If parliament tries to repeal Article 50 the resulting demonstrations will make the current unrest in Hong Kong look like a barn dance Do you believe in Parliamentary Democracy? If so then you must also accept Parliament taking decisions you don't agree with, as we all must. Especially Boris Johnson.

What justification is there for a Remain option? Remain lost. It's done. Over. You don't get a second bite at the cherry. Varients of Leave then perhaps there is an argument to be made but Remain is simply not an option.
If Parliament decides that it wishes to consult the people again it can do so on whatever terms it decides.

Blair is a criminal and should be seen as such and tried for 'war crimes" As such his thoughts are irrelevant.. My preference would be to cancel the whole debacle and hold a 5 year moratorium during which we negotiate a revised relationship with the EU which probably means we would stop being full members but have some kind of associate membership. That though seems unlikely to happen for a variety of reasons so my solution would be to request an extension for 6 months, hold a GE later this year and let the new Parliament decide what to do next. If the Tories, Brexit Party and DUP gain a majority then we leave with no deal. If the opposition Parties who desire a second referendum gain a majority then we hold a referendum, much as I dislike them. If there is a hung Parliament then compromises will need to be sought.

Didnt we try for years to get a revised relationship and ended up banging our heads against the wall as the EU dont negotiate, they tell others what will happen?

Okay but the Electoral Commission has previously ruled out this type of multiple choice question as too confusing. As they approve the "question" my understanding is that it will have to binary. Now bearing in mind that people complained about the binary question asked in 2016 I think you can multiple those complaints for this type of question. What happens if someone votes Remain and No Deal. I get your frustration it's messy which is why we are where we are today. Edited by Badger11 (02 Sep 2019 3.44pm) There are only 10 types of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those that don't.
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

Why not have it on the ballot if you don't like the deal or no deal you can change your mind 3 choices make the argument for or against each. Why is remain not an option? They lost but if the deal on offer or no deal is not what you want regardless of how you voted why not give people the option. FPTP obviously cannot guarantee that, even if it were true. I think he’d go to leave with giving everything away. Stay in the customs union, open door policy, roll on the floor and have his tummy tickled after promising to leave with a sensitive voice and ear to a political union that wants to stuff us and tear our sphincters open. He’d probably agree to that in Brussels as well seeing as he’s weak and shows no loyalty to his nation, pretty much like all the hysteria going on by the whingeing minority Get on with it Boris and backhand these clowns for good so we can get on with what we want.
