I don’t won’t it but I’ll take it , it’s certainly preferable compared to no deal .I’m still not convinced it’ll make it though , given the position of the DUP , it’ll certainly be closer though .
If Boris votes for it having said it’s worse than actually being in the EU he’s probably even worse than JRM.
The problem everybody has, both in parliament and in the press, is that they've all dissed it off as the worst possible agreement. In reality it is only a legal withdrawal agreement and a set of guidelines for the further discussions on the future agreement.
At the end of the day, the withdrawal agreement on the table is the only way we are going to leave the EU. That isn't changing. The backstop is an issue for some, but to move forward you have to trust that the EU want a trade deal a much as we do. I think the way are trying to avoid a no deal is proof of that. The stand off has to end. The opposition have seemingly been OK with the withdrawal agreement. Their issue is with the future relationship document, which at the end of the day is only a set of guidelines. But because everybody has spent so much time saying how terrible it is they are all now frightened to backtrack.
It's absolutely crazy how our politicians have got themselves into this position. All it takes is for the UK and EU to agree on a bilateral customs and trade deal, which they pledge to work towards within the future relationship document, and a lot of fears and concerns have been removed. Including the dreaded backstop.
I really don't think this deal is anywhere near as bad as most have been saying. And it represents an outcome where both sides (remain and leave) have made a concession which is required of the country is going to come together gain.
