Cable Forum - Brexit

No majority there for a hard Brexit though. Just 26% of the country wants that. A close deal with the EU will satisfy no one but is probably the best solution. An ideological hard Brexit won't heal the nation's divisions and it could set the Conservative Party back decades.

Well, given that the EU won’t back down on the backstop, there’s not a lot of choice other than to leave without a deal.

From the man himself:

Conservatives unlikely to deliver on Brexit by October 31.

Nigel Farage.

Looking like Remain unless the Parliamentry maths changes. Even Nigel Farage acknowledges we will still be in the EU come November.

One can only assume Farage is a liar, as opposed to offering objective political analysis.

and there's me thinking that "offering objective political analysis" was just a fancy political term for telling lies :D

I don’t think anyone can speculate on anything until the new PM is announced.

So I’ll probably have a Brexit holiday until then.

ALL tallying in the world will not remove the fact that the UK does not want to remain in the EU - this is a fact now from several elections and a referendum.

Can't we drop the "you're lying, no I'm not, yes you are"? It does nothing for the debate and gets us nowhere.

This is all interpretation of the available, incomplete data. Nothing is absolute here ..

Re: Brexit

Well Brexit has made me very political so much so, for the first time I joined a political party.

To give a clue it has Brexit in it :D

We need to demand the parliements summer recess is cancelled or they are suspended from being a MP and cannot partake in any business for 6 months.

They need to deliver what they said they would do.

Nope I'm done with labour, I could never vote tory as my local MP is not same sex friendly, which would go against my niece, the Lib Dems are a joke run my a senile old fool, Greens want us living in caves.

So Brexit all the way.

Second vote looking far more likely following Jeremy Corbyn's endorsement.

Quote:

Jeremy Corbyn has pledged to support a second referendum on any Brexit deal after the Labour leadership came under overwhelming pressure to halt the exodus of its remain voters who backed pro-EU parties at the European elections.

Re: Brexit

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has refused to explicitly back the idea of another referendum - despite increasing calls from within his party to do so.
