Notwithstanding any discussions about labyrinthine process, I was asked what I would vote if I were an MP and I answered. My argument is hypothetical but it is known we can unilaterally revoke A50 and legal advice suggests the government can do so without parliamentary consent. So if that was the threat you'd vote for her deal and I suspect most of the ERG would. It might be the only way to get her deal through....I don't know.

The Uk can revoke A50 unilaterally, yes, but I understand there would have to be a majority in Parliament, surely TM can’t do it on her own, even the Cabinet can’t agree on anything, don’t think that’s a goer Unless there are changes to the backstop I can’t see WA111 getting through, it may be close but I don’t think it will pass The EU doesn’t meet till late next week, so we won’t know if or how long they will grant an extension to A50, as the 29th approaches I hope the ERG/DUP and Brexiteers throughout Parliament will have the balls to uphold the LAW and force ‘no deal ‘ through and end the doubt Ok, this will cause a shit storm but it then gets rid of the whole paralysis, and we all deal with the consequences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted March 16, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2019 13 hours ago, bwfcfan5 said: The British government can unilaterally revoke A50. See this as a scenario - May's deal goes down. The EU reject an extension. Parliament has already voted against no deal and government policy is also that we should not leave without a deal on 29th March (that was their motion). So May concludes that only option is revocation of A50. She can do that without parliamentary approval - according to their own legal advice!

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 16, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted March 16, 2019 Did anyone see Chris Green and Yasmin Qureshi on the breakfast sofa this morning? Adjacent constituencies, opposing views. Green was careful to pick his words, but in essence said he doesn't want this deal, was still hoping for no deal, but would probably end up voting for it due to circumstances. He was the first MP I've heard, echoing my thoughts- take the deal now, whilst we can and work to improve it over the coming years. Not the preferred route perhaps, but better than remaining.

So the Conservative Association in Stamford and Grantham are angry, aggressive extremists for objecting to this character failing to represent what local people voted for by 61/39 ? In making such sweeping and general comments you must know them all personally. Or perhaps you just think that anybody who doesn't see the world in the same way as this "sensible moderate" anti-democrat is therefore an extremist?

I think anyone grown up and adult who is worth listening to can understand differences of opinion without resorting to implicit and explicit threats of violence and even death to try and force someone out. Boles is voting for the withdrawal agreement. So he’s voting for Brexit. To be forcing him out via threats and intimidation for voting with his government...that’s extremist. And there can be no argument otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
