Told you, I always back the winner
Just opened a nice 2014 Tempranillo to celebrate. I may well retire from this thread soon to start a home made curry to serve with the Real Liverpool match.
Very best of health

Serious question. If we leave with no deal then who supplies the c50 agency services we currently get from EU? Generally a couple are based in each country. We need to reinvent all that in a few months. Do you actually think this is an option?

So you think that 70 per cent of the population would go out and vote for a no deal brexit when we know 50 percent do not want any form of Brexit?

Much like at least 50% were always going to vote to Remain first time around ...
So you are saying your predictions are similar to incorrect predictions?

I'm saying polls showing a 70% + majority are more likely to be right than the ones showing a few percentage points difference.
I see the Irish have voted to end the abortion ban in a referendum. Interesting to see if the losing side claiming they fully 'respect' this result but think it should be enacted in a way that restricts abortions in 99.999999% of cases.
Difference being that people actually knew what they were voting for. The fact that a few people in cabinet can't agree what Brexit means suggests that maybe the general public didn't all vote for the same thing. Other than that, an excellent comparison which I am sure we will see made by all the top brains such as Farage and hannon (who wanted different brexits of course).
Come on you are smarter then that. If we know that 50 per of the population do not want any form of Brexit how do you extrapolate that 70 per cent of the population, given the chance in your hypothetical scenario, would vote for no deal/extreme form of brexit. Are you saying that given the choice remainers would not vote for soft Brexit and would prefer instead hard/cliff edge Brexit?

Brexstremists shit themselves if you even hint at a 2nd referendum. No idea why.

because the purpose of a 2nd referendum has always been to overrule the first. if anyone was intelligent enough to frame a 2nd referendum as a question on what exist looks like, then there might be support for it.

Once you let the referendum genie out of the bottle, all sorts of issues arise. Harold Wilson (who in effect invented the 1975 one to save Labour from splitting) has a lot to answer for.

Bit late in the day to decide that you want to know or influence what Brexit will look like, isn't it?
You'll get what you're given. My guess would be membership in all but name, with all the associated costs but no influence. Exactly what the EU wanted from the day that fool Cameron announced the vote.
Still, [MENTION=11191]Pretty pink fairy[/MENTION] will be happy as we will have left. If I didn't know better, it's almost as if the whole Brexit campaign and vote was put together solely for people like him

I see in The Sunday Times today that £829k has been set aside, not spent though, for the Electoral Commission to still run the EU elections next May. Tick-tock etc though.

The wondrous situation could conceivably arise that whatever element of the Cabinet is currently in favour of the softest of Brexits could find themselves in the position of being able to push their choice through Parliament, to the absolute fury of the Mogg and the ERG.
They, the whacky tabloids and their believers on here will start screaming about the betrayal of the people. M'mm... the obvious way round this would be to ask the people what they think of the deal. Reasonable, no?
Unfortunately, arguing against that opportunity to avoid a soft Brexit will be - and this is the lovely bit - the heavy mob on here, who will of course claim that such a move would be the actions of undemocratic weasel loons.
