The Brexit Thread

[Kirkland Laing]

The only tyrant is Boris he better get a deal before 31st October.

Such a tyrant giving the people what they want

Not many people want a no deal Brexit. He may deliver a deal, you never know.

That is not true. Plenty of people want a no deal Brexit and Boris knows that.

That is a false picture and is how we have ended up.

That was not want people voted for if it was an option Leave would have lost.

It is the most popular of all the options. How can you say Leave would have lost? People voted to stay or go. It really was that simple. Everyone knew there would be potential risks and I think that is priced in already. Give the people what they want. The numbers wanting no deal is increasing month by month too. Labour is going to end up returning 25% in an election. Leaking votes to all other parties. They know it.

I can say Leave would have lost because it would have split the vote.

I voted leave but not a no deal Brexit, so I can talk from personal experience so can say Leave would have lost.

The only reason it is so high now is that a deal is now becoming less and less an option so the data you provided is a false picture.

If it is a reflection of current popular sentiment then it is hardly a false picture.

A false picture is Kirkland's bizarre notion that a good deal has been fleshed out. That is false.

A third of the public wanting no deal is real. As was 2/3rds of regions wanting OUT.

You've managed to get it wrong again. What I said was that the "deal" isn't a deal, it's a standstill agreement while we spend the next few years working out the terms and conditions of the actual deal. It keeps the customs union/single market in place while we negotiate our new terms of trade and commerce with the EU. The deal then goes to every EU member parliament and they all have the right to veto it which means a few years if we're very lucky and any resultant deal will be far worse for Britain than the deal we have now. Just leaving the EU doesn't mean we walk away from half our economy. We still have to negotiate how half our economy will be able to supply its goods and services to our biggest market (half our fucking economy). That isn't going away.
