Re: Brexit
As was pointed out on various media outlets, everybody launches a leadership bid, so when an actual decent candidate emerges a they can then end their bids and support said candidate in return for a nice top cabinet position.

In my book, Gove and Hammond sit at one end and Grayling and May the other with the latter two battling for the throne of most incompetent. The rest slot in between them. I judge the Cabinet here on their competence, not their political beliefs.

It is however pretty routine in European countries where coalitions and confidence arrangements are the norm and manifesto delivery is always down to the art of the possible. That’s the scenario we are now in, and the only question we can ask is whether parties are trying to live up to their manifesto, not whether they actually do it.
I appreciate your need to grasp at any straw that might, just possibly, de-legitimise a No-Deal scenario but ultimately Parliament has already ruined your hopes by legislating in a way that makes that scenario the default.

Not desperate, just honesty. Something, you are fast losing a grasp of.
BAAC* it is then ...

You have not been honest once, just displaying your tantrums and stamping your feet because your side lost a legitimate, democratic referendum.

You have drawn the wrong conclusion. Whether voters wanted a deal or not is subjective. Some, like me, were quite happy with a transitional arrangement leading to a trade deal.
But what you are missing is that the majority of the electorate voted to leave.
Given that a deal with the EU on terms Parliament is prepared to accept is not available, the default is no deal. But it is Brexit, which none of the alternatives offer.

Very interesting, Andrew. And how do you judge the Shadow Cabinet?

Logically and legally how could the default not be no-deal? Article 50 governs.

Au contraire (to use posh french words ), I have been honest and consistent since day 1. The referendum is illegitimate and undemocratic for a variety of reasons (long since stated and repeated).
You just disagree which is your right.

Re: Brexit
Surprised the hell out of the people in the polling station by turning up a couple of minutes after 7 to vote ALDE is probably the political party in the European Parliament that most closely reflects my views so I voted appropriately

Re: Brexit
It will be very interesting to see what the voter turn out is, for a process that is usually in the low £30% bracket.

Re: Brexit
We voted first thing, several other people there, also a very long ballot paper. No party hacks in the entrace hallway, pity, I would have told the Tory to get rid of that bloody woman PDQ.
