You should spend some time contemplating what your gut feeling wishes would lead to.

PR; Compulsory votes for life regardless of geographic location tied to our NI nos; Voting from home via a secure Govt gateway using 21st Century technology and the abolition of two party politics does it for me; All of which are within UK's grasp thanks largely to Farage; and lets not forget TWO NEW Parliaments. One of whom for the only Country in (or should I say out of) Europe that doesn't already have one ????????????????????????????

Give me ONE reason - except Brexit might be over forever - why the outcome of the Brexit (no) deal may NOT be presented to the British voters ?

Give me a reason why you are so interested in the UK in the EU. You seem to be obsessed with it. I have an excuse.

 No compulsion, fair enough, but why such a reluctance to answer a very simple and straightforward question. I will tell you why I’m on this topic, I’m British and the outcome of Brexit will effect me, and more importantly my children.

As I observed, there is no compulsion to share personal information, share whatever you wish and keep to yourself whatever you wish.

Maybe because I am just intrigued how a complete nation of 65 million try to commit economic suicide for already 3 years …

And YOU thought, all this, what is now happening on the other side of the "cod pool", does NOT influence the life of me, and my (great grand) children ?  When something in the UK goes terrible wrong - what is my opinion - then we all will suffer, despite UK companies migrating to continental EU. Remind the Greek disaster just a few years ago, and in fact still pending. A UK catastrophy will have a gigantic high influence here.

Enough reason to follow the Brexit. The world economy is not the situation as a few centuries ago. Maybe.. a non-Brit might care too...

It would be foolish not to have Boris as leader according to the polls.

British democracy: the one with the most votes gets all in that barony ( sorry, nowadys: constituency), and the rest.. nothing.

So, with 5 nearly equal parties, and Boris the Liar 20,1% being the highest, he ( his fellows) will win that seat. Get 50% + 1 of all seats, and.. you have the governement with just over 10% of the votes.

I agree. It's a fascinating subject. Actually, it's much more than an economic issue. It reveals all the fault lines in this country. It's like a scalpel.

In order to avoid any misunderstanding, I am not particularly rejoicing about it. I hope this country gets united again but I have strong doubts about it

I too am intrigued how you as one person knows much more than 65 million British people or certainly the majority of the voting public, there is a word to describe it, come on, help me out here here, what is it?

Maybe not so clear: on TVF members are able to mention THEIR OPINION. 

I never said, I know all better as the 65 million British. Maybe I am better in SEARCHING info on Internet as quite some British ?

But looking at last referendum in 2016: 48,11 % had the some opinion as me: Brexit is NOT wise, better 'Remain". Just a 51,88 % wanted to "Leave", without making a choice, under which conditions and what the consequences might be. Till now, 3 years later: no majority for any of the alternatives,

During the election for the EU parliament, the Brexit part got a 40%, the others were split over parties, which reject Brexit, or.. among themselves, cannot come to a conclusion. Also NOT MY invention, just copy for a British publication. see https://www.businessinsider.sg/european-election-results-uk-regrets-brexit-votes-remain-2019-5/ 

Maybe some ideas: https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/WP_SITEURL/blogs/peter-kellner/european-election-results-the-death-knell-for-britains-two-party-system 

Even in last bye-election in Peterborough, the Brexit party did not win the seat, but Labour, see  https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-48532869 ( and the rest .. got nothing, these votes.. evaporated ) 

 

Looking to his man: I presume he is NOT THE ONLY ONE who regret he ever backed Brexit.

Wawrzyniak, a former chef at Noma in Copenhagen who has worked in Britain for 15 years and established his own UK restaurants, originally backed Brexit on the basis that it would make it easier for restaurants to select British produce. But he has changed his mind and says he will ultimately refuse to apply to live in the country he now calls home. ( but for many Brits.. as welcome as .. the Plague" ).

Again, not solely ME, who knows this all better, but.. read and learn + copy

I totally agree that the British economy is important on an EU and a global scale. This is why it's surprising when the non-Brit EU participants on here are so dismissive of the UK, talking as though the UK has no bargaining power, and telling us to just get on with it. 

 

It is in everyone's interest for the UK to leave the EU in an orderly manner with a fair deal.  But if the EU refuse to change their awful WA, we should all work toward an orderly exit without that WA. 

Why the EU should give the UK a better deal as May already got ? It is the UK what wants to leave the EU, not the opposite. The UK still has the option of no deal. 

And for sure, with 65 million consumers behind , you will get a MUCH BETTER deal as the EU with 525 million. For sure, the EU, will NEVER insist to have at least the same deal as the new UK on its own.  Budgens Stores Ltd, Fulton's Foods also can get better deals as.. Aldi, Sainsbury, Tesco, etc.
