Leavers expected us to leave the EU, no half measures. All this nonsense about whether voters wanted only half measures is just silly.

If we have a text which gives us back our sovereignty, stops free movement, ends the customs union and gives us back control of our agriculture and fisheries after the relatively brief transition period, I shall be very happy, as will most people who voted leave.

Re: Brexit

Rumour circulating that she's going try and buy Labours votes by promising a General Election. She can't rely on her own party.

Therein lies the problem. Many of the key leavers suggested otherwise. Here's a reminder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xGt3QmRSZY

The Parliament gets to debate, amend and veto it along with the council. The commission cannot pass laws except under very specific circumstances (Technical laws) The Ordinary Legislative Procedure has the full scrutiny of direct or indirectly elected representatives. In addition, the council and parliament can suggest laws to the commission.

But we have has this discussion many times and it seems that because the way the EU does things is different, it is wrong even though our government along with all the others at the time approved it in the Maastricht Treaty and beyond.

Robert Mueller is seeking more information about Nigel Farage for his investigation into Russian interference in US politics, according to a target of the inquiry who expects to be criminally charged.
Jerome Corsi, a conservative author, said prosecutors working for Mueller questioned him about Farage, the key campaigner behind Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, two weeks ago in Washington.

The hard leavers take the vote literally, yet the leave campaign was anything but.

As someone pointed out on News Night, 17+ million do not speak for the whole population, no matter how often this is repeated.

No such thing as a hard leaver.

The question on the ballot paper wasn't...

"Do you want to leave the EU hard?"

As for the rest of your post - yet again - it's one sided rubbish with you.

The Remain campaign played by the same rules, in other words they took the referendum literally too and also LIED!!!

Guess what - that person on News Night is talking utter bollocks, as I keep telling you and it will continue to be repeated, as it is fact - you cannot keep bringing "Whole population" argument in to this, it is irrelevant, those who did not vote, could not be arsed to vote, do not count afterwards.

You really do need to stop bringing this weak and pathetic argument up every other day, it is misleading and highly irrelevant.

Calling a point weak, does not address the problem of a deeply divided country that has seen the problems being laid in leaving the EU. Things are not simplistically black or white, but shades of grey.

I do not want a cliff edge departure, but this is what looks most likely.

But it is weak as an argument by yourself as a means to stop the Democratic decision.

Cliff edge, what's a Cliff edge ?

It's only language used to by Remainers with their project fear rubbish, I do not recognise such language.

Democracy must prevail and that does not mean holding several referendums on the same issue again and again.

Re: Brexit

Lots of reader comments on the FT about the deal. This sums them up.
Quote:
And like that, the Remainers are proven right: the only faintly acceptable deal looks similar to membership except that it costs more, we lose our citizens' rights, and we lose our voice at the table.
And so why bother to Leave?

Yes they do, that's the whole point of a referendum.

Everyone had their chance to vote, if they didnt take it, well thats tough.
