If you were buying a house and as part of the negotiations you agreed a (crappy) deal regarding moving out of your own house and into temporary accommodation, but with no confirmed date on when you could move into the new house YOU WOULDN'T GO THROUGH WITH IT... unless you're a ****ing idiot.

Funnily enough, I know someone who did almost exactly this. And yes, it was a ****ing stupid decision that I was baffled by.

agree on the first point , no need for any other vote, the first vote 2 years ago was the one that counted, you know the Democratic vote to LEAVE the EU

Democracy doesn't stop after one vote.

Why not have a vote on the deal (when it is finally sorted out) or stay in? Democracy cannot be destroyed by democracy.

You see I think you're wrong. I think democracy (or weaseling as you call it) will win through and Brexit probably won't happen now that everybody knows what a shambles it would be.

And i think you are wrong, you are mistaken to think weaseling is democracy.

Democracy will indeed win, a weasel do it all over again referendum will not happen, the political party that tells the people to vote again will be finished for decades.

Wont happen, they may lose a few votes but thats it.

People wont vote for UKIP/whoever in the numbers needed to make any impact.

No it's a far more important decision, so to carry on with it based on the deal on offer and the likely no deal option and everything that goes with it is even stupider.

To expand on this, the whole thing is down to Tory twattishness. Cameron didn't need to include a referendum in his manifesto. He did it to try and win a small beer squabble with UKIP. And May didn't have to call the election that saddled her with the neanderthals of the DUP. The whole thing is a mess of purely Tory making.

Of Tory mistakes, yes, without doubt. But the long term cause was the ignorance shown to the common man (sic) by the so called intellectual liberal elite. If they had reigned in the excesses of attempting to make the world a fluffier, friendlier, less threatening, more tolerant, gluten free, and gender fluid place in less than a generation then perhaps the scum in their council houses might not have revolted in the Brexit vote. Those living on Mueseli Hills have a lot too answer for.

THAT'S RIGHT, YOU CARRY ON BEING DEMOCRATIC ACCEPTING THE DEMOCRATIC RESULT IN THE FIRST PLACE, just admit you just want to stop Brexit at any cost because you're undemocratic and upset because you were so smug that you thought we wouldn't be leaving, be honest with yourself

Great to see Parliament looking to join one of NSCs many music threads by referencing Hotel California , whether Mrs May knew what the reference was about is of course another matter

Democracy doesn’t indeed stop after one vote, no one is stopping democracy, remainers if they feel inclined should indeed campaign to rejoin after we have left.
You have confused yourself though, stopping a democratic vote from happening before that vote is concluded because you didn’t like the outcome is not democracy as you believe it is.

could outline it then, because between conflicting comments from Corbyn, Starmer, McDonnell and others i haven't a clue what their policy is.

The policy is all options are on the table, except a hard Brexit.

Theresa May said as much herself this morning. She will never get this deal through parliament and said it could be no deal or no brexit.
Many Mps are calling for a Peoples Vote.
