If you want to see lies address the 80+% of MP's who endorsed Article 50 to effect our leaving the EU and the manifesto promise of the Conservative and Labour governments at the last election to take us out of the EU. What was said is now water under the bridge and those recalcitrant MP's/Political Parties will get their come uppance at the next GE.

Sent from my SM-G7102 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app All a new Brexit party will do is lower the number of Tory MP's, not because they'll win, but because they will help other parties get over the line. Exactly why Cameron attempted to quell UKIP for a generation by offering a referendum. I could see a Labour, SNP and Liberal coalition with the condition that any Brexit deal is subject to a referendum against a remain option. And I believe that Brexit is then dead in the water.

Well you obviously didn't listen to me pre referendum. You, like 17 million others, probably had Brexit fever and filtered out anything that went against your pink unicorn dream. If, as you seem to indicate, you would be satisfied with a no deal Brexit then you are correct, there is no point in developing your post Brexit ambitions (pink unicorn dreams) as you will clearly have your Brexit filters switched on when the worlds leading economists speak and would prefer to listen to Numpty Nigel.

aright Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I found this comment on Mrs May's deal in todays paper. For those who approve the deal it makes an interesting read. May's deal isn't brexit end of. Here are just a FEW reasons why The UK is shut out of all EU networks and databases for security – yet no such provision exists to shut the EU out of yours. (Article 8). The UK is bound by EU rules on procurement rules – which effectively forbids you from seeking better deals elsewhere. (Articles 75 to 78) The UK will be tied to EU foreign policy, “bound by the obligations stemming from the international agreements concluded by the Union” but unable to influence such decisions. (Article 124) The ECJ is your highest court (Art. 86). The UK will remain under the jurisdiction of the ECJ in certain areas until EIGHT years after the end of the transition period. (Article 158). The UK will still be bound by any future changes to EU law in which it will have no say, not to mention having to comply with current law. (Article 6(2)) Any disputes under the Agreement will be decided by EU law only – perhaps the most dangerous provision of all. (Article 168) Arbitration will be governed by the existing procedural rules of the EU– this is not arbitration as you would commonly understand it (i.e. between two independent parties). (Article 174). You give up all rights to any data the EU made with your money (Art. 103) The EU decide capital projects the UK is liable for (Art. 144) The UK is bound by EU state aid laws until future agreement – even in the event of an agreement, this must wait four years to be valid. (Article 93) Any powers the UK parliament might have had to mitigate EU law are officially removed. (Article 128) The UK will be liable for future EU lending. (Article143) The UK will remain liable for capital projects approved by the European Investment Bank. (Article 150). The UK will remain a ‘party’ for the European Development Fund. (Articles 152-154) The UK will remain bound to the European Union Emergency Trust Fund – which deals with irregular migration (i.e. refugees) and displaced persons heading to Europe. (Article 155) AND THE EU CONTINUES TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH MONEY THE UK SHOULD PAY IT And, of course, the UK will agree to pay £39bn to receive all of these ‘privileges’. You may never be allowed to leave the 'transition' phase. It will depend on the good will of the EU. Do you remember when Mr Blair returned part of its rebate in return for an EU promise to reform CAP? The EU did not keep its promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aright Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Patriots should vote down Theresa May’s deal – it is the worst for the country of all the alternatives The deal does not deliver Brexit except in name. Not only does in not deliver Brexit, it also makes it impossible for a future Prime Minister to deliver a real Brexit as well, for many years to come or indefinitely. The momentary relief from some Leave supporters at nominally leaving the EU is sure to turn to anger, disillusionment and blame when it becomes clearer and clearer that Brexit has not been delivered, and that the Conservative Party in particular – including the Brexiteers – has failed to deliver real Brexit and has delivered a locked-in fake Brexit instead.

We have come together to support the British people’s decision to leave the European Union and take back control of our laws, our courts, our money and our borders. https://lawyersforbritain.org/patriots-should-vote-down-theresa-mays-deal-it-is-the-worst-for-the-country-of-all-the-alternatives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRich Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Yep, keep voting down the deal. Then we can have a general election where the Tories will lose seats, and be ousted by a Labour and SNP coalition ... followed by a second referendum ... followed by no Brexit ... no Brexit ever, because time is not your friend. Yep, the Spartans of the ERG snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. History lesson ... the Spartans lost, whatever happened to Sparta?

Can you clarify whether holding a vote on the exact same thing over and over again until the "correct" result is obtained is (1) perfectly reasonable and fine, or is (2) a monstrous affront to democracy and wholly unacceptable?
