Read Hugh's post - it's about misconduct in public office. You may be happy to drag us down to the standards of democracy in North Korea and Venezuela. I'm not.

Ah, you're catching up eventually.
For starters, the Brexit Party has not advocated for a no deal exit. They advocated for a WTO exit (article 24). (Just thought I'd throw that in).
Perhaps if the EU had offered or agreed to a deal and allowed it to be put on the table to be agreed we may be further ahead without such a divide having been created.
When whoever you are negotiating with refuses to come to a deal without first getting an agreement from you to have your hands tied you would be a fool not to walk away or at least offer article 24 as an alternative.
If the backstop, as the EU have continually emphasised, is only temporary and they do not want to implement it then the 10yr article 24 option should cry out for acceptance.
If not, the backstop is not as temporary as we are told and designed purely to keep us in the EU indefinitely.
