Are you now making the contention that you didn't mean that this gives us a significant negotiating advantage?

I didn’t say advantage.
You proposed what would we use, if not the £39bn, as leverage in our negotiation.
I simply advised that £39bn is but our annual trade with the EU, and some countries more than others rely on this. EU negotiators would be wise to factor this in, if it was threatened due to political point scoring rather than sensible decisions.

The silent majority always do their talking at the ballot box.

However, I do think:
1) That the court next Thursday will state that Article 50 can be withdrawn
2) That Theresa May will get her deal through Parliament. If the first event happens as I predict, it could make her position stronger as she can argue my Brexit or no Brexit.

I don’t see any of that happening......at the moment.

On your first point Parliament will always retain it's authority. What are you proposing? Revolution? Armed struggle?

Fair enough, badly worded.
Replace parliament with establishment.
