Like we weren't having a general election till 2020 you mean? I don't doubt the ability of politicians to pluck defeat from the jaws of victory for one moment!

guzzi Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 There is to be a parliamentary debate on 11 December in response to the petition calling for a second referendum when the terms of UK exit are known. Entirely logical in my view that the government return to those who mandated Brexit in the first place for endorsement of the negotiating outcome. Given the internal party divisions, perhaps, just perhaps .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe politicians............ we are all motivated by self interest , I would argue that the vast majority are more motivated than the "chap on the Clapham omnibus" Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 If brexit is reversed and brexiteers take to the streets in protest i just hope the constabulary are there to smash a few heads woody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 We will see, but I think my money is on the Brexit terms taking a form that preserves the UK's relationship with the EU exactly as is for a lengthy transitional period, and almost exactly as is thereafter. Because that makes no sense, a second referendum on the terms would provide a relatively orderly way of abandoning the whole farce. The hardline brexiteers would be wrong footed, as they would probably have to campaign for a rejection on the basis that the terms were merely virtual EU membership, but at that stage, with article 50 triggered and time running out, there would be no chance to negotiate anything else and crashing out would be the outcome they would have to try to sell to the electorate.

woolley Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Why would anyone want it stopped? Like getting to the exit of the House of Horrors and turning around to go back in. Oh and wouldn't those Horrors just love that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
