I concur.
“We must remain a broad church.”
The same advice Minion & McTurd were giving to Republicans to lose elections six years ago.
1. the deal was the withdrawal agreement - meant to cover before the final deal.
2. it was not offered by any one side, but was the result of negotiations - here's hte picture where David Davis, a leading light on the leave side sat down for negotiations with the other 27 countries
3. The EU hasn't refused to negotiate further - it said "The UK was negotiating until November and then the agreed withdrawal deal was passed through 27 parliaments (because the eu side checked the boundaries before sitting down for negotiations) but rejected by the UK parliament (because the Uk negotiators didn't check with their parliament first, like the eu side did)
a hard brexit is unavoidable unless a deal goes through parliament - but the UK parliament doesn't have a majority for any kind of deal, so yes a hard brexit is inevitable due to the UK's confusion
Is the sky green too?
LOL, describes May to a T.
“Heres hoping that England-Wales leave with a no-deal Oct 31.”
and Scotland and Northern Ireland remain within the EU?
Sturgeon is planning just that
Spot On. We have to offer them a way back, as we must remain a broad church suspiciously like the "Reach across the aisle" nonsense we've heard before.
She can plot all she want. The UK in its entirity will be leaving. She can make the case for independence on the UK on the shaky assumption that the EU will want a new member with more than twice the permitted debt to gdp ratio (when they’re already in a debt crisis) and which would be laughed out of the room if they tried to keep the concessions the UK did. She will also have to make it on the basis of divorcing scotland from the UK internal market, with which it does over 60% of its trade, to the EU single market, with which it does less than 20%. It makes more sense for Ireland to unify, but the Ulster Unionists will kick off big style if anyone tries to force them out of the UK, and Ireland doesn’t have the economic weft to subsidise the Northern Irish the way the UK does in order to mollify them all and stop them murdering each other.
