D Day for Brexit

[1959_60]

Today our Government will finally "agree" what form Brexit will take. About time too.

I reckon there will be resignations no matter what the decision is.

It seems to me that most people on here favour the Rees-Mogg version - just have a complete break and go it alone.

Finally Theresa May will have to make a decision.

And in the unlikely event there is agreement the EU will say no.

I don't favour one version or another, I just want the government and parliament to honour the pledge it gave before the referendum, to carry out the wishes of the people, and the expressed wish was to leave the EU. The establishment will make sure those wishes are ignored though, we'll end up half out and half in.

Taxis on standby for resigning ministers not a good sign.

[1959_60]

The cabinet have "agreed" (ahem) the deal.

It is certainly "Brexit Lite" but I simply can't imagine that the EU will accept it.

Nor will the hard Brexiteers.

And people like me are wondering how the hell will we be any better off than we are now?

In effect, trade can continue in a similar manner to what it does now but we will have to follow EU regulations. And we will have no say in these rules. We will become a rule taker, not a rule maker.

Given the above, I doubt that there will be much support for it from most of the country. Still, it could have been worse.

[oldcolner]

At least there’s something that can be used for discussions, but like you I’m not sure where it takes us.
- possibly to EU rejection of any deal.
If we are a rule taker then that may only apply in trade with the EU. I suspect the EU will soon adopt rules that undermine our services and trade.
With Trump ramping up Trade Wars who knows what the future holds.

May's apparent incompetence simply masked her ulterior motive, to keep us in the EU. She was a Remainer, as was the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Leopards never change their spots.

The public have been stitched up from start to finish, Democracy my Arse.

We actually vote for and allow these people to decide our fate? Are we totally fcuking bonkers..?

I am sure that the deal will be watered down even more by the EU.

So, would you now support a peoples vote once the final details are known - probably in October?

I would suggest three options...

1/. Accept the deal
2/. Reject the deal and cut ties with the EU
3/. Remain in the EU as it is now

Without a peoples vote there will be millions of people (probably the majority of the population) who will feel that this is a bad deal for Britain.

Surely the only way to keep the public on board is to give them the final say?

It's call democracy.

[The Bedlington Terrier]

It's our democratic process that put these clowns in...
