Unless legislation is passed - we automatically leave with no deal on 29th March. That’s the only thing we can be sure about. Why do uou think the financial and betting markets don't believe that. Is the above a secret that only you are aware of. The reality is with well over 400 MPs publically against no deal it is unlokely to happen. The existing legistlation allows for the date to be pushed back by a simple amendment. The only risk is that the EU does not allow the A50 to be extended, this seems unlikely but possible they will lose patience if we want to push the date back just to carry on arguing with ourselves.

Please take the time to read the document,and acquaint yourself with how our process is meant to function.You will see just how badly our so called representatives have been violating THE LAW OF THIS LAND for decades. That means the referendum IS NOT advisory. It is legally binding, and it is MANDATORY process.MP's are not allowed to enact their own will over that of the populace on affairs such as this.THEY MUST,BY LAW, implement the decision that has been come to. Almost every international treaty we sign "gives away" power over something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crouch Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 8 hours ago, Dorkins said: U ok hun? My point was that the 2016 referendum was a mandate to leave the EU, not a mandate to leave the EU without a deal. Other forms of leaving the EU are available and they are 100% compatible with the 2016 referendum result. The referendum "Leave" was unconditional; you are interpreting it as conditional.

You imply this is a one way process: it isn't. Treaties are entered into because of mutual self interest; you give with one hand and take with another.

For the Conservatives that is probably May's deal. TM's deal is now totally finished with, that was made clear last night. It is looking like the only way out of this now is Referendum 2 with just two choices 1. Remain 2. Hard Brexit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers burnt twice? Ouch! My expectation is dilly dallying until Thursday 28th March 2019 11:59pm then A50 withdrawal, many £'$ will be made by the insiders.

localhero1983 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Having slept on the result last night and just putting Brexit politics aside for one minute, however it is done Theresa May really has to go now. The Tories don't really want her there, all the other parties obviously don't want her there, it is like being led by someone who is not fit to be there because there just is no alternative. The UK deserves far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of betrayal has always been on the cards. Have you only just realised this? It's been this way for the last 40 years. The most foolish thing leavers did, was believe a word they said about the benefits of Brexit. There are none. But leavers have to beleave. I, as a remainer, already knew the system is bent and anything said comes from a shrivelled heart of self-interest. Brexit is not for the man on the street, they don't give a toss about us. It's for them to fill their enlarged pockets. We have a faux democracy here. Poll tax, Iraq war, oil money squandered by Thatcher's regime, expenses scandal, Russian money etc. The lies told before the last referendum confirmed we now have an African banana republic political system. It's dislocated, arcane, corrupt and incompetent. New system needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course immigration will continue. In fact I'd bet it will just go up. Brexit is 'for them' not you and me. Massive con, the whole thing.

I have no issues personally with so many of the Eastern Europeans over in the UK, it was the best move this country made immigration wise in a century along with the influx of more Jews. Sadly Joe Bloggs living in Hitchin or Wisbech just will not see it that way, it's the only channel they have had to express themselves in decades even though they are totally screaming at the moon when it comes to Immigration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 55% of our trade is to and through the EU. The problem you have is assuming you are governed by competent people that could negotiate new trade deals. Again, the truth is we aren't. Not a chance of anything good for the country coming from Westminster. Surely last night's rubbish was glaring proof of this? Non-EU immigration is going up. Laws like the snooper's charter? Yup we need more of that. Brexit is not for the people. It's for JRM and Co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not. I lived in Canada, a much smaller economy than the UK, and they entered trade deals and won much of what they wanted. If they didn’t get what they wanted, they would walk away. The EU has no clout because it can’t agree on anything because French Farmers and German auto makers ill always disagree and dominate.
