Brexit vote

[firstfloor]

One commentator described May's proposal as a turd rolled in glitter.

That was probably the best deal they were going to get. It seems impossible to leave the EU without a hard border either in Ireland or in the Irish Sea. There is a small chance now that Brexit will be abandoned. Although the politicians argue that the referendum result must be delivered, it is also true that the public were not adequately briefed about the issues at stake when they voted.

It was a smaller defeat than the last time- the worst defeat in UK history. This one now counts as third, the second being some time in the 1020s I think. 2/3 for record breaking defeats in parliament isn't bad I suppose...

So, whatcha think's gonna happen? And whatcha think NEEDS to happen?

This is what happens when politicians lie to get a desired result. Farage lied, Johnson lied, Gove etc. They all carry the blame for the situation in which Britain currently finds itself.

Brexit failed again...

Prime Minister Theresa May's EU withdrawal deal has been rejected by MPs for a second time, throwing her Brexit strategy into further confusion.

MPs voted down her deal by 391 to 242 - a smaller defeat than when they rejected it in January.

The PM said MPs will now get a vote on whether the UK should leave without a deal on 29 March and, if that fails, on whether Brexit should be delayed.

She said the EU would need to know what use any extension would be put to.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said the prime minister should now call a general election. She had earlier warned MPs that if they did not back her "improved deal" they risked "no Brexit at all".

Interesting. It's been reported over here that they were forming a new party, with a platform and everything.

I think you should call them up and offer to get this thing back on track.

I probably should do exactly that, but I am somewhat distracted by the worry that if break dancing became an Olympic sport it would loose a degree of authenticity.

Any comments from across the pond on the Brexit-spawned new party?

If the UK goes belly up, can I come and live with you?
