    Sajid Javid could be a possibility .

    Can't help but think it's a bit like considering do you prefer having mumps or measles
    & that applies almost across the board
    Perhaps Cameron should be frog marched into the job to finish what he started

    When Michael Gove is a 5/2 favourite exile you know the talent bucket is pretty much empty .

    Never in my life have I seen such a collection of numb nuts across both sides of parliament .

    It's actually frightening to think many of these people have any control over our lives .

    I suspect the electorate have all but given up on politics in this country .

    It's going to take something spectacular for the country to trust these people ever again , massive change is needed for the damage to be repaired .

    I agree entirely.

    We’ve always suspected that they are a collection of buffoons, brexit has just highlighted how bad they are, in both government and opposition.

    For too long we’ve only had a “choice” of electing the least objectionable candidates rather than electing the cream of the crop.

    Well well well , the EU will still demand the £39bn should we crash out without a deal in order for further business to be discussed going forward .

    Whilst I acknowledge we will have to pay some kind of exit fee the full £39bn is surely fantasy on the part of the EU .

    Go and b@llax .

    Don't think the "chattering classes",still hell bent on cancelling Brexit, have any idea of the depth of feeling in the backward North of England and how many people are now favouring a no-deal scenario. The results of any Peoples Vote would be a huge shock for them.

    I’m struggling to think of one to be honest.

    Politics appears to attract people that are useless at other things, so a fall back situation as a career.

    My local MP is Labour MP (as you would expect from the area) however:-

    1. He’s hardly here because he’s got a shadow cabinet job that takes up his time and has to be London based.

    2. He’s actively voted to thwart Brexit even though there was a very high leave vote in the area.

    And sadly

    3. There’s a lot of people around here that can’t remember his name

    Frustrating that there isn't a workable deal solution and that nothing seems to do it. Maybe you're right, specify the terms to 'No Deal v 'Remain' and let the people vote on those two. If you're right, and you may well be, that'd at least be a clear, clean vote and no one could argue that they didn't know what was being voted on.

    Can someone explain what is meant by the "withdrawal agreement"? Is it when both parties come to a mutually satisfactory conclusion or could it result from a member partially soft brexiting and the other concluding that he may as well pull out?

    Highly unlikely to have another referendum but if there was, it should be May's deal or WTO deal,we have already decided to leave in the first one,so remain should not be an option a second time.Any other option on offer, would mean the outcome of the first result was ignored.That would be catastrophic and would lose all credibility in future elections.Parliament do as you have been instructed to do, with no further delay.
