30-40bn was the reasonable due based on previous EU budget UK signed up to, giving us some sort of a transition deal. We have had 3 years to get ready but UK Gov has done diddly dot.
As for EU position, yes extension will be granted but only on the proviso new elections or referendum might be held.
I think every blind man and his dog knows the country needs an election or Brexit referendum.
Over to you democracy experts.
Either way, THE most important thing - above all else IMO - is that some semblance of democracy is seen to be served which will enable life to carry on more or less as normal.
I find this quote really feeble. Our Parliament is our democratic process. It is not a matter of seen to be democratic but being so.
Lost count how many times I've repeated the referendum was only advisory and Parliament has tried to debate and reach some decisions but numbers didn't add up. Even though DUP was bribed by a few £100m per vote.
That was democracy at work. We also have had post-referendum elections and Tories lost the majority.
The fact that some hard nut Brexiteers don't perceive that as their comprehension of democracy is neither here or there. The highest court in the land has also ruled on it.
It beggars belief that you can put up some feeble line about being seen to be as such whilst ignoring the hard democratic truth played out in Parliament.
And now the same very scoundrels will turn the next elections to be about people versus the establishment. Sort of a fancy show style revolution. What's difficult to stomach is it is manipulated by the very rich snotty people who don't give a hoot about the people, social services or paying their way in the UK but prefer to loiter their money into safe havens.
Experts on democracy need to get a grip imho.
