Brexit RIP

[meridian]

"Mrs May said: “No Government could give a blank cheque to commit to an outcome without knowing what it is," she told MPs"

That will up set some of our digital agile snowflakes.

Well it would except they all want to stay in the Eu so they can get shafted by the ghost of Joseph Stalin.

Erm, that’s exactly what the referendum was. A blank cheque to voters to commit to an outcome without knowing what the actual destination is.

Don't confuse him with facts

Nurse! original PM needs his meds.

The destination* was outlined in the infamous leaflet, and in subsequent manifestos. What we weren't told about was the proposed route. But then Cameron never thought he would lose, did he? Why plan for something you're convinced could never happen?

*Leave the EU, Single Market, Customs Union and the jurisdiction of the ECJ. Don't tell me you didn't read the leaflet?

*Leave the EU, Single Market, Customs Union and the jurisdiction of the ECJ in a way which is compatible with the GFA. Don't tell me you didn't read the leaflet?

They missed a bit.

They missed a bit.

One could argue that they missed a hell of a lot. But as I said, Cameron didn't expect to lose.

You’re using a leaflet from the Remain-supporting Government, widely regarded as “Project Fear”, as your basis for voting?

Sounds like either revisionist nonsense, or your vote was just a protest vote and can be disregarded.

You’d get more respect (not that I suspect you’re looking for any) if you used a positive approach and defined your criteria for leaving using the Vote Leave proposals for what the destination would look like.

The Vote Leave campaign leaflet mentioned Switzerland explicitly as a country whose trade relationship with the EU is what the UK could also achieve.

May's deal is almost identical to the deal Switzerland has, but now the Brexiteers are defying the promises they made in their Leave campaign manifesto.

The Leave campaign leaflet does not mention trading on WTO terms, nor is there anywhere any mention of leaving without a trade agreement.

The problem those against Mays deal seem to have is with the backstop, not the deal itself. If the backstop wasn't there then is probably would have been passed by parliament by now.
