O/T DDay for Brexit..well sort of...

[animallittle3]

I get the point about future governments and what they might do. But I (and presumably the country) are not really thinking about future governments. We're thinking about your government and what the possibilities are in the future trade negotiations.

So, narrowing it down somewhat - in plain English - if May succeeds next week (made more likely by the Grieve amendment if the hard Brexiters swallow the 'No Brexit' government line of the week, but that's another issue!) and proceeds into the future trade negotiations, then if the EU play hardball on an issue of concern to them - along the lines Macron suggests, although if we start trying to negotiate towards comprehensive tariff free trade, they may hardball over other issues too, can the Hard Brexiters on this board, and in this country, rest assured that May will not back down and bargain off your crown jewels of FoM, ECJ etc despite your assurances that May has bagged these for us?

These are not antagonistic questions - if I'm confused that you seem to be saying one thing and three questers of our MPs are saying something else, then I'm sure others on here are as thick as I am...

Two things seem pretty clear to me , the EU won't renegotiate on the deal and May won't get it through parliament .

What happens next is anyone's guess , the divisions in the Labour Party are far more widespread than the media have picked up on .

Starmer is driving towards another referendum , Corbyn is onboard but hardly enthusiastic , McCluskey's met with a good number of Labour MP's tonight and warned them of the consequences of another referendum and that it will be viewed as betrayal in the labour brexit heartlands , like him or loathe him but he carries some clout .

Whatever options are on the table following May's defeat next week they are all going to struggle to attain enough votes to see those options put in to practice it would appear .

Nothing at this stage or the weeks ahead as we head towards March 29 looks capable of breaking the deadlock .

If something had jumped off the page and attracted value from the EU and parliament collectively than you'd think we'd have heard of it by now and two years down the line .

Where this ship sails after next week is anyone's guess mate , totally unprecedented situation .
