Could someone please explain why it was ok for Brexiteers to not vote for May’a deal but suddenly it’s not alright for Remainers to even ask for time to look at the deal?

You’re asking two different questions. The brexiteers wouldn’t vote for May’s deal largely due to the backstop. Something many remainers were opposed to as well. It’s strange how pretty much every political journalist and commentator was able to read and pick apart the WAB overnight yet for the paid, elected MP’s it’s too much work. The reality is none of them expected Boris to get a new deal with Brussels. He did so now they’re kicking the can down the road yet again. Utterly transparent.

As for your final sentence, I do hope that voters remember the actions that their MP took and vote accordingly. Time for, hopefully, a decisive return to a majority government to sort out this snivelling shit show parliament and make some progress.

I love the fact that brexiters have been groomed so well that they forget that 48% didn't vote for this yet they think that GE is going to result in a landslide victory for a Tory party that keeps threatening no deal, you couldn't make it up....
A GE will result in another hung parliament, currently the HoC has voted for a brexit deal (lets be clear on that voted for a WA deal) but have quite rightly said the single most important deal in our recent history needs more than 3 days debate, yet so vast is the average brexiters insight (into something they haven't read) they think that's not needed. You know where the stairs are in your house and where they lead, but you wouldn't run down them blind folded would you? (I'm beginning to wonder)

That said I do think the government should grant additional time even if it means missing their 31st October exit date; they're going to do that anyway but if they got an extension for say a couple of weeks that should be more than long enough for MP's to give the legislation the scrutiny it needs. As we're constantly being told, over 80% of the latest WA is unchanged from Theresa May's original and hence the content of much of the resultant proposed legislation should come as no surprise to anyone; therefore, those who claim they'd need months to assimilate it are either not up to the job and/or are just looking to block and stall the whole thing (as they have been doing for a couple of years now). In terms of a GE result, perhaps it will return another hung Parliament and perhaps it won't; however, the current one clearly isn't working and needs changing (sooner rather than later IMO). |

Yesterday the brexit secretary didn't know all the detail in the WA bill (again such a damning position is just brushed aside by the groomed) so please don't try and pretend that you do or that the HoC is a position to sign off on the thing without first reading properly it's not a Jack Reacher novel.....

But do MPs actually read all this stuff - dont they have underpaid politics student researcher types to precis it down into words they can understand, and then the whip comes along and tells them the bits their party doesnt like?
I couldnt understand why he was going for an election when they have agreed it but its not in - then I decided - he is going whilst he has one slightly positive thing to say (I got a deal that the house backed) and one slightly negative thing to say (that other party / parties stopped it being implemented, they are against the will of the people) and is hoping that gets him through... no chance - but it might mean he does less badly than JC who never comes out of anything with a whiff of positivity.... I presume Labour's position will be " we want 6 month delay to take this deal to the people to see if they approve it" (how many days will we be given to read the whole of the act?) Shambolic. As usual. I had great fun (not) trying to explain the risks associated with Brexit to our Board in Singapore and Hong Kong yesterday.... " so we are due to leave in 10 days but we dont actually know if we will or what will be in place, if anything".... |

Rumour has it that @225 makes more in reputation points from this thread than we are paying to the EU in divorce settlement.

I was going to ask the Mods to take it down, but instead got an extension while I set up a Poll to decide it's fete.

What i love about this thread and indeed this sub-forum is that despite people having such differing opinions on matters, it has always (from what i can recall) remained extremely respectful. Just the right amount of debate in my opinion - very rare.
Other forums i visit are simply a mess - the attitude has driven me away completely. |

While there have been some heated debates, there hasn't been all out war. This is the only forum where I've been able to read the "Brexit" thread.

As one journo pointed out this morning, two days is a long time in British politics. The PM now wants to abandon the Brexit bill he wanted so much to pass on Tuesday for an election instead. Labour dont want the election they said they did want, and now want to pass the bill they tried to vote down on Tuesday.
Noone can be trusted. Both main parties are p*ss poor, to the core.

However, let's be honest, detailed scrutiny of the legislation isn't what it's about for many. The likes of Ian Blackford are more transparent than most but there are plenty of other MP's who know fine well they won't vote to approve the bill regardless of what's in it - a lengthy extension isn't about giving them more time for review, it's about delaying things further in the hope something will come along in the meantime (a GE or a further referendum) to derail the Brexit process altogether. |

If it hasn't been ok for over a year, a ticking clock doesn't mean it's suddenly right now. Your assumption of just a few days means people scrutinise and then just approve. What's the point in that, may as well not scrutinise it at all if that's the assumption? If it needs debate, or amendments, then it requires longer. And your objection that some MP's want to stop it seems irrelevant to me, so do 48% of the public, maybe more after 3 and a half LONG years. They deserve representation just as much as the 52%. |

I'm looking forward to the next government representing the ones that didnt elect them as much as those that did, can just see Corbyn going, "no we wont increase taxes for those that voted Tory, they need looking after too".... Its a tough old world politics, you win or lose, get to do your stuff or go home.... |
