Chaos turned up the morning after 17.4M people told Cameron to get on with it. With Gerard Batten currently being surplus to requirements how about BJ appointing him as UKs EU commissioner? ('Spanner in the works' an' all that!)

And parliament has decided that would take priority. Current consensus is that johnson's brexit deal falls short, albeit there is a ground swell in parliament, as has been shown, who would continue to honour the referendum vote, despite this. Now the extension has been obtained, brace yourself for an election, which regrettably would focus more on brexit e.g. like this forum, than more critical domestic matters, e.g. like getting on with the actualities of life. You mean Bojo's Brino "deal" falls short of the remainer's dream of staying in the EU (by about 50%)? Election? Labour will need to brace the most and with head between knees, preparing for the long kiss goodnight. Right now there are no more critical issues than Brexit.

I think you are talking rubbish with Art 51 of UN treaty. Which legislation are you reffering to ?. Under the UK constition the government has powera to conduct and enter into treaties at international level. However these powers dissapear once Parliament occupies the field. Thus the so called Benn Act.

Only in Scotland are the people sovereign. In England and Wales its parliament which is sovereign. To my utter shame I am not sure about Northern Ireland but I suspect its the same as England and Wales.

October 28, 20196 yr 2 hours ago, stephenterry said: The reality is that whatever deal is constructed, it's going to be a lousy deal, and would be rejected by various segments of parliament. A no-deal is just as bad, as it could never be a clean break from the EU, primarily because the UK government would still have to negotiate on all the outstanding and unresolved issues. So honoring the leavers continued mantra, 'democratic will of the people' is totally immaterial and inconsequential to the actuality. That's why a transition period is required - and that could take several years to complete. This 'deal' isn't the final word. It's just the basic framework agreement that allows the UK to leave. The details still have to be ironed out in the transition period that is already agreed by both the UK and EU to be part and parcel of leaving the EU. There can never, ever be the prefect deal with all factions onboard and we've had almost 3 years of parliamentary obfuscation already. What there hasn't been so far is any willingness to compromise in Westminster and that mainly because both the Tories and Labour, through decades of existential angst, desperate coalitions and weak leadership, have far, far too much to lose if they end up getting it totally and horribly wrong. Either could end up in the political wilderness like the Lib Dems. They must be doing something very wrong if the Lib Dems suddenly have a discernible following and see themselves as a viable alternative despite their revoke article 50 and people's vote nonsense. Oh yes, and the SNP shouting ever louder, "Freedommmmmmm!!!!!" Whether we leave with a sweet deal, a bad deal or no deal, there was always going to be hard and complex negotiations. The hard Brexit would mean starting from scratch with a long transition whereas a good deal, soft Brexit or bad deal would mean there was already a framework and points of reference to work from or build on and a shorter transition. But the hard work of Brexit hasn't even bloody started yet. There was always going to be a period of detailed negotiations, a transition period if you must but the Remainers keep painting these successive bad deals as being 'it'. No more negotiations, a door slams shut and thus indiscernible from a hard Brexit. It's simply their panic-stricken campaign of disinformation and perpetual failure to accommodate the fact that 52 is and always will be bigger than 48 running riot.
