This is what happens when you have a committee management made up of self-serving cronies that put their party or its backers before the good of the nation and the people that voted them into office.
So the only sensible solution is to repeal Article 50 so the UK remains on the exact same terms as currently, to avoid EU troughers wanting negotiated renewal of membership at UK cost, then wait for the EU to disintegrate over its own problems (PIIGS and global downturn meaning Germany and France can't support the rest), while using its veto to stop any silly empire building such as an EU army or move to a federalised Unites States of Europe.
Any other realistic option for the UK to come out on top of this mess intact?Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Originally posted by Hobosapien View PostIt really is like a circus. Rebels on all sides, no clear majority backed plan of how to leave, how to stay, whether to hold a people's second referendum, whether to hold a General Election where parties will be split along the leave/remain options so even if one party gains a majority there will still be no clear consensus on the way forward.
