This is why the Daily Mail and the Telegraph are important in the coming months. People need to know this is the absolute best deal we are going to get. And that it's a bad deal.

The deal isn't what 17.4 million people voted for. Farage, Johnson, Davis, Fox, etc. all lied to the public. The easiest free trade deal ever? Not quite. We can't accept no deal either.

A solemn Theresa May addresses the nation in March. We haven't adequately prepared for No Deal and proposes an extension, or that we have a further referendum because leaving is a bad idea anyway. What does she care? She's a remainer, and she's toast anyway.[COLOR="Silver"]
You see, that's where you are completely wrong. This is not a trade deal, it is the withdrawal agreement. As such, it's a half way house. There's only two things to really bitch about. One is our inability to influence legislation in that 21 month period and the other is the backstop. Both only require tweaks to the withdrawal agreement, and it may be possible to correct these two issues.

However, the trade deal should ultimately give voters what they wanted.

I'm afraid that we have to accept this delay to avoid major disruption (some say) to business.

Of course, blood on the streets was overstated, but people would be very angry indeed and democracy in this country would be damaged if we ended up remaining in the EU.. TM would not allow this to happen, no matter how much some remainers might dream otherwise.
