This 2 year transitional deal which everyone seems to agree on feels a lot like remaining in the EU, albeit with a fixed (for now) end date. Nothing really changes in 2019 as far as I can tell. Presumably they'll make some token change (passport colour, apples to be sold by the pound...) to appease Sun readers.
The 'double lock' promise from May is interesting, as it is virtually certain that she'll be gone well before the end of the 2 year period, and probably nearer the start. Promises made by one PM seem to hold very little weight with the next one... |

Is there a yawn emoticon?

I have to say I'm now no longer convinced Brexit will actually happen and if we move towards a "soft Brexit" - in which we remain in the Customs Union and/or the Single market - I actually see little point in leaving. In that scenario we'll still have to pay to be members and will be playing by EU rules which we'll no longer have a say in formulating; just don't see the sense in that personally.... |

China, USA, India AND the EU as major partners. That's the dream scenario. Which is to say it may only be a dream but that doesn't make it undesirable.

Doesn't feel like we're anywhere close to discussing that sort of thing though; 15 months after the referendum result - and 6 months after invoking Article 50 - it seems like we're still struggling to even get past first base on things like citizens rights... |

Now even the Tories are proposing a transitional deal beyond this 'final date' which contradicts all four of those bold points. Do you accept that you've got this wrong? |

You'd do better to admit that that you were one part right and three parts wrong than to make yourself, an obviously highly intelligent adult, appear only a quarter of your age to match being only a quarter correct.

As for our politicians in Westminster, I don't trust them an inch. The vast majority were (and are) Remainers and if they can find a way to derail Brexit I've little doubt they will. The big dilemma will be for Labour as they'll risk alienating a lot of their traditional working class support if they're seen to be frustrating Brexit; however, if they calculate any loss of traditional support will be replaced by younger Labour voters from the cities I'm sure they'll take their chance. So all in all I don't think it's the foregone conclusion you seem to believe! |

Participated in loads of these Brexit threads in the past, but really can't be arsed to read all this one.
After the utter chaos of the last few months, and the prolonged agony of the split in the future, anyone remaining that still thinks Brexit is a great idea needs admitting to the Priory....... |
