EU leaders agree Brexit delay until October: diplomats

[brewsterbudgen]

a shining example of yet another government refusing to do the task the voters want.

Then let's have an Election or a 2nd Referendum and see what the voters want now. Or is it only politicians who can keep voting?

Forgive me for thinking out loud, but the way things are going we might be better if we;

a) Revoke article 50 (bear with me...)

b  ) Sort (route-and-branch) Parliament out (PR, Compulsory voting, Elected HoL)

c ) Trigger A50 as soon as the above has been completed (years!) followed by UDI the following Monday if the result remains the same.

 

I'm not entirely serious but this is a monumental clusterf...????

I agree entirely on a).

 

On b) I agree on compulsory voting but I doubt you’ve thought through what PR would deliver.

 

If a) happens c) is not going to happen.

 

I agree entirely with your closing comment, though I understand we don’t agree on the causes.

Thank you chomper. Whatever PR delivered would be an improvement & if EU had been a little more approachable and accountable from the onset we may never have opted to leave in the first place.

Without quoting the ECJ ruling on the revoking of article 50 they did say it could not be revoked and then resubmitted, though I doubt they could stop the resubmission.

 

Personally, I think Revoke it now, lick our wounds, leave it until after the next general election (hopefully in 2022), where every party can take instructions from their membership at the AGM's and decide on a united platform and a clear manifesto on leaving or remaining and what form of Brexit they are looking for, then if one party has a majority they can put it to another referendum, if not the ruling coalition is going to hash together an agreed form of Brexit, or even leave it until after the following GE.

Agree, I think a few tweeks particularly to the free movement issue, nobody in their right mind has anything against people from other member states coming to the UK on a preferential basis to work where there are jobs as log as it is on a level playing field, ie they pay their taxes etc,  or even living here if as long as they are a net contributor.

Untrue BS 

We have not handed over £39Mil that is the deal if we Exit under the current deal on offer... a single one off payment to be staggered over many years.

 

If we leave no deal we don't pay it, if we remain we will continue to pay our subs, I assume on a prorata basis.

 

The terms of the deal yet to be announced, but as pointed out there is a danger to the EU of a successor to being someone who could block all EU business as threatened by the loony ERG...

 

By the time they get rid of her Nigel may have rejoined and been elected as her successor by the few remaining members, Yes the EU has cause to be worried, but even if we do not have a vote at the top table we should be heard...

 

  

 

 

 

7,150,000,000 the cost of funding to the end of October

Sorry, but as I see it without a referendum we will still be kicking that same old tin can down the street this time next year   ...and for years after.

May will get her P45 very very soon..someone like David Davis as interim pm..then its GAME ON

Our once thriving fishing industry doesn’t look set to return for some time. 

Germany and France pull the good cop, bad cop routine on May and she thinks she’s done ok,In the meantime we’ll hand over another £39 billion to the European shop stewards committee.

Bring on the euro elections then, should be a laugh. 

 

Spot on. It's so obviously just theatre, with Merkel and Macron hamming it up to ensure the Withdrawal Treaty they helped draft is foisted on a punch-drunk and largely bemused British electorate.

 

Unfortunately, the mass media is either too dumb to realise what is going on, or shamefully conspiring a cover-up by no-platforming the likes of Gerard Batten, who predicted precisely this kind of Establishment sell-out before the Referendum had even been held!

Don’t let Davis know what your plan is, he’s doing his best to be forgotten.

When you say ‘Elites’ are you referring to the tax shy Billionaires, Multimillionaires, hedge fund managers and assorted Old Etonians who bank rolled, funneled unaccounted foreign funds to Brexit and ran the Leave campaign?

 

It seems pro-Brexit lobbyists were bank rolling the DUP to the tune of GBP 500k - to fund their pro Brexit campaign costs of course, ahem!

Seems like it. That will snowball no doubt and raise the legality of the 2016 referendum adding more weight to the necessity of a further referendum which I have no doubt will be to remain by a majority of the eligible voting public, unlike the minority as was the case in 2016.

Not much seems to have changed since Oliver Cromwell said that in 1653.
 

 

That would be the Oliver Cromwell who hijacked the English Revolution and made himself military dictator?

"A Brexit extension until 31 October is sensible since it gives time to UK to finally choose its way," Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat tweeted

 

Or, as a TVF member less diplomatically posted on these pages a few days ago:

 

"The EU will allow as many deadlines, extensions and suspensions as are needed to give the UK time to change its mind about leaving."

Surely there has to be a general election or reluctantly, a peoples vote.  There is no sign of May getting any further with her dire proposals or moving her ridiculous red lines.  To accept Labour's proposals would see May as toast and parliament is never going to allow leaving with no deal. 

 

May should stand down and then a general election.  The lesson for the future must be, NEVER give a referendum to the people when you don't tell them the truth of what it entails.  In fact never give the people a referendum.

- All the better to purge Bercow, May & all dishonorable members that went against their constituents/manifesto/A50 pledge.

- They won't in our lifetime.

 

UK can eventually expect to see the English finally getting their own Parliament & FM and PR becoming the norm in UK politics. Anything less is no longer acceptable.
