Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?


  • Total voters
    194
  • Poll closed .
How is possible that politicians from 27 different countries, cultures, languages, INTERESTS, etc can be more united, go as a block and get their shit together than 1 party from 1 country?
 
Genuinely think Corbyn is playing the game. I could see him switching his stance on a second referendum in an instant if he became PM.

Complete shitstorm by the Torries.

Cameron should be impaled.

Been a shit show for the last decade. Yet many continue to vote for them.
 
The referendum was not about trying to seek a deal if leave won, which is why Cameron resigned. It was May who introduced the desire for a deal.
Cameron was very clear what remain and leave meant, and was also very clear that he thought the UK was better off in a REFORMED EU.
If the big corporates and banks, along with Parliament have no desire to leave the EU, why offer a referendum?
It was the rate at which euro scepticism is growing that forced Cameron to include a referendum in order to win a majority government. Then when the vote went against him he resigned because he understood that the vote meant "out of everything, but get a trade deal if we can". Parliament is now overruling this, and we are now in a situation where Parliament are trying to tell us that no one really knew what we were actually voting for.
You didn’t answer the question.
 
In corbyns closing remarks he sounded more likley to call for a Norway style deal than s 2nd ref... "Accept the result... Will of the people etc"...
But officially no policy other than force a general election... Which as you say he will fail to do tomorrow
The shadow business secretary was asked that very question by Andrew Neil after tonight’s vote and she refused to give a straight answer.
Nonsense. I guess we’ll know by this time tomorrow.

That said, a second referendum would be an utter disaster.
 
You didn’t answer the question.

Yes I did. The original vote was "out of everything", then seek a trade deal if possible.
The discussions here while leading up to the referendum were all bout whether or not the UK could achieve a trade deal if we voted out. Remember?
The arguments were all about what incentive the EU would have if we left. The reality now is all about what percentage of leaving is possible.
 
Guessing once significant renegotiation is ruled out by the EU parliament will pivot to debating withdrawing article 50 or another referendum.

May will have to go and likely be a GE too.
 
As a life long Labour supporter, I think Corbyn could potentially really feck it up for Labour by taking the reins. It's a poisoned chalice and whilst you might say he's obligated to do what he is doing, he'd be better to let the Tories continue to decimate themselves. He won't do any better at this point in time, but I also feel his stock isn't very high at the moment with the anti semitism shit storm on going and he won't win a GE. If by some miracle he did, he'd be unable to steer the nation out of the mess and Labour could end up more of a ruin than it already is.
Problem is they are taking the country with them.
 
If the no confidence deal fails (which it will), then is the Labour strategy definitely to call for a second referendum? Or is that not confirmed by anyone particularly senior/official?


Yeah me neither.
 
The EU won't renegotiate but it's only a soft brexit that can pass parliament. Just bin the whole thing ffs!
 
The prime minister’s spokesman told journalists:

We want to identify what would be required to secure the backing of the House consistent with what we believe to be the result of the referendum.

We want to leave with a deal and we want to work with others who share that.

The spokesman declined to be drawn on whether the talks would include Jeremy Corbyn. On this point he said:

Let’s not pre-empt talks before they have happened. We will look to engage widely with people we believe share our objectives.
 
Coming next: A referendum to leave NATO.

Hey, why not? Another 350 million per week for NHS would be brilliant!
That's pocket change. Imagine the 500 million per day we could save if we just leave Earth!
 
Why do Labour keep harping on about renegotiating a deal when the EU have said about 17.1 million times that the deal on offer will not be renegotiated?
Because red unicorns are real while blue ones are not.
 
Can someone explain why she originally delayed the vote?
 
That's pocket change. Imagine the 500 million per day we could save if we just leave Earth!
We’d have to have a referendum on that. Imagine it; those bloody aliens coming down here through our sky borders, living amongst us, taking our jobs. Earth morons would unite and vote for us to leave earth.

Meanwhile in the whitehouse, trump is picking a Twitter fight with the martians
 
It’s not a question that the general public can, or should answer.

And what would the question be? A three-way vote, an unclear leave/remain vote? If no deal is on the ballot you leave the insane possibility that the British people could vote for economic disaster, and food and medicine shortages.

If a form of leave won a second vote, I think it would be an utter disaster. And I think some sort of leave campaign would be more likely to win. The leave campaign would;
1) Have even greater anti-establishment credentials, being able to claim that the politicians had betrayed the last vote.
2) Politicians and journalists have created even more of an anti-EU sentiment, with some of the nonsense around negotiation tactics, putting the blame on Tusk and Junker for the UK’s failings and lack of clarity.
3) Fall back on all of the lies they made at the time of the last vote. See how the likes of David Davis have spoken utter nonsense after leaving the cabinet, completely ignoring that he’s lead the majority of the negotiations.
 
Yes I did. The original vote was "out of everything", then seek a trade deal if possible.
The discussions here while leading up to the referendum were all bout whether or not the UK could achieve a trade deal if we voted out. Remember?

No they weren't - but the withdrawal agreement is not a trade deal - it is a means of getting to the next stage to then start discussing a future deal from April onwards but that's now been rejected.
 
If the no confidence deal fails (which it will), then is the Labour strategy definitely to call for a second referendum? Or is that not confirmed by anyone particularly senior/official?

The motion was as follows:

Should Parliament vote down a Tory Brexit deal or the talks end in no-deal, Conference believes this would constitute a loss of confidence in the Government. In these circumstances, the best outcome for the country is an immediate General Election that can sweep the Tories from power. If we cannot get a general election Labour must support all options remaining on the table, including campaigning for a public vote. If the Government is confident in negotiating a deal that working people, our economy and communities will benefit from they should not be afraid to put that deal to the public.

There's very little wiggle room only on the timing. They may hold out for the next round of failure but at some point soon they'll need to call for an extension to allow for a referendum to happen. I'd give it 3 weeks before Corbyn faces a leadership challenge if one isn't put forward.

The talk on this seems to suggest a referendum will easily get through parliament but i doubt it will. I can see a significant number of Labour rebels going against it.
 


Yeah me neither.

That tosser Burgon said similar on the BBC.

I guess that allows them to give the impression that they’re trying to do something, without ever actually having to come close to voicing a difficult opinion? C*nts.
 
Had to clarify what would happen in the event of a no deal brexit - can People in the UK still play Euromillions or not!?

Surely she'd have to prepare for that before any vote to begin with?

I thought it was done so she can still be PM a bit longer, before fear mongering as she pushes it closer to the exit deadline.
 
The fact that Corbyn can't win a vote of no confidence in a government this bad, means that he's the one who needs to resign more than May.
