It is. It’s Completely different scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you liked Mays deal (even though you admitted you hadn't fully read it), provided a tweak to the backstop was made - will you be satisfied if it gets voted though next time? - even though it hasn't changed from the deal that you wanted "tweaked" - I'd like to think, at this stage, you'll finally admit that it's not going "as planned" now, and it is a bit of a shit storm I heard Boris on the radio this morning, and he reckons that at the 11th hour, the EU will "blink" first and then give in. Fingers crossed that does happen - otherwise we could find ourselves either leaving and going WTO, or extending A50 - an extension to A50 would be farcical, and could end up with us ultimately not leaving, which would be utterly ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I think the cowards in parliament will take no deal off the table ( I do know this vote is only advisory... at the moment) guaranteeing a worse deal than it need be. There will be a deal as I’ve said all along. I do hope there is carnage at the next election for those MPs who refused to carry through their constituents wishes in parliament.

Parliament will definitely take "No Deal" off the table, which will fuck us right up, and play right into the EUs hands....sadly You'd like to think there will be carnage at the next GE, but the same people who have always voted Labour because their Dad did, will still vote Labour again (and the same for the other side as well) - and we'll keep going around in circles. The huge majority of them will still keep their jobs unfortunately I know Miami likes to harp on about the "visionaries" who voted to leave.....but I bet they didn't envision this dogs dinner when they entered the ballot box 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because their main objections to the deal is the lack of clarity in the political declaration and that was not changing and everyone knew that. As for the rest he’s a guy who stands by his own principles. And has fought his own front bench and compelled them to honour their conference pledges. Which is more leadership than anyone else is showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principles? “Tell you what, I believe in the principles of democracy and, whilst I think it may be the wrong thing for the country, it’s what the country decided, so I’ll go with it” that is principled.

Indeed. Comment recently accusing the government of ignoring the democratic wish of the house. I missed the reasoning behind it, and whilst it may be true, can't help raising a wry smile at the irony and indeed schadenfreuder. Fuck em.

bwfcfan5 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Tory party is now in a complete state. The government amendment to rule out no deal on 29th was amended unexpectedly as in spite of them whipping Spellman into withdrawing the motion, Cooper still pushed it. Everyone thought it would lose big. It won. Meaning the motion now ruled out no deal full stop, no Then this meant the government had to whip against their own amended motion (one they’d previously promised a free vote on). 4 cabinet minister abstained as did a lot of other junior ministers and it meant the motion passed. Normally abstaining on a 3 line whip is instant sacking. But that would mean May has to sack 4 of her cabinet including Amber Rudd her close ally. Mogg is demanding they are sacked. What a complete mess. Surely a GE might not be a bad idea. Labour cannot win and it might just shake enough up to get out of this mess?

bwfcfan5 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Government motion for tomorrow: delay A50 till end of June if deal is passed. If no deal passed seek longer delay but notes EU less likely to grant this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Something's got to give surely? Imagine where we could have been if we'd not spent the past couple of years fucking about with this? I've said before - I wanted the stay in. But if we were coming out then we might as well have come properly out. Seen as that's now not possible - I'd rather stay in. What a fucking horrible mess.

It needs to be passed into law before it supercedes the current statute so at the moment it is only advisory at this stage. I have a feeling May will bring her deal back to Parliament and try and get it through in the next few days. The ERG have had a terrible last 48 hrs and are in danger of losing everything... May just might get her way after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May just might get her way after all The government motion for tomorrow practically confirms May will bring her deal back by 20th March. Since it states ‘if deal agreed by 20th March then Government will seek extension of A50 till 30th June in order to pass exit legislation’. Given 20th is a week away only deal can be May’s deal. If deal isn’t agreed by 20th then plan is for government to seek ‘long extension’. This is the plan, bounce the ERG into voting for deal and exit at end of June. Otherwise threaten a long, long delay. I think it will probably work and she will get her deal through, but tonight has made it harder since whilst some ERG members say they will vote for her deal now in fear of no Brexit, others say they would rather vote it down and force her out because they are so annoyed about cabinet ministers defying the whip and seemingly getting away with it. Whole thing is a mess. I think she has a chance with her deal but will likely have to promise to resign afterwards to get ERG on side.

It will be tight for sure and the DUP will pay for their intransigence. The irony of this whole mess is that we will get a trade deal of sorts with the EU so the backstop will not be required. That deal is now more likely to be a soft Brexit and no one will get what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
