Originally posted by meridian View PostHope so. That would open up an interesting constitutional question: if the Conservatives elect a leader that is explicitly “no deal”, and no deal has no majority in the House, then can the Conservatives claim to have enough support of the House to form a Government?Comment

Boris the moron changes his mind once again:
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, the former foreign secretary said: "No one sensible would aim exclusively for a no-deal outcome.
"No one responsible would take no-deal off the table."
...
The column came on the same day the Times reported that Boris Johnson had been accused of pocketing a five-figure sum for a speech in Switzerland in which he said the UK should prepare to leave under a no-deal scenario.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Originally posted by AtW View PostThere is already legislation in place for exit, Parliament voted for it in huge majority - it’s all set, all legal.
Worst case scenario, we exit without a deal because there’s no government able to be formed that can do anything about itComment

Originally posted by AtW View PostGovt already formed, they'll just change leader end of July, waste some time trying to "negotiate" with EU and before you know it will be 31st Oct with all legislation in place.
For that to happen, the new leader would have to be called upon by the queen to form a government. That will not happen unless she is advised that they can 'command a majority in the House'. But this will be a very open question.
The advice to the queen would come from two sources. The first would be the outgoing prime minister, who could probably be relied on to recommend her successor. The other would be her own private secretary, Edward Young, and the Cabinet secretary, Mark Sedwill. Their advice will be crucial. Above all they will not want the queen to be dragged in to deciding who forms a government between contending claims.Comment

Originally posted by Whorty View PostSeems the people have changed their mind. Leave is no longer larger than remain, at least based on the most recent EU election which was, quite frankly, as pseudo-referendum.
We need what we have been saying for months and months. Westminster agrees a deal (whatever that deal is, could even be 'no-deal') then this is put back to the people to say, do you want this deal or do you want to remain? If it's a moderate leave then it may win. If it's a hard deal, there is a fair chance remain will win.His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment
