There will have to be a 2nd referendum and the irony is that it will be the hard core brexiteers that brought it about by not supporting their own government.
As someone remarked, it is one thing to decide to go to the beach, but that doesn’t mean you can’t decide to do something else when you get there and it is tipping it down and the beach is covered in dog poo.
I wish when people post these threads they would post the twitter feeds or whatever they’re getting them from so we can judge ourselves rather than cryptically referring to “insiders” or what it “looks like” is happening.
There will be a new general election before no deal because the government will lose a vote of no confidence if it does not come up with an alternative without a shadow of doubt
As far back as the summer of 2016, I said they'd spend the next two years fiddling it to manipulate remaining.
If that's what you believe is happening, then isn't it a shame the brave Brexiteers didn't do more to stop it, for example, by coming up with a viable plan?
The problem with a 2nd ref is you then potentially upset 17.4m people. No government wants to do that. It's absurd when there are other options available.
The sensible way forward is A50 extension, series of indicative votes in Parliament, then proceed towards a plan commanding a reasonable majority. Labour and Tory moderates would surely agree on a Norway-style solution representing a soft Brexit over the nuclear option of calling the whole thing off.
At least that used to be how politics worked. These days it's hard to tell.
3 ducks , they haven't fiddled around so we would remain, the reverse is true. Granted there is a lot of fiddling about going on, but far from ensuring we remain it has resulted in us likely exiting with no deal. The EU have said no extension to Art 50 unless:
1) A general election is called
2) A peoples vote takes place.
Tories won't call an election obviously
And TMPM, and some of her colleagues are under no circumstances going to have a referendum, their mantra being one has already taken place, and thats the end of it. Besides I don't trust these Torie kvnts, they will probably hoodwink/lie to the EU and say ok we are having an election or peoples vote and then resile from that just to buy more time.
Assuming as unlikely as it is they agree to an extension is their a time limit?
this is only the second Brexit thread I have bitten on. Here goes. The last one was after the referendum when Ca moron had resigned and May took over and everyone queried how a remainer could lead Brexit. The debate descended into farce almost immediately and I decided to let others debate democracy while I concentrated on fart jokes and stupid examples of nominative determinism.
But on this issue now I would like to say something, though not necessarily from the angle you might expect. I have been in the working world for 29 years this year and that has encompassed quite a few economic dips and crises (1991 recession, Russia debt market, Asia financial market, dotcom, GFC etc) and EVERY time there's a load of people who say "we will get through this and growth is just round the corner". but it always takes a long time to struggle back up from a big negative event.
A hard brexit would be a very very significant neutering of the British economy at a time when the global economy is far from secure and Britain's economic indicators are very weak indeed. The country has NOT emerged properly from the events of 2008-9 and we are coming to terms with a profoundly adjusted economic context for Britain which quantitative easing masked for a long time. The debt has not been paid fully. It is being paid on the tick by parts of our economy fading and failing. We are having our belt tightened like a homeless person does - this is no diet, it is a new norm of less food. Just as the real bite is being felt on that, as it now is, to then dump out of the EU with nothing but the hopes and aspirations of entirely unrealistic aspirant Brexiteers would be catastrophic. I do not want to hear how that language is Project Fear. It is Project fooking Reality.
What will happen? We are downstream from the businesses that will be pared back. So we will be pared back. A lot of you will lose your jobs. The number of human beings in associate lawyer jobs ahead is going to rationalise anyway, but this will be another one of those oh fook moments. You, you and you in the M&A, tax, commercial, banking and capital markets teams. Yeah, you, and the one behind you with the big nose. You're on a list of people who will be consulted for redundancy and your department will be decimated. Fact.
The issue is not whether we should or should not have voted Out in 2016. That has gone by. The issue is when the fook are people going to drop some of their personal political dogma to rescue what would otherwise be a devastating bollock kick for Britain and compromise, achieving some sort of mitigation of the worst case. Now is not the time for polarised bumtrumpetry, but for pragmatism and rescue plans.
