Originally posted by NotAllThere View PostJust hypothetically ('cos I don't think it would happen), but if enough rebel Tories colluded with the opposition to force a General Election, before Article 50 was invoked, wouldn't that delay it's invocation somewhat? And if in that G.E. the winning party had lobbied on the basis of staying in the EU and ignoring the referendum... well, that would be interesting times indeed.
I suspect the leave party would win.Comment

Or was it to be implemented providing we voted the 'right' way?Comment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostYes, that is a valid scenario. Incredibly improbable, but undeniably possible. The political landscape would need to change fundamentally before it became a material probability.
The referendum was a populist event by the as.shole Cameron.
No they all know one government must be sacrificed (hence BoJo is in this one).The next one will just put in their agenda one thing - disregard the referendum result. And they will win.Comment

Do you really think Labour would do anything to force a GE right now? They're 17 points behind in the polls. Many of them are in constituencies that voted to leave. They'd almost be as irrelevant as the Lib Dems under an overwhelming Conservative majority.
I think the country largely "gets it". We voted to leave, now whether that's what you voted for or not, we need to get on with the process of leaving.Comment

Originally posted by kolata View PostNo, I think this is the only option. No politician wants the UK to leave the EU.

The great repeal act will easily get through, the problem will come when the government needs to get legislation through for its "Hard Brexit", because until then EU law remains British law. That could easily be thwarted, and then the UK will end up "half stuck" in the EU.
I'm alright JackComment
