[Merged]Brexit stuff (part 2)

[darmstadt]

The next general election will be fought on Brexit. The only chance that labour have of winning is a pact with the Lib-Dems to have a second referendum on an in/out basis

Everyone took the piss out of the referendum and said the vote would be remain, everyone took the piss out of Trump and now he's going to be President, everyone takes the piss out of Corbyn which means

hmmmm i think a lot more people are taking the piss out of Corbyn than ever took the piss out of the other two.

So despite your hopes and dreams it ain't gonna happen....

I'd be happy to have another EU referendum - leave would win with a bigger margin.

Yeah - and Cameron was happy to have the first one as the remainers would win. Best leave things as they are.

It would settle the matter - as would a GE with an in out mandate

There will be a "Soft Brexit" with the UK half hanging out the EU but with a promise of a "Hard Brexit" later on, and so the "Soft Brexiteers" will be happy that there is a "Soft Brexit" and the "Hard Brexiteers" will be happy because they will think that "Hard Brexit" will happen sometime in the future, and the UK will live happily ever after.

...on the other hand it could be that the electorate gets p**ed off and votes out the government and so a future Lib/Lab coalition makes the "Soft Brexit" permanent.

I think this is where we're heading, probably in about two elections time.

My bet is there will be NO Brexit. The Supreme court are going to come back with a whopper of a judgement that will stop Brexit dead. It may be a 'Tartan veto' saying the scots parliment must approve article 50 being invoked or it may be a judgement that says all EU law must be replaced with UK law before article 50 can be invoked. Either way, however they do it, I expect the learned judges to block Brexit and that will trigger a right ol constitutional mess!

Theresa May "carefully considering" Nicola's Sturgeon's plan to remain in the Single Market.

Single Market means that EU law is Supreme, plus free movement of people.

So, Single Market means no Brexit.