A whole generation has been royally screwed for the long term in the UK following the financial crisis and now we are going to hold their heads under water to make sure they yield. fooking disgrace.
It is not a question of calling an election - if the government allows the country to head to no deal it will lose a vote of confidence and an election will follow - at that point it will be forced to request an A50 extension.
Many remain Tories have said by voting for the deal they will have completed their obligations to the manifesto, to respect the result of the referendum and to the government. If the deal is rejected gloves will be off and the remain majority in parliament will really start flexing its muscles - booting out the government if necessary,
This whole "booting out the government" thing is silly talk because many of these people reflect on the wielding of such "power" and recognise that they will lose their seats when they are swept away in an election so that's something of an own goal.
Now is not the time for polarised bumtrumpetry, but for pragmatism and rescue plans.
This. Unfortunately the likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg and his ERG have placed ideology over everything else, ruining what should have been a sensible and pragmatic Tory debate on the best way forward in negotiations. The hard right portion of the Tory membership are responsible for the PM being put in an impossible position.
This whole "booting out the government" thing is silly talk because many of these people reflect on the wielding of such "power" and recognise that they will lose their seats when they are swept away in an election so that's something of an own goal.
Mutley normally I would agree, but here we are talking about averting what they perceive as a national disaster - I believe there are still enough principled MPs who would risk their seats to prevent this - in any event they will recognise that if no deal is as bad as they fear then the Tory party will be swept away at the next election and most of them with it.
"Going back and begging people to remain in the EU (no doubt with the same "neutral" literature as before, from the Govt) is not reasonable."
I agree with that precise wording but I don't think this is a case of going back and begging. This is a case of carefully measuring where public opinion stands now that the reality is dawning.
However, dux, that is me engaging in a debate I do not really have much interest in as I am not promoting the idea of abandonment of art 50 or another referendum with a view to a remain rethink. I was a remainer who is now of the view that the dye is cast and that all energy should now be put into a Brexit which is on terms better than a cocked up hard Brexit would deliver. That is in my view, the responsibility of Parliament now. The opposers clinging to a remain wish, on the one hand, and the opposers at the extreme brexit end of the spectrum, are playing party politics with the population's individual prospects. It is time to act responsibly.
As for Labour, the moderates are going to use this as yet another excuse to oust Corbyn. Labour's contribution to this "debate" won't be about the national interest at all.
The thing I don’t get about folks like dux is that it has been demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that leaving will make us poorer, that large numbers of people will lose their jobs as a direct result and a number of industries will be damaged (some irreparable) and yet they still want to push ahead with it.

You mean leaving without a deal. There are still other serious options to consider.
"I was a remainer who is now of the view that the dye is cast and that all energy should now be put into a Brexit which is on terms better than a cocked up hard Brexit would deliver"
Muttley, out of interest, would that hold true no matter what the opinion polls said - suppose they went to 80% remain for example? Would it still be wrong to hold a 2nd referendum?
just ratify the deal that has been agreed and all will be good, for both sides. fartage and co won't be in brussels anymore, business will continue uninterrupted and unaffected
struts - demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt - this is where it all gets fooked up. we immediately flip into pantomime "oh no he didn't/oh yes he did" fakenews whataboutary and whether the doubt is reasonable or not - whether that fact has been proven or not - is immediately debatable for ever and will never be adequately established before actually doing it. There is no point in trying to get one or other side to agree. Battle lines are drawn and both sides say the other's black is white.
fook that.
Move on.
Think of the future.
Care for our children's generation, the security of the nation* and do the right thing. Back an agreed deal.
*yes, economic and physical security. If the country goes down the shitter on bad terms it will become vulnerable and dependent. e.g. gas and oil security and thus geopolitically vulnerable, and it won't have the support of a union of nations to rely on.
