Would you seriously believe anything this government tells you.

Coming from the guys who seriously believe websites peddling Conspiracy Theory mush.

What happens after Brexit (if it ever happens), as much as some would like to believe otherwise, is unknown. We'll know when we get there. It may be fantastic. It may be awful. It may be something inbetween. Nobody knows.
What isn't unknown is what being in the EU is like. We have 40 plus years experience of that, and if the EU is as wonderful as Europhiles are always telling us, why is the country in the state it's in, and why are other EU member nations also in serious trouble? Not that the EU should take the blame for all of Europe's woes of course, but it does beg the question, or at least it should for those still capable of free thinking, is the EU project really working? If it isn't, is it capable of reform? History rather suggests not and if they come out of this Brexit battle having shown that it's really not possible to leave this organisation, even if you want to, chances are they'll feel their hand has been further strengthened. Next time the EU does something we don't like, what are we going to do? Threaten to leave? I think the laughter might just carry from Brussels to Bangkok.

Don’t blame N.F. or UKIP for the majority of Brits now wanting to leave this so called Union. Put the blame firmly where it belongs, on those tin pot Bureaucrats in Brussels. If they, and our political masters had left the EEC as it was, a trading union, there would have been none of this upheaval.

Let's Go! Say the Tinpot Conspiracy Theorists.

For all the blather and bluster of the Hard Brexiteers here, there is one thing they cannot get past and that is that they cannot muster a majority in Parliament for their position. End result? Pull down Theresa May and get Jeremy Corbyn. Sense of reality should strike, but unfortunately a lot of these guys are Kamikaze Pilots, so crash and burn it is as they nail themselves into their cockpits with only fuel for mutual destruction. Sterling still watch out.

Well SW due to this site malfunctioning, it has taken me about 3 minutes to retrieve your post, was it worth waiting for, no it certainly wasn't. 

In future would you mind posting more sensibly please, it's really not worth the wait.

Time to buy a faster laptop with those Brexit-devalued pounds maybe?

How will you pay for yours in order to overcome the same problems from your own vantage point?

Please tell me the clear tangible benefit for this gamble.

Adding 'Proportional Representation' to my previous observation might help in future elections; indeed Ferage might have won by a landslide were it already in place.

Proportional representation? .....'er the UK has already had a referendum on that one. Want another?

How do we stop Brexit but avoid Corbyn? If CONS agree to go Norway plus, would that work?

You try to compare Brexiteers on "here" to a majority remainer UK Parliament. Real blather and bluster.

Agreement at last. Hard Brexiteers acknowledge that they don't have any majority in Parliament. Just irrelevant here. Carry on.

The question is what is possible given the current scenario. The primary objective is to avoid a disorderly exit beloved by the Hard Brexiteers.

'Serial replays' aren't my thing but I guess the usual culprits scuppered that too. I wonder why?

Is Norway type of deal still offered by the EU? Will it be, when the UK parliament votes down the May deal?

IMO Norway sounds worse than staying in and has even been questioned by their PM ????

Every Brexit scenario is worse than the year 2015 status for both EU and UK. 

 

But as this has gone for so long, is there a political will inside EU to let UK to change the deal as it's not something UK can do by herself. 

 

If I understood correctly Norway was not eager to allow UK's large economy to join EFTA for couple of years as it would change the power balance quite significantly for smaller members.

For Hard Brexiteer read Brexiteer; All we expect & voted for is to leave the EU, all of it and permanently. They will implode in due course & for as long as we remain unbillically connected they'll try to take us with them.

Yeah, yeah, we know the Hard Brexiteers want to sell that story, but no sale except to themselves. In the real world in Parliament HB does not prevail. Got it?

I was disagreeing, of course. Carry on.
