Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Ruairi77]

I think everything will remain exacally as it is mate. Parliament will go about business as usual and every time Brexit is mentioned in the future they'll say that there are more pressing matters to attend to right now. Basically their strategy going forward will be to stick their fingers in their ears and hum as loudly as possible whenever Brexit is mentioned going forward.

the way I see it,
There'll be two more votes this week.
By the end of the week parliament will have voted not to leave on a no deal and extend article 50.
By late march the EU will agree to extend article 50 by a few months.
This whole circus will happen again in late May when article 50 is about to run out (again).
There's no way this is getting swept under the carpet.
And still, after years of reading this thread, I cant see the practical advantages to leaving.
The UK will tear it's self apart before it comes to the same conclusion.

I hope we do get a second referendum because the last 3 months have proven that EU are the bad guys and our government is incapable of sorting things out.

So if the vote still remained leave then it would be quite amusing to see them struggle again

Are the EU the bad guys?

Why should they bend over backwards to accommodate us?

Do you think we'd do the same if the shoe was on the other foot?

Leave with no deal and put your money under the bed.

The idea anyone from the working class will benefit from leaving the EU is mentally challenged in my book.

And it was all going swimmingly for the working class before...

Can it be extended?

I think ultimately it's up to Europe, and if they want shut of us then there's not much we can do

Yeah agree it is up to Europe. Hopefully they will take pity on us as we are a complete basket case of a nation.

That IMO is the best way out of this. The next GE will be in part fought on leave or remain, but I think we’ll end up with a coalition govt committed to either remaining in the EU, or leaving the EU but staying in the single market.

This no deal extreme right wing philosophy has ran its course and we can all see it for what it really is.

Politics in this country will never be the same again

 

[Ruairi77]

This is nailed on at this point.

just the opposite, there's no way in hell the EU will allow an indefinite article 50

Brexit itself as an issue might eventually go away but the devide that the issue has brought to this country and it's people won't. I'm afraid this episode has irrevocably damaged and devided our nation and it's people in a way that will take generations to heal.

Sadly this is probably the case

It's a divide that has always existed though, it's just Cameron upped the ante

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

This however, I doubt. Neither side will want a GE right now. It would more then likely result in another minority government for the Tories again and it's carry on as you were time.

Yeah it’s ripped our country apart.

Frank......if you opened a bottle of beer tonight and a genie popped out and offered a straight choice between May out and Silva out, which would you choose?

Milf out

I'm sure the EU will want us to stay in, and will try and accommodate it if we decide to reject Article 50, but they're not going to have unending patience with us either

At some point they are going to have to kick us out if we don't get our ducks in a row, just because of the message it'll send if they don't

They will if they sense an opportunity for us too see the light and drop any further notions of Brexit, although it may linger for a time just like a bad Guiness fart.

MILF?

I think the EU will only agree to an extension if there is either a 2nd referendum or a General Election. There is no point in going through all this again in 3 months time.

A GE is the only option really. Get rid of this DUP supported government and the likelihood increases of there being an 'NI only' backstop which would be acceptable to most MPs, allowing an agreed Brexit to take place. It is May's dependence on the DUP that has stymied this whole process.

Do the honourable thing May, call an election and resign.

Milf as a mix of may and silva not a reference to May alone lol

If she hasn't done it by now then she never will

Yup we may well end up with something along the lines that Corbyn proposed. Leaving but staying in the customs union. And yeah I hear ya about the DUP. Time to salt those slugs
