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....

Members of the present tory elite are behaving like secondhand car dealers of old.
Of which you will know a lot about. Do you spend all of your half-living day on this site? Curious existence. Let's hope for your sake that your brother is right and you find something more useful to do.

Voting at the next election would be a start.

as far as i can determine, and it's far from easy, both major parties have near enough equal support
how much that will change, if at all, after last night's vote, is impossible to say
however, at this point in a parliament, the opposition should be romping ahead which clearly labour are not

Manuel,
If you are right, now is the time for the tories to eject T. May, formulate its Brexit position and position on a New Referendum, then explain it to itself and the country and then put its "policies" in its manifesto and call a G/E.
The result may cause dissatisfaction but at least it would be reasonably honest and respect the electorate, rather than continue governing as an oligarchy.
Whichever, party forms the next government should postpone Article 50 for 3-6months and then negotiate or revoke Brexit.
Continuing to govern as now is folly.

It,
Thank you for your opinion.

PS.
I see Nicola Sturgeon is in the HP.
Is she standing for election as PM of the Littler England?

postpone Article 50 for 3-6months and then negotiate or revoke Brexit.
i suspect either of those has a reasonable likelihood, but over what timescale is anyone's guess
that said, despite all the huffing and puffing from all sorts of quarters - including the labour party of course - i doubt that the deal currently struck has much wriggle-room, or at least none to which eu would agree

I can't see the loopholes.
Personally, and for my grandchildren's sake would prefer to remain in the EU and negotiate with mutual respect on both sides when drawing up rules, regulations, contracts and laws.
(SENSIBLE NEGOTIATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL.)
For all its faults more countries wish to join the EU rather than leave.
I thought sanity was defined by the majority rather than a small minority.

From Fred's post
''I thought sanity was defined by the majority rather than a small minority.''
Unless it doesn't suit eh! Hypocrite

Of course they do when the big countries are willing to write blank cheques for them. Yes sanity was defined be the majority in the referendum but did you accept that ? Selective use of metaphors as usual.

Why are you so frightened to have an informed referendum?
If you are right the result should endorse your position.
Democracy gives the right to the electorate to change its mind.
T Maybe had an election after a year as PM. to "confirm her position" No real difference between that and an Informed Referendum.

Dil,
Yesterday's photos please!
:o)
But seriously, there is no such a thing as a 'managed no deal' and preparations for a no deal extend far beyond parking up a few lorries on a disused airfield and inviting the press along, however, once the first extension of Article 50 is obtained, a second one and/or subsequent revocation will be easy. It's just that nobody (least of all, either May or Corbyn) wants to be seen as the person who halted Brexit without having somebody else to blame - it's career suicide. These things are so much easier with cross-party support.

TM doing very well today and putting up a good fight that suggests that she is willing to run the clock down and give the people what they wanted. i.e. a Clean Break from the EU rather than give in to those that want the EU to rule over the British.

I am not, I just want it on the same terms as you ie If I donโt like the outcome I can ignore the result and demand another one.

Fred , why the hell should any of us care what you want for your grand children's future when you yourself care so little you couldn't be arsed to vote ???
Hils , even the French came out a couple of days ago and said the trucks will keep on rolling whatever the outcome of Brexit.
