Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

I would think Corbyn is waiting for TM. RM and cohorts to completely sink your boat.
Might be the last tory neo-con government for 20years.

hence his indecision?
i think not
when he first acquired the leadership, i though him to be strong and principled
it has not taken long to find out that he is nothing but a limp lettuce across the board
his total disrespect shown on remembrance sunday was disgraceful, but that is another matter, though despicable for all that

I suggest you read your earlier postings about Corbyn, as your memory seems to be failing you.
Also, it often seems to me that packaging for you is more valuable than content.

Stan,
Their boat is sinking.
All the hoped for is lost.
And the Nanny has failed them.

No, Tanker was much more eloquent. Ever thought of Majorca Stan? Must be better than Burnley, particularly at this time of the year.
Apropos nada, what has CT done to ruffle your feathers C?

This is how the Prime Minister and the cabinet expect to get the government’s divisive Brexit plan through parliament:
There is a self-evident truth, that MPs will reject the deal when given their “meaningful vote” on it.
But then MPs would then stare into the “abyss”, recognising that a "No-Deal Brexit" would be a disaster and another Referendum too risky, and would then approve the deal – perhaps slightly modified – when brought back to them a second time.
The situation would undoubtedly then go into "TARP" model mode.
(TARP was the US scheme to bail out bust banks after the Crash in 2008. It was initially rejected by Congress, which caused the stock market to collapse. At that point Senators and members of the House of Representatives panicked and voted through a modified version of the scheme)
So what May is pretty sure about, is that if MPs were to reject her Brexit plan, the Stock Market and Sterling (most definitely) would tank. Such a thing as this would so scare Tory rebel MPs (May and the Cabinet are pretty sure about) that they would at that juncture be persuaded to recant and back May’s deal.
If a Brexit deal that a majority of MPs currently reject as being an affront to the UK’s right to democratic self-determination were then passed because of fear that otherwise the country would be punished by international investors, by big capital, this would be rich and fertile territory for extremists and populists to exploit.
The House of Commons would lose all credibility, as importantly, would the 'Government of the Day' for letting the situation happen.
This is all very dangerous and there might then be riots and even blood on the streets.
There again, it surely is a very unhealthy situation for the confidence in our democracy, when people realise after the event, that what many see as a degraded Brexit was adopted merely because our MPs panicked in the face of a market rout.

If that is the case E/L the public will never forgive the Government and will vote accordingly. Hence a new Government in due course.
