But as it stands. Germany is on brink of recession. Ireland’s economy could crash also if No deal becomes the only way forward. The EU cannot afford to take such a financial hit.

They’ve offered really only to extend A50 or revoke it, that was overwhelmingly rejected last night in parliament, a second referendum will now not be entertained, the Cooper Amendment and Grieve Amendment could have paved a way for this, but that got killed last night.

No, the EU wants us to keep voting. Well, we’re not singing to their tune and the cracks are appearing all over the place.
I'd honestly like to know what makes you think that we will absorb any financial hit better than the EU will?
