It'll be fine. America who have just slapped billions in tariffs onto the EU, because Boeing planes crash, will give us a deal.

What? In bad faith? It strikes me that the current proposal is made in good faith. If the EU reject it out of hand, how could it be us not acting in good faith?

I don’t know why you’re all so worried. If you are right we are leaving. If you are wrong... ![Confused](images/smilies/confused.gif)

If he is so scared why has he tried to get an election on more than one ocassion and each time the remainers have denied him.

Because he was trying to force no deal through an election on which he could stipulate the date, hence no extension.
You know this, I'm not sure why you are demonstrating an inability to understand the blindingly obvious. It's beneath even you.

Assuming that the "what we agreed" is what was in May's withdrawal agreement, our Parliament never agreed it. So the UK never agreed anything.
Sure, the EU will try to set a price that amounts to the full £39 billion minus dues already paid, but those additional dues were to pay for the privilege of the transition period.
If the current offer from the guvmin forms the basis of a new deal, then I can't see us baulking on the dues.
If we crash out, then those "dues" are not owed but the EU will try to make them part of the price of a trade deal. My instinct is to tell them to do one - a nasty greedy step too far. If the EU negotiate with us on a fair, normal basis, then so much the better.
Fun still to be had, perhaps.

I know it's only ardent remainers who want an extention.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
If, as people say, the current Backstop idea would put the UK into an inescapable tie in to the EU, then we wouldn't be out would we.
If, as the EU keep saying, the backstop must stay or exist in a manner acceptable to them (HA), it seems to me that they themselves are forcing the 'no deal'.
Of course, it must be said that the EU wouldn't want a deal that grants the UK any favours, but their only alternatives seem to be either a no deal or a half baked excuse of a deal that's not even a deal people want.
anyway, back to the second half . . .

It's more that the country doesn't want no deal, not that it wants an extension.

The UK was tasked with finding a workable alternative to the backstop agreed with Theresa May. Remember, this was significantly different from the EU's original suggestion of a NI-only backstop. How workable the UK's suggestions are will be evaluated now.

You’re probably 48% right.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
It's impossible to say all 52% want no deal. Absolutely impossible.
