It really shows that people were expecting a much better deal.

 

In this situation, it's only natural to reconsider; reality doesn't seem to cut muster where Brexit is concerned.  Anyone would think we're buying a pack of gum.

Yes, in this case he has a valid point. Otherwise, if the HOC is majority remain then why didn't it just ignore the whole thing then? Maybe they are finally trying to do that right now... but the dust is still high in the sky.

Not looking good for May and Brexit. Do you think they'll get over it?

You want German economists who espouse more European integration, and support quantitative easing to have more say post Brexit?

 

Odd bedfellows you choose.

 

Are Deutshe Bank backing up ‘David’s’ point of view by increasing investment in the UK, or are they waiting for the fire sale?

The BrexIteers' dream for Britain.......

 

The problem with arguing for a flat earth is that in the end your reasoning collapses because the premise is incorrect.

• Thus it is demonstrated here for Brexit......Britain is, was and always will be part of Europe.

 

The no-deal warnings miss the point. The (alarming) short-term cost of Brexit is dwarfed by the long-term cost.

 

Decades of lower growth, missed opportunities & narrowed horizons will mean more than a few months of drug shortages. They will mean a permanently stunted country.

 

The UK can mitigate many of the worst initial impacts and it will - not least for presentation purposes, but becoming a third country, obliterating our services sectors will have a profound impact on our long term prospects.

Brexit is such a waste of time, money and resources. The young voters will ensure we either remain or rejoin. The money spent on Brexit could have been used to save lives of less fortunate people in the uk. That would be a real government serving the people.

But when brexit is done and dusted the UK will not be wasting money taking care of non UK folk in countries that have done sod all...

It's official: We've run out of time to prepare for no-deal Brexit

If you believe they will completely abandon their GE manifesto then what is that you fear?  The unknown?

The EU doesn’t have to persuade anyone to return. The majority of UK wants to stay in the EU. They are  being forced against their will to leave by undemocratic Brexiteers and their accomplices in politics who deny them a referendum based on the truth and facts and rather go ahead implementing a referendum result that was based on lying to the people. That’s true totalitarianism. 

 

What will happen is easy to predict:

 

Every politician who isn’t completely out of his mind understands by now that campaigning to remain in or rejoin the EU will be a guaranteed victory in the next elections. That means either existing politicians and parties would have to turnaround 180 degrees and stop their “respect the referendum result” nonsense (which in fact means to ignore the people and implement the will of a radical minority). Or we might see new politicians or even a new party emerge who will leverage this opportunity. 

 

Either way, the UK will remain or rejoin the EU, then obviously on different terms and in an even closer membership than before. We might even see the Euro in the Uk. 

 

This will be good for everyone obviously. Only the grumpy old men somewhere in Whatsoeverbury and Pattaya will keep raging but eventually  will have died. In the end, we will have to say thank you to Boris & Co for bringing the EU and the UK and the EU itself closer together than before.

we will have to wait and see if Labour party agree with you a recent poll indicates 19 Labour MP would lose their seats

Jeremy Corbyn faces losing 19 MPs if Labour tries to block Brexit – shock poll claims

LABOUR will lose a swathe of MPs at the next general election if the party tries to block Brexit, an opinion poll revealed on Friday night.

 

Research showed that any attempt by Jeremy Corbyn's MPs at Westminster to frustrate the departure from the EU would lead to Labour candidates facing defeat in 19 of its 25 most marginal constituencies held by the party.

The survey, carried out by the polling firm IQR for the Brexit-supporting pressure group Global Britain comes on the eve of the start of the Labour conference in Liverpool, where delegates are expected to vote on calls for the party to back a second EU referendum.

Leave-backing Labour figures from tonight urged activists and trade union representatives at the gathering not to put the party's election hopes at risk by backing the call.

Kate Hoey, Labour MP for Vauxhall and a prominent Leave campaigner, said: "I'm not surprised at this. Whenever I go outside London I am constantly told by Labour supporters that they wish my party would stop playing politics on the issue of our leaving the EU and get on with ensuring the delivery of a proper Brexit."

Brendan Chilton, of Labour Leave, said: "This research confirms our view that if the party does commit to supporting a second referendum then it will lose far more than it gains.

"We will lose around 20 seats in the survey and see our vote depressed in many Tory-held seats as well.

"The majority of voters don't want a second referendum and want the Government to get on with Brexit.

"It is only a small group of people in London that wants a second referendum."

So never mind what is goodfor the country and good for individuals, it's just politics that count

 

I understand that if Labour backs remain, the Tories will loose 20 of their most marginal seats

I find Thailand an interesting pointer to what a post brexit might look like in a few years if the hard liners get their way.
