OT: Brexit just gets a whole lot worse

[sidders]

The Scottish parliament has voted against Theresa May’s Brexit legislation by a large margin, putting the UK on the brink of a major constitutional dispute.

Holyrood rejected the UK government’s EU withdrawal bill by 93 votes to 30 on Tuesday after Labour, the Liberal Democrats and Scottish Greens backed Nicola Sturgeon’s decision to oppose proposals on post-Brexit power sharing set out in clause 11 of the bill.

The vote is not legally binding but it will force the prime minister to make a high-risk decision to impose those power-sharing plans on Scotland or make further concessions to the Scottish government to avoid a crisis.

Imposing powers on Scotland would be unprecedented and fuel Sturgeon’s demands for a second independence referendum, potentially providing the Scottish National party with a further justification for staging one.

Add to this, the opacity of the Irish border settlement, Moggy and his mutineers, and it's clear that a perfect storm is brewing which is totally out of May's control.

Nobody seems that worried, just Sturgeon making a fuss as she likes to but she never got anywhere before and won't now.

I can just imagine her taking Scotalnd out of the UK, that would mean out of the EU too, double whammy and one that the Scots wouldn't thank her for.

Brexit is an absolute shambles.

You would have thought the politicians that backed leave would have had some reasonable train of thought before they campaigned for Brexit as to what they actually wanted to achieve and how they would set about it as opposed to 23 June 2016 being the end-game. Pathetic.

The same will apply to Sturgeon if Scotland vote out of the UK, it's what happens when the heart rules the head.

Politicians in the UK who claim to have our interests at heart, need to all start rowing in the same direction for the sake of the UK. The division that exists is simply ammunition for the EU, have they made a single, solitary concession yet?

It doesn't help either that the Lords seem hell bent on preventing Brexit one way or another. What they don't seem to realise is that the more obstacles they put in the way, the more likely a 'no deal' scenario will be the outcome.

Is the right answer.
You missed off Ireland and Sinn Fein with reasons of their own to derail it.
The EU stoking their fire, smelling blood in the water.
Their very behavior has been spiteful back stabbing to say the least. Divide & conquer with the help of individuals with their own agenda.
I'd slap this on the table.
Un negotiable-
Sovereignty/Law/Immigration.
Anything else, we can talk about and come to mutual satisfaction.
Don't like it? Then -

The government is led by a Remainer who is an incompetent negotiator.

Let's go for a more sensible solution, just leave under WTO rules.
