We will have 'access' to the single market even in a no deal scenario.

Oh 'access' as in limited access - screw the economy style access - and you complain about ppl being disengenious - as the previous poster said 'being a part of the single market' is an important for a significant portion of the population and you dismiss this saying people were given clear choices and opted against this, despite Leave saying both control of immigration and enjoyment of economic benefits were possible.

To recap .. your previous claim all polling said prioritising trade over immigration was the case is complete and utter bollox. You then conflated access to the single /internal market with membership.

People were given a very clear choice. The Remain camp main argument was leaving would have a significant/disastrous economic impact. The electorate heard this message then a majority decided on a different path. Stating we could have more control of our immigration and enjoy economic benefits after regaining more control after leaving is an indisputable fact. Claiming the net loss would outway these 'benefits' is a matter of opinion/conjecture.

Ok, the first line is wrong, want to check that for starters?

Politically Boris nailed his colours to the mast when he led the Leave campaign. He will never been taken seriously as anything other than a Brexiteer.

As for Theresa May, I can't believe she could have been so stupid as to be a Remainer at heart but still take the PM gig and commit her government to a Hard Brexit. To get a Hard Brexit the leader has to be 100% committed to it body and soul and surround herself with like-minded people. She does not believe in a Hard Brexit but is not intelligent enough to see that there are some very nasty short-term consequences with a Hard Brexit. And losing her majority in parliament has shattered what confidence she had.

The current Tory infighting is absolutely obscene, but this shit will go on until at least October and the EU Summit. There will be No Deal and at that point will Theresa May really be able to carry on?

Boris sways with the wind. If he sees Brexit as becoming a mess, he will switch sides just to fulfil his personal ambitions.

Ok, you said..

Staying in the Single Market has been a key priority for voters in every poll since the referendum about priorities, including over "lowering immigration"

I have provided polling evidence which shows controlling immigration is a bigger factor than trade access in numerous polls. Care to show your workings/evidence?

European Economic Area. Like Norway is for example. There's still a legal argument to be had on this as Article 127 of The EEA Agreement may not be covered by Article 50. It's effectively, along with continued customs union membership, where we're hoping to be heading during the transition that nobody voted for either as the 'no deal' scenario alternative won't be too pretty for anyone.
they are independent treaties, until we invoke Article 127 we remain in the Single Market it describes. doesnt cover Customs Union though, so perhaps we'll hear more about this in the coming months?

I feel like I should start a poll, 'How much longer will we continue to pay to be members of the single market?'

Obviously there is Dec 2020 and Dec 2021, but what other options do you think I should put on the poll? :angel:

The infamous Take back Control. We always had control of our borders. Brexit lied about Turkey joining the EU, and had posters saying our borders were now with Syria. People were led to believe that hundreds of thousands of refugees were going to pour into Britain from Syria. Very misleading.

Immigration has been forced down, causing problems for universities who rely on overseas students paying full whack for their courses. Doctors have been refused visas to come and work in our NHS because the Tories want to run down the NHS to privatise it.
People that have lived here for decades coming over as children getting locked up, ready for deportation because they couldn't find sufficient documentation to prove they'd been here since the 50s/60s and 70s. Oh yes, we had control, especially once Theresa May changed the rules in 2015.

Ok, if we wanted to stop all EU citizens from entering the country tomorrow ... would this be legally possible?

If Turkey was never going to join please explain the fact Turkey has been an EU accession country for years with billions of EU funding bringing them ever closer to entry-level criteria.

Net immigration has only dropped since the referendum result. Are you in favour of mass immigration or controlled immigration where all immigrants are treated equally regardless of race creed or colour or country of origin. If the latter you shouldn't be in favour of ongoing EU membership.

You can't be bothered to check simple facts or you don't want to admit that you are wrong?

I'm still waiting for you to provide some links to the polls.you said existed - I couldn't find them and even posted evidence that staying/leaving the CU was neck and neck. So do your polls not really exist ?

Despite Call Me Dave stating in a public speech that he would support and assist Turkey joining ???

I ask you for a 4th time where do I make any claims about polls? Are you confused...hint get the quote with the name. Reading forum posts should be simple

Well for a start you have 48.1% of people who don't want to leave in the first place. Staying in the Single Market has been a key priority for voters in every poll since the referendum about priorities[, including over "lowering immigration" and generally EEA comes out as the most popular choice for "what sort of Leave do you want" in all opinion polling.

Are you drunk or unwell?
