When you say Brexit voters don’t want no deal - which deals do you think they anticipated at the time? My suspicion is that no deal was the assumed position. As ever, all guess work. ‘This isn’t what the people voted for’. Well prove it then. Truth is there would have been 17.4m different rationales.

I believe the vote for Brexit could only have happened in a Britain that has forgotten what a European war was like, the fearfulness of the Cold War and the terror of Northern Ireland at the worst times. People get all brave again after a while. If Brexit happens I genuinely fear for the tenuous peace in Ireland. But then, when your sister gets showered with glass from an IRA bomb it kind of gets imprinted on the psyche. You’d have to be well over 80 to remember Europe at war. Maybe Brexit was voted for by people who are optimistic rather than driven by fear. I take your point about your sister - I was on the tube behind the one blown up at Aldgate in 2005 and see that ongoing threat to the country as more pressing.

Teddy is that all that strikes you from my post? Nothing else you would care to address? Regarding your question, the verbiage of article 50 states under procedure, section 2, and I quote: A Member State which decides to withdraw shall notify the European Council of its intention. In the light of the guidelines provided by the European Council, the Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3)[12] of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council [of the European Union], acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament. So I would say it was fairly clear that a withdrawal agreement would be negotiated, and it was not a widespread viewpoint that we would simply leave without a deal or any discussions or agreements with the EU on how to leave. If I recall one of the aforementioned pack of lies by the leave campaign was the whopper by Liam Fox that the deal would be the "easiest thing in human history". So I guess as this was one of the main lies of the era, about how easy the WA would be, then those people reading that understood there would be a deal, and we would not automatically leave with no deal.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

The question remains. When given a binary choice to leave or remain what conditions do you think leavers anticipated? Had the choice been between several options then fair enough. But it wasn’t.

As per usual every leave voter seems to assume their perception of what leave meant is the right one / same as everyone else’s / the only option that was on the ballot paper etc etc etc Whatever At this rate, none of the above
Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons. |

to impose another Referendum upon the British public is a warcrime. its like a rapist refusing to listen to the voice of the victim, and insisting that they may change their mind about the whole thing.
