Reasons why the UK hasn't left the EU yet
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
So they voted against what they thought was a crap deal.
What's your point?Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last. -

They seem to be supporting the 'new' deal, even though it sounds like it is technically May's deal but with the border moved to the Irish Sea. Are you happy that they are selling the NI population down the river?
Oops, sorry, of course you are - you hate anyone 'foreign' and you consider the Irish, even those who are part of the UK, as foreignersI am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

It's not really a deal they voted against, it's the withdrawal agreement. The deal is next to be negotiated which typically takes 10 -15 yearsСлава Україні! Героям слава!Comment

The DUP (not elected by many in the UK) want to have a veto to overrule any democratic decisions.
They want to have the same rules as the rest of the UK, unless it doesn’t suit them (such as abortion, same sex marriage, air passenger duty, defamation)
But hey, it’s the will of the people that the UK must bow to every demand of this minor party, because their ongoing “No” brings so much to the table, adds so much value and offers so many compromises.
Do you want to leave with no deal?
DUP : No
Do you want to leave with an agreed deal?
DUP : No
Do you want to propose an alternative deal?
DUP : No
Would £x million change your mind
DUP: No, we have principles and can’t be bought
Would £x billion change your mind
DUP: Give it to us then we will talk, but our answers will mostly be “No”…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Reality is, you probably need a thumping (Blair like) majority in the Commons to get something as monumental as Brexit through.
Even if May had had Cameron's majority, it would still have been a stretch with the divisions in the Tory party.
It's debatable whether or not another GE will break the impasse.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

Originally posted by Old Greg View PostThe Tories haven't won a decent majority since '87. It's hard to see how they can do so now, and they have no real potential small party allies except the DUP.
If the BP do stand, then it will split the Brexit vote. Johnson may try to make the GE about everything other than Brexit but I expect many who vote this time will treat the GE as a referendum on Brexit.
However, maybe Cummings has a cunning plan to win the day.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment
