unreal.
it's tragilarious that a toff groomed his whole life for Greatness has been, it appears, completely outmanoeuvred by two women, May and Vine. Vine in particular looks to have gone full Littlefinger. |

Something Trigger posted on the Faceballs:
Britain can't even start the often years-long process to negotiate new trade deals until AFTER Brexit has completed. That would suck to have any business interest with the UK unless it's under the aegis of a pre-EU trade deal. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-...endum-36678222

What do you reckon? I'm thinking maybe down to the wire staring down the barrel of a hard Brexit, May suddenly ousted, sweeping support to stay with just the lightest fluff to justify going against the referendum. Voices of dissent resoundly ignored as everyone breaths a sigh of relief as they realise the catastrophe they've narrowly avoided.

I dunno man, I detect an overwhelming desire to watch a loathed group of politicians work extremely hard to make the impossible happen, get mocked by EU, then crucified by their own party, then blamed for inciting the whole mess.
Once the first referendum was complete, the vote was for leave EU, and David Cameron was resigning I reckon all of the UK realised the vote was rushed, and the information presented to the public was way too simplified and divisive. The bigger picture and ramifications began to emerge... From that moment on, I reckon the UK voting public made an unspoken pact to never be taken for such a ride again, and the people that lied to them must burn. |

Spoke with a British couple over here on holiday a couple of weeks ago. They were totally pro-Brexit when they left England, but after going through several different countries (not just European ones either) they'd changed their mind.

No deal. UK to leave EU in 2 weeks! No easing, just cut ties and suck it.
All trust in political parties is eroded. This may also be the end of party politics as we know it in the UK. |

I love that they're willing to call a snap election but there's no mention of having a second referendum despite the petition.

the first people's vote the UK took as an opportunity to finally be heard by politicians, while also being misinformed on what Brexit actually is. For some, a vote to leave was a stiff middle finger to party politics, and for others it was an answer to their anti-immigration prayers.
May, and others believe a second people's vote would be undemocratic. But they ignore the fact that the propaganda around the first referendum was also undemocratic. I personally believe a second people's vote would truly represent what the people want (and probably what they always wanted), which is to stay in the EU. Some believe Brexit was a move against the EU for introducing anti-money laundering / tax evasion laws that would mean UK would need to be transparent about it's tax havens, and assets in trusts (see Panama, and Paradise Papers). Seems plausible. I doubt UK can change leadership, ask for another extension, come to a consensus amid leadership changes and pressure from public. If parliament makes a "Stay" vote now they will be capitulating to the public demands, and it may take decades to restore the status quo and convince the voting public that they have no voice in the UK democracy. Add to that Scotland is making noises that they want to stay in EU and their first move towards that is to declare independence. Ireland may follow suit. Speaking of flowcharts, this one might be the most accurate: https://www.reddit.com/r/brexit/comm...xit_next_steps |

I heard the point on the radio the other day that its nearly 3 years since the brexit vote.
That's nearly the time between votes for whole governments, so while 3 years ago people may have wanted to leave. That might not be the case now. And I agree with Nich about some of the reasons why people voted to leave, and that it's more than likely that the stay would easily win this time. |
1st April 2019, 12:48 | #71 |

The other day Nigel Farage stated that the vote to leave would increase if it were to be held again. Sounds like a theory that needs to be tested if you ask me! I highly doubt it but imagine if he was right...

Hard brexit here we come, unless somehow all parties agree to stay with no change. But really, all that hot air and NOTHING changes?
Could be a good thing for the Commonwealth countries. UK might restore power to its truly global empire through the member nations and put more energy into strengthening these relationships that existed well before EU. |

I don't see any deal being made, seems like he's going to try and steam ahead with no deal. It'll be up to the courts to stop it.