Muttley, out of interest, would that hold true no matter what the opinion polls said - suppose they went to 80% remain for example? Would it still be wrong to hold a 2nd referendum?
making policy on the basis of polls is truly a moronic approach
Having a referendum at all was an entirely off-road act barely known to our constitution and ill-fitting, hence the cocked up nature of the question, the weak and incorrect political campaigns and the level of dissatisfaction with the outcome and the political process fall out. Square peg being jammed back and forth in round hole.
What went wrong here, and this is a real lawyer's angle, is that we decided to use an alien process (plebiscite) to determine something which then triggered a different process (EU law) the ratification of which requires domestic parliamentary process which cannot easily grapple with the former two and brings into play party political processes which weren't in play at the time of the referendum. Totally catastrophic approach to resolution. Like saying "let's litigate this, but in the following way: let's use rock paper scissors (one go only) but then when we have the answer take that and start an LCIA arbitration process, then when that is over we take the result and resolve the outcome by holding a Vogon poetry competition." Total lack of clarity of process such that opinion has swung back and forth and everyone's been free to pile in with any point whatsoever because nobody can say it is wrong to do so. There is no process map.
I think the answer to your question is therefore yes, oddly.
Mutters I respect your avoidance to date of Brexit threads. I get drawn in and its like the pig wrestling joke, you both get covered jn sh1t etc.
these threads are all opinion and speculation.
what facts do we have?
1) the EU member states have said before they would not agree to Art50 extension unless material change in circs. They have said a GE does not fulfil the criteria.
2) the EU member states are believed to be even less keen on negotiating with Corbyn than they are with May, according to Katya Adler (perhaps because he is an even bigger fantacist??). Or that was the case some months back. Maybe things have changed.
3) the only vote up for grabs is the Withdrawal Bill.
4) the vote is most likely going to go against the govnt although obv no one knows for sure and i dont think anyone in govnt or the House should be making irrevocable decisions until it is known.
I'm with Bikes in hoping that the EU predicted this and have got a small rabbit in a thimble sized hat that will be just enough to let MP's u-turn and get behind May's deal.
I can't see even the ERG supporting a motion of no confidence that runs the risk of a Corbyn government and I also suspect there are moderate Labour MP's who will also vote against it on the basis they want to get rid of Jezza.
Many more people, including some or all of those 17.4 million will be definitely upset if brexit happens (either no deal or May's deal).Why are we only told to consider people who voted to leave?
Because we had a referendum, rightly or wrongly, and the result should be respected. There are serious alternatives on the table that deliver may Brexit in a flavour acceptable to the majority of Parliament. A 2nd ref would be divisive and an insult to those who voted out, not least as they've spent the past few months being told they're imbeciles for having voted the 'wrong' way.

they have lost their sense of which way is up. The rage has addled them. Kamikaze fighters, the lot of them.
Because we had a referendum, rightly or wrongly, and the result should be respected
I don't actually agree that the result of the referendum should be respected if by doing so means that we are all fvked. Even more so given the closeness of the result and the basis on which the referendum was held and run.
Just because a child wants to stick its fingers in an electric socket doesn't mean it shouldn't be stopped from doing so (or, indeed, that all other children are forced to stick their fingers into electric sockets).
Revoke article 50 and remain. Get some clever Brits into the workings of the EU and chuck a spanner into this 'ever closer union' rubbish, most of the EU members don't want it anyway.
Did you see the reply from the Paras that they are called on to do crowd control when overseas, e.g. in Iraq, Sierra Leone, etc. Why wouldn't they train for it? Why immediately leap to Brexit?
The only sensible way forward I can see is a military coup, installing Mutters as Generalissimo until sensibleness is restored in the nation once again.
It’s time for our ELECTED politicians to grow up and accept that although they have enjoyed a career care of the cotton wool world of Westminster, where other people’s lives come second to the excitements of the green leather seats in the debating chamber of the Commons, the rest of Britain lives in the go to work and earn your money world.
