    More rehash of the same old entrenched positions

    Had we done a deal and left a year or so ago this would not be a thing.

    So this is more a result of absolute ****wittery by politicians desperate to not let the gravy train leave without them.

    The time has passed to stop blaming Brexit we now need to clearly focus our ire at those who are still stopping us leaving.

    As we have always said the markets do not like uncertainty and that's all these pointless fooking remainers are interested in perpetuating and then trying to peddle that it's all because of Brexit.

    You still pushing this lie? Really? Come on fella, even you must have realised by now that this is tosh. Our MPs don't generally move on to become MEPs. MEPs come to parliament, but not often the other way. So how, exactly, are Westminster MPs trying to get on the EU gravy train.

    Come on fella, have a think about it and give us a straight answer rather than quoting other fookwits on the internet.

      Ok so let's assume it's not because they are doing it purely out if self interest.

      Let's also agree that markets dislike uncertainty and therefore dragging out Brexit benefits absolutely no one.

      Obviously we have to assume at this point they believed in democracy and therefore the vote to leave cannot be challenged and therefore they are not trying to overturn the decision to leave.

      So maybe you can explain their motives for dragging Brexit out.

      Or maybe one of the other assumptions us wrong.

      What do you think?

        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.

          Almost like you are using shock tactics to detract from the question to avoid answering it.

            Probably because you don't live in a dictatorship yet, however much you wish you did, therefore allowing people to attempt to reverse a decision they feel is wrong. Do you feel it is correct that both May and Johnson can call an election when people didn't like their decisions?

              If they weren't going to accept the result of the referendum then why did they bother voting in the first place?

                I didn't say MPs aren't out for their own self interest, I said they are not in it to get on the EU gravy train which is what you was implying. i don't think any sane person would disagree with you that the likes of Johnson are only in this game for their own self interest.

                I agree, uncertainty is not good and the markets don't like it. The markets and most businesses don't like Brexit either, but you seem to want to ignore that fact.

                1/3 of the country voted out. 1/3 voted remain. 1/3 did not vote. Following the 2016 referendum we had a GE in 2017. Westminster is made up of the MPs voted in via that democratic vote. Those MPs are now acting democratically as per the most recent UK wide vote. If you don't like democracy, go live in a dictatorship fella.

                They are putting their country before the mantra from right wing zealots. They don't want us to be crashing out of the EU with no deal and would prefer to follow a controlled leave via a deal. Maybe they would prefer to leave under the circumstances that Farage and the others campaigned via the 2016 referendum (e.g. Norway +)

                If it's one of your assumptions the it's highly likely fella.

                I think you are, as usual, way off the mark and reading too much right wing, red top press.

                  So what is the point in voting at all? As I said, it seems like leavers want a dictatorship...

                    Yes, because that's exactly Farage and other Brexit supporters' attitudes was during the campaigning.
                    ‘In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way. If the remain campaign win two-thirds to one-third that ends it.’
                    Hypocrisy, anyone?
