That is auite a daft analogy, because in your example the result is the same - you've finished your dinner and you are not going back to eat more of it.

We voted to leave the EU. As Mick says, we did not vote to half-leave. All the alternative options the remainers have put forward involve not completely leaving.

You can dress it up all you want, but we voted to completely leave the EU. The politicians need to get on with it and stop faffing about.

As 44% of our export trade is with the EU, government knows they need to protect that. Of necessity they are looking at leave options that do the least damage to trade.

mrmistoffelees scenario needs the addition, that the meal is in a restaurant that they want to be able to continue to patronise, even if they want the freedom to patronise other restaurants unfettered as well.

Yet again, we come back to the old chestnut of Brexit = leave the EU. As we've found out there are many ways in which the EU can be left.

People who say leaving means leaving without a deal, that's fine, That is their interpretation however.

PS. Why would people be fearful about not leaving the EU? Frustrated and angry i can understand, but fearful ?
Proof that the debate has not, and most likely will not, moved on since the result. Remain can’t accept that a hard brexit is exactly what leave voted for and they knew what they were voting for. Until they do it’s Bill Murray time.

I think it was.

Leaving the SM, CU and jurisdiction of the ECJ. That was Crystal clear.

Where? Farage spoke about a Norway version of Brexit, others referred to Canada + and other options such as the Swiss have.

Which poll are you looking at - because I am not see this as it currently stands at 30 total votes?

They are not joint campaigns.

Labour is not a Remain Party, with Jeremy Corbyn at the helm, so cannot include their totals for the leave camp.

Conservatives are trying to deliver Brexit, despite their FUBAR attempt. so we can include theirs.

So BREX and Con totals are 14.

LD + Greens + SNP + ChUK's = 12.

Not voting cannot be included either way.

Leave is currently winning, if were to total up all the different parties - but the parties are not merging or campaigning as one movement, so we're not going to join the totals.

Ah - but Leave means that in the "other restaurants" carrots don't have to be a certain length and bananas don't have to have a certain curvature - you know what I mean.

This has been proven many times to be untrue - sad to see it still being promulgated...

And the carrots standard was about carrots being a certain width at one end to be a Class 1 carrot, not length, and that ruling was scrapped in 2008...

Bananas

Quote:
A Brussels ban on bendy bananas is one of the EU’s most persistent myths.

Bananas have always been classified by quality and size for international trade. Because the standards, set by individual governments and the industry, were confusing, the European Commission was asked to draw up new rules.

Commission regulation 2257/94 decreed that bananas in general should be “free from malformation or abnormal curvature”. Those sold as “extra class” must be perfect, “class 1” can have “slight defects of shape” and “class 2” can have full-scale “defects of shape”.

Nothing is banned under the regulation, which sets grading rules requested by industry to make sure importers – including UK wholesalers and supermarkets – know exactly what they will be getting when they order a box of bananas.
