Brexit and the Consequences
- Thread starter Atilla
- Start date
Teresa May will get her lousy deal through next week because the spineless MPs would rather agree to that than have a long extension of Article 50. Even if she fails, she'll just keep nibbling away at the ERG and the DUP and bringing her deal back again and again until they eventually cave in. So, it looks like it's game over to me, time me thinks to iron the white handkerchiefs and practice waving them submissively.
Teresa May: 1 / UK: 0.
The very best that brexiteers can hope for is that - for a third time - her deal fails to get the backing of Parliament and that Nigel Farage is successful in lobbying Eurosceptic leaders and one of them exercises their veto to the EU granting us an extension. That's the only way that I can see we'll leave on the 29th. But the odds against that happening are longer than a very long long thing. Likely as not, this time next week this thread will be history.

If I were the EU - I would not grant an extension to UK unless presented with something substantial resembling a plan.
Three options:
1. Accept current withdrawal agreement to progess to next stage (third time lucky? I hope not as £39bn cost for two years is ludicrous)
2. New elections (unlikely as Tories will lose to Labour)
3. Another referendum (voted out)
Daaa daaaaaa - Postpone/Cancel Article 50 - Best option coming to you very soon!

Shall we have a vote to decide if we are to extend the thread
Dear SC,
Nothing would give me more joy than to hear Eurosceptics and Brexiteers pack up their bags and leave the Tory party. I may even get to vote for them one day again.
However, I think that is unlikely. Consequence of Brexit will be carried around like long-wearing luggage for sometime to come.
I think you do have an OCD element about you though that's for sure.
Brexit has become a drug to the UK, self indulgent intoxication with thyself. Withdrawal symptoms will be tough to deal with.
People have forgotten what life was like before Brexit. Be nice to visit the good old days again.

2. There isn't a snowball in hells chance that Labour will form the next Govt as long as Corbyn and McDonnell are at the helm.
3. Another referendum on what! May's deal or no deal as we have already voted to leave. So remaining is not an option.

I agree I vote to keep the thread running, after all what would I do with 4 hours of each day without it, it's like an intravenous thread drip
