Article 127

[Stevie Wonder Boy]

Seems like a reasonable compromise to me. Two-year BAU transition followed by a clean break.

I agree, it seems to be the right way to go.

[WTFH]

What is the next number in this sequence?

50, 127, ?????

1250, 3127 (obviously)

No, if it was then 2100 would be in there.

And I thought I was 666.

Compromise or complete U-turn?

June 2016 - claim we’ll be out in 2 years.
It takes 9 months in invoke article 50
Brexit means Brexit, Red, White and Blue Brexit, Hard Brexit, etc
Up until a few hours ago, we were being told that we were leaving the EU in March 2019.
We are now being told that there will be a further 2 year delay until we leave.

In other words, we’ll be in the process of thinking about making decisions about planning to consider the possibility of the way forward just in time for the next GE.

[WTFH]

I’m sure there was a thread on here a few months ago saying we wouldn’t be out until 2021, even though the PM was saying we definitely would...

Ah yes, here: http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...il-2021-a.html

How was this not clear?

As per note post above, the Leave campaign stated:

Europe yes, EU no. We have a new UK-EU Treaty based on free trade and friendly cooperation. There is a European free trade zone from Iceland to the Russian border and we will be part of it. We will take back the power to negotiate our own trade deals.

But regardless of who said what, the point is there is no referendum mandate for leaving the EEA, single market or customs union, so it either needs a further referendum (the honest way of doing it but politically unlikely) or it needs a parliamentary vote as with Article 50, because parliament is sovereign and must be the actor here when rights are being removed from citizens. And when it comes to parliament, there is no valid argument that a vote in parliament against leaving the EEA is frustrating the democratic will expressed in the referendum.

I voted to pull up the drawbridge*. Why's that not happening?

It was clearly said in the letter that Cameron who was the Prime Minister of the UK at the time sent to every voter at great expense. I voted Leave, I was and am quite clear that leaving the single market and ending free movement in its present form were part of the deal. I do wonder what country you were in? Using weasel words like the Leave campaign said this or that about the single market is pretty irrelevant and dare I say utterly childish.

You have got yourself into a tizzy, haven't you?

Do you mean this text from the leaflet?

Some argue that we could strike a good deal quickly with the EU
because they want to keep access to our market.
But the Government’s judgement is that it would be much harder than
that – less than 8% of EU exports come to the UK while 44% of UK
exports go to the EU.


No other country has managed to secure significant
access to the Single Market, without having to:
• follow EU rules over which they have no real say
• pay into the EU
• accept EU citizens living and working in their country

A more limited trade deal with the EU would give the UK less
access to the Single Market than we have now – including for
services, which make up almost 80% of the UK economy.
For example, Canada’s deal with the EU will give limited access
for services, it has so far been seven years in the making and
is still not in force.

If so, can you explain why this is clear that the UK will leave the single market after a Leave note. If you mean other text, perhaps you would be kind enough to post it.
