Current Affairs EU In or Out

[JimmyJeffers]

So far, May has really been accommodating of the EU, thinking that they would reciprocate. She has little experience in neither negotiating nor European proclivity for arrogance. I really hope she has learned something this last week.

If she has, she will push no deal for all it’s worth and finally show the EU that we are not messing around. If she does, they will come back to the negotiating table and find solutions to those things that were impossible. And if they don’t then so be it, we will take a short term 2-3 year hit then progress, while they work out where to get their finance from........

2-3 year hit is optimistic in my opinion. We’re still in austerity. Council spending has been decimated.
We’re in a fragile state. Any ‘hit’ now is going is going to last a generation I reckon.

From what I understand the MPs can have an input to how this plays out now. I think there will be more than just a vote on May's deal so it won't just default back to a position of no deal.

May will not give them a choice. Why would she. It will be do my deal or it’s no deal. That’s the only gambit she has left.....

Revoking article 50 is by a collassal distance the best of the three possible outcomes for the country, if MP's genuinely care about their constituents they should be shouting that from the roof tops

I doubt it. Even WW2 didn’t last a generation, and we were back on our feet after ten or fifteen years. This has all been overdone and the older generation who have seen these things before are not buying into the scare stories. The kids will obviously be concerned, but they needn’t be.......2-3 years max and we will be growing again.....if not before....

Don’t be silly. We voted to Leave. That’s it. Their constituents voted by a majority to leave. If they ‘care’ about their constituents then they will do what they voted for.......

 

[Khalekan]

We don’t need a vote for no deal, just a rejection of the deal that May produced. At last it feels like we are going to face off the EU and dare them to have no deal......which I am more than happy for at the moment......

lol lol lol


That statement reminds me of an old Ealing comedy.......I cannot decide if it is Passport to Pimlico ot The Mouse that Roared.

I’m sure it does, except Pimlico was not the UK’s largest market, unlike the U.K. and the EU......

“we” didn’t “vote to leave”.......32% of the people of the UK voted to leave.

So don’t be thinking there is some great groundswell of opinion out there ready to oust their MP when this madness is finally laid to rest.

My five year old granddaughter didn’t vote to leave, nor to stay. But of those that actually did vote, the majority voted to Leave. So don’t think there is a groundswell of people who want to remain either....

But Pimlico had found priceless treasure and wanted to keep it all for themselves.....much like the famous “£350 million per day for the NHS” that was written on the side of a bus.

It’s all an illusion.

any idea what percentage actually of the population actually voted to remain?

 

[Kurt.]

Of the 52% who voted to leave... how many based that vote purely on the control of borders issue ??

Sorry to bring that up but it is becoming clear that some leavers... and I do stress it’s some not all... still have no idea what either leave or remain means in the future. It’s been the elephant in the room for a while but it does seriously have to be taken into consideration.

The HOC can make and pass amendments you are correct, but that is not legally binding her leaving on the 29th of March is binding legally an act of Parliment just like article 50 ......
it's the time that is running out for the HOC to pass any new bills ......
I feel she is stalling to head to the EU to get the legal parts of her crappy agreement through......by the threat of no deal!
