We may have a referendum vote on soft vs hard brexit, but unless there is a reformed offer to put back to the UK people to remain in a reformed position, then I don't see the justification for a second referendum. Nothing has changed which would warrant it.Comment

Originally posted by PurpleGorilla View PostI would suggest that the reason 52% voted against the status quo is precisely because they consider the potential upside better than the current down side.
In particular, most who voted leave wanted to give DC a kicking.
We have gone Blair, Brown, Cameron, May. At this rate it will be sassy next....Comment

They must also be relieved that our funds can't be used to support the building of a factory to make Ford Transits in Turkey instead of Southampton. Ford took a grant from the EU to do that. Just to make this clear.
The UK paid money into a fund to remove a manufacturing plant out of the UK.
Things like this make people like me vote leave.Comment

A related claim by Pro-Brexit Euro-MP Daniel Hannan that “the EU gave Ford a grant to relocate from Southampton to Turkey” is tendentious. In 2012 Ford did receive a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB), an EU institution, of around £150 million for a factory in Turkey. The loan was not to relocate, as Hannan says, though it occurred around the same time as Ford chose to close its factory in Southampton.
...
Notably, the bank lent Ford £450 million in 2010 to develop a new generation of greener vehicles in the UK.“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.”Comment

Parliamentary arithmetic doesn't add up for a Hard Brexit. The Tory MPs Anna Soubry, Nicky Morgan, Kenneth Clark and the Scottish Conservatives will vote it down. Kenneth Clark even voted against article 50. Anna Soubry has repeatedly said that she is waiting for an important vote to sabotage it. The GE was the chance for a Hard Brexit and they blew it. The name of the game is delaying tactics, where the House of Lords will play its role as well , i.e. push the UK into a transitional deal and kick the can into the long grass until "Brexit" has blown itself out.
