I am with you on that one, Damien.

Something that I thought Theresa May has already ruled out. I don't think anyone should be taking a position on this until the detail of the deal is known. We don't even know the highlights yet.

None of them are elected apart from;
- The Commission President who is proposed by the elected heads of state and voted in by the Parliament
- The 28 Commissioners nominated by the 28 countries governments and voted on by Parliament
The Commission can propose legislation but cannot pass it, that's the job of Parliament (directly elected) and Council (heads of state indirectly elected in most cases)

Of course I want a good deal for the UK, who in the UK wouldn't? However, it's a basic sales technique to understand and appreciate your adversaries priorities. It's not defending Ireland or the EU to understand and appreciate why they are acting in the way they do.
In the case of our recent discussions, appreciating the GFAs aims and how the CU and SM facilitate this gives a baseline for future negotiations. Both Northern Ireland and the Republic very strongly voted in favour of the agreement so there is a clear will to continue the agreement in some way or form. It's now down to the UK and EU negotiators to find that way.
The EU negotiates as a bloc for the EUs and member states interests. The EU is not going to happily or willingly compromise it and its' member states interests to facilitate Brexit.

We all know that and have always known that.
I repeat: The EU want to sabotage Brexit and their use of the GFA is a ploy to do that as well as a brazen attempt to protect only Ireland's economic interests. Surely, that is to be deprecated.

In the end we're running out of time and May actually has to find a workable solution. If the Irish border question is solved then someone needs to let the Government know instead of dismissing it but 'not telling' what the alternative is.

You have a very strange idea of democracy, not elected by the people! Being elected by the establishment doesn’t cut it i’m afraid.

The commission are the law makers, the parliament gets to debate it.
Our own unelected chamber is at least only there for oversight! They cannot make or propose any laws. The EU model is not compatible with proper Democracy

Do you know who leaked it or are you assuming it's the EU?

Re: Brexit
If "Brexit means Brexit", how come there is so much disagreement in the Government and the Conservative Party about what Brexit means?

I'm not sure talking down-to-earth sense with the likes of BoJo and Rees-Mogg will really cut their mustard.

Because the definition of Brexit for some is very much different to the definition of Brexit for someone else hence the omnishambles of the last 2 years.

That's at the heart of the issue. The Government should have negotiated a withdrawal deal with the EU before offering people a vote. Then people wouldn't have had to vote blindly and we wouldn't have such splits in the Government.
This is not some cosy philosophical chat over a few ports in Eton, it's about the future of the UK, its inhabitants and citizens.
