The EU are fools for giving the UK government what it asked for at least to some extent?

Re: Brexit (New).

The dates are ones which work for the EU. Both main scenarios either involve us leaving before complicating the EU elections or being in the EU elections. I think it kills May's deal though because she can't say 'this, or we crash out tomorrow'.

Enough of the winding each other up - I’m quite generous in giving Forum breaks for provocative posts.

Some members, could be given their last 3rd break before being permanently banned. Sick of it.

As a staunch remainer, how do you think Parliament will be able to stop a no deal exit?

Do you think that can be negotiated and passed by April 12th? I don't


Here in lies the rub, any sort of soft Brexit would probably entail us remaining in the customs union and have us retaining freedom of movement. (basically in the EU in all but name, but without the rights of a member state, whats the point ?)

There would be many millions of unhappy leave voters who would probably never vote Tory again for their belief that May failed to implement their vision of Brexit.

going no deal would see the tory's out of power for at LEAST two terms, possibly more.

May now gets to chose whether she puts party or country first , she won't be allowed to put country first....


So, as Parliament have failed to implement Brexit and are paralyzed. it's time to shit or get off the pot, No Deal vs Remain. winner takes all.

No it is not.

Also - How many times do I have to say this?

Their votes on amendments are not legally binding!!!

Only Theresa May can revoke Article 50, she cannot be forced to do so by any amendment vote in parliament. The Government is the Executive and it can only put forth Primary Legislation. Any private members Bill that attempts to change Statutes, the Government still has one last Nuclear option, as it is the Executive, it can advise the Queen to veto any Bill and it will not receive Royal Assent, no assent, means it won't pass in to law.

the government have commit themselves to hold indicative votes in April so all options can get voted on

the ERG could come to regret not backing her deal as vast majority of parliament wont vote for a no deal and her deal was best could get with the red line of no CU or SM

best chance now for the ones that want a no deal now is a second referendum and no not calling for one bit ironic really it now best chance they got for a no deal

Re: Brexit (New).

What’s the odds of any such Government surviving a vote of no confidence?

one slight problem... no deal is the default legal position, not something to be voted on....
