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....

(By the way an Emu is : a large Australian long-legged bird that cannot fly)…..that appeared quite a lot on Des tonight …..

Doc sans Proc,

My £5 says we are.
My £10 says we are NOT going to have another Referendum on it, either.

Stick a few noughts on and I'll take the other side. Avec plaisir!!

:o)

Or looking at it another way Fred ...the Government are in the tihs.

Ummh.

No deal it is then

They love hushing things up in this country....

Can I withdraw my offer to take the other side of your bet, Doc? I've just looked at the news, and it looks like Parliament no longer need another referendum to exit the Brexit process.

How many days now till you decide to stay, Dilbert?

:o)

I always said at the very start that Cameron was wrong to agree to a referendum....right... now having said that he could have just let the Tory party split in two....but he has given us (credit to him)…..the right to choose the EU or not.....well this is the result....but the exit negotiations look like a shambles....

Oh, and now Nige has quit. Turns out he's had a better job offer from Peckham Used Cars.

Must be a Milwall fan then....

Bummer, Hils!

Since we cannot duck out of leaving the EU on the 29th March 2019 without a change in the law, I was going to up my £5 into a rather ambitious, say £50,000.

And the £10 similarly, into say £100,000. No way is this government going to allow another Referendum on leaving the EU.

So our bet is off then. Ah well.

:-(

And all bets are off, if we get a 'Prime Minister Corbyn', too.

;-)

114 days to go Hils.

Can't wait to see the legal advice on the back stop. Bit of luck she'll quit when it shows the Attorney General advised her that it's a one way ticket to nowhere.

A lot shorter then 114 days to go to the 1st "Informed Referendum" now ... you know it makes sense Dil -):

And also:

Apparently, we can cancel Brexit. That’s what the advocate general to the court of justice of the EU, Europe’s highest court, advised this morning.

The advocate general, Manuel Campos Sánchez-Bordona, said that the UK can cancel its article 50 notice unilaterally. This means that if our own parliament decides that our interests are best served by remaining, the EU cannot stand in our way.

His decision is not certain to be followed by the full court – which has yet to announce when it will give its judgment – but courts follow their advocate general in the overwhelming majority of cases. And if it does here, we are much more likely to stay in the EU.

You forgot to mention, Doc, that following one of last night's votes, if Maggie Dismay loses next week's vote as is widely expected, Parliament now decides the next course of action rather than the Government.

That effectively means that the Gammons' No Deal is no longer an option. Quelle dommage!!

Andrea Leadsom says it is her firm political opinion that, since the backstop is so detrimental to the interests of the EU, that it would not be allowed by the EU to kick in anyway.

She says, the whole problem now is that there is no particular clear majority for any deal. This is because the whole problem of leaving the EU is so complicated.

Thus, on March 29th, it's either:

1. The PM's deal or
2. No deal

because there are no other deal son the table.

Posts cross....

Ha ha ha.

:-)

Dominic Raab says we should merely put (cobble) our best deal together, go to the EU and tell them, "Take it or Leave it'.

I thinks that's the best answer now. Parliament does a series of votes, etc, etc.

Somebody should tell Dominic Raab that major political battles are always fought and won on the middle ground, and that extremist views of one persuasion or another have no place in modern society.
