Should the UK remain a member of the EU

Thank fuck we got a strong and stable government last year to see us through these difficult times.

 

And an opposition still trying to sell a Lexit unicorn instead of helping us put an end to it all.

 

I might just bash my head against the wall for the next three months.

[Spy Bee]

They are now claiming that the PM has no authority to pull the vote.

 

This is fucking amazing!

So what happens now? If she resigns does that trigger general election? And, presumably, a no deal Brexit, since the EU said negotiations are over? Who wants to be a PM during the no deal fallout years?

“Not possible to reopen withdrawal agreement” says Taoiseach. Backstop “agreed by all 28 governments”. #Brexit

I reckon she was gambling a bit on managing to keep the options limited to "my deal or no deal" and, knowing the overwhelming majority of ministers across the benches want to avoid no deal, hoped that would see her through - shored up by the usual Tory ability to close ranks whenever there's a whiff of power-loss.

 

The Grieve amendment and this morning's ruling from the ECJ have completely fucked her though; her deal is no longer the lesser of two evils but the worst possible compromise. And because she's a rank coward, she's decided to postpone and spend her Chrimbo working on spin and back-office deals.

 

Brexit really is a complete and utter cunt farce.

The ruling from the ECJ would have been expected weeks ago by everyone.

The amendment I believe is what she fears and having her hands tied ruling out a no deal Brexit. She knew she would lose the main vote so its the most likely reason.

 

She will say she has taken on board the concerns of MP's across the board then scuttle off to Brussels to re-negotiate the un re-negotiable deal and buy a few days , hopefully avoiding a NC vote in the process.

 

She is a fucking nightmare and always finds a way of kicking the can down the road.

Brexit is dead and time it was given the last rights.

No, it triggers a leadership contest in the Tory party. 2/3 of the house need to vote no confidence to get a general election.

 

Extremely unlikely to happen in my view.

[Anubis]

No help from some of her own party either....

The PM does not get to pull a vote. The House will have to vote to pull a vote. I will oppose. We need to see this deal off once and for all.

Correct.  Frankly its the last thing anyone needs , unless you want a hard Brexiteer coming to power barely weeks before we crash out of Europe. It would  I believe precipitate a cross party vote to delay Brexit but in these times who knows what further madness could be unleashed

[Spy Bee]

Strong and stable!

[clangers]

She's living up to her reputation of avoiding decisions at all cost. She's done I think, the best she can do here is head back to the EU to beg before inevitably losing the vote and being show the door kicking and screaming.

 

She'll undoubtedly use the nasty little trick as described to pull the vote but as one MP said this morning that's not going to win her any friends here.

 

This is a complete failure of her policy and reason for being.

[Denny Crane]

The person who suggested there is no situation May can't make worse is proved spot on time and time again.

 

First leader in living memory to get her government done for contempt previously as Home Secretary was only the second Home Secretary to be in contempt of court. Hopefully she can do the treble and eventually lose a no confidence vote. 

 

 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

We voted, MPs want a vote, the PM doesn't, so MPs will vote to vote, and she'll try to avoid a vote on the vote, and this'll all end in a vote of no confidence.

 

Ever read a word so much in repetition that it starts to look strange? Vote.

If I were EU I'd change my phone number, block UK on social media and just wait for the end of March.  

[Trumo]

Take it away from the PM you tarts!

[Spy Bee]

I can't imagine any of these will go down particularly well!

[Anubis]

Some top Brexiter posts in this thread. They really are a rabid little bunch.

 

 

[skend04]

So when do the UN send in peace keeping forces? We've got no functioning government and it's usually what we ask for in failing nations across the globe.

[Strontium]

They should send in the new EU army.

[magicrat]

Utter waffle from May plus some blatant lies.

 

Fuck off and take your Brexit shite with you

[Captain Howdy]

We’re going around in circles now

[clangers]

Actually her only strategy now is to run the clock down and hope that a vote close to the 21st Jan will bring over enough votes. This is scandalous in that she'll be actually trying to close off other avenues apart from her deal. The problem is there are dozens of Tory MP's plus the DUP who want a no deal Brexit anyway.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Hear fucking hear.

[Spy Bee]

She's just ignoring direction from Bercow now as well. This is just so chaotic. 

 

I think we should just mothball this lot and start again from scratch.
