has a day of reckoning with these clowns.
They should vote with how their constituents voted, It's as simple as that. What is destroying investment now is this total muppet show being enacted in the houses of parliament.
"I hope that someone down the line and after this is all over has a day of reckoning with these clowns."
That "someone" would be the electorate ????.

Go to 41mins of this video, maybe Bercow the pompous remainer, has in fact unwittingly done the British people a mighty favour.
Thanks for posting that video as I couldn't see how Bercow's decision could possibly help remain. (In my defense, it was very early in the a.m. when I read about it....).
It now makes a bit more sense, but it relies on the eu granting a long extension (in the hope that uk leave sentiment will be worn down by the end of that extension) - or that MPs will vote to enact legislation ensuring that no deal is not a possibility.
A huge gamble, that I hope he has misjudged.

1 hour ago, vogie said:John Bercow knows the rules, but he only uses them for his own agenda. He is an europhile with 'blox to brexit' on his car. The speaker should remain impartial, but he is anything but. In his defence he knows many big words, so may be better suited chairing 'The Good Old Days'
I agree, which is why I was suprised to hear that he'd put his foot down re. a third vote - especially as it appeared as if more MPs were prepared to vote for her deal next time round?
As posted by Basil B - "I suppose we will have to wait many years before a top civil servant/government advise sheds some light on this in their memoirs".

Germany's Merkel ready to fight to last minute for orderly Brexit

Please quote my entire post, but yes - one of the reasons I decided not to vote was because I trusted brit. politicians even less than eu politicians ☹️.
If uk politicians are allowed to get away with ignoring the referendum result - they will be even worse in the future....
If they are not allowed to 'get away' with ignoring the electorate - they will be a bit more wary in the future????.
