Re: Brexit (New).

Jonathan Pie is a fictitious British news reporter but, whether you are a Leaver or Remainer, please watch this:



Warning, there is some choice language but the points he makes sums up the last 10 years perfectly ...

Re: Brexit (New).

I hate Jonathan Pie. It's the same routine each and every time and he never even understands the underlying points. There is one where he is whining about moral/social messages in films and says this brilliant line "It's the politicisation of art and therefore the end of art". Idiot.

We know the pathetic game they are playing.
It will make things better. A well informed electorate will make a choice based on facts and not speculation. Said referendum will either affirm the first result or overwhelmingly reject it. No person who claims to value democracy can deny that.

Far from pathetic it’s adding value to the process.

What if they have another referendum and the choices given lets say 6 and they are all pretty close what do we do? Just go with the one with the highest votes regardless or argue that the next one down is 8 people away from a win?

So you think the points he makes are wrong. Interesting ...

I think he understands the underlying points more than most. More than Cameron ever did.

I do think May is slowly browbeating Tory MP's to back her deal but if she can get near the number she needs, how does she get over the Bercow ruling?

Old rees smugg needs to have a good look at himself imo, this deal was so bad a month ago he tried to bring down the pm, it's not changed, if it was that bad then he shouldn't be voting for it now

Also shows a pretty poor grasp of English to describe these "games" as pathetic seeing as they're getting what they want, if anyone is looking vulnerable, miserable, inadequate or pitiful it's not them

The most popular choice of any six is remain. Any two leave positions vying for second is about seven million votes shy.

If there’s a single leave position with 16 million votes I’d gladly support it.

He's not changed his mind, Dave, he's just been forced into answering a different question. May's deal or no Brexit.

So not content with letting Parliament take over from Government, you now want the general public to take over the business of governing from Parliament.

Interesting. Good luck with that.

Even, *gasp*, JC is now uttering phrases like "MPs should consider public vote on Brexit deal".

Things like the Petition and the March in London will vividly remind the MP's in Parliament that they need to vote in the country's interests and conclude this debacle with a solution that tries to be inclusive to both sides and failing that, asks the people to make the final decision.
Of course, everyone is worried. I agree that the Brexiteers need to sign up to May's deal. Given that 'no deal' has been ruled out, the Withdrawal Agreement is the only way to deliver what the electorate voted for.

Mogg knows May's Brexit is worse than Remaining, but is financially reliant on any form of Brexit.

When even ardent Leave supporters can see Remaining until another day is better than May's deal, maybe parliament should re-think the whole process.

Of course it's not worse than remaining. It paves the way to a trade deal with the EU, negotiations for which have not yet begun.

JRM simply held the view that it was better to negotiate from scratch, from outside the EU.

Re: Brexit (New).

The ERG has been playing for No Deal because they think that’s the best outcome and because they thought it was achievable.

They still think it’s the best outcome, but now they know it’s not achievable. Mogg is correct to say that Brexit is a process, not an event. The single most important thing we can do right now is to regain sovereign control over everything we have surrendered to the acquis over the last 40 years. Certain actions may continue to be limited on our part by treaty, but bilateral treaties that can be renegotiated or terminated in the national interest are an entirely different proposition than the acquis communautaire, which all member states are obliged to accept in its entirety without possibility of withdrawing from bits of it.
