I think France is pushing for amendments, Eastern European Agencies have been bending the rules, claiming workers they are employing should be subject to their local minimum wage requirements, not the minimum wage of the country they are being sent to work in.

Correct. I won't.
Agreed - it was far too vague, hence all the arguing since. Probably could do with another referendum where we actually know what we're voting for, don't we?

If No Deal is so good, why are we waiting until October 31st. Why not just declare it today?
By which means?
No Deal
Norway
Canada
Canada +
Customs Union
EEA
The fact that it is impossible to answer my question is the reason we're in this mess right now.
There is no mandate for a specific Brexit.
Plenty who voted Leave would not vote Leave if No Deal was the route out. Plenty who voted Leave would not vote Leave if May's Deal was the way out. Each were sold and voted for their own vision of how Brexit was going to pan out.
See the issue yet?

I think it was clear, 52% want out.
52% of what?
17.4 million of a voting population of 43 million people. Many of whom have changed their minds now they know more about what is happening.

The vote was to leave the EU, wasn't it?
And indeed this was intentional as Dominic Cummings (now of No.10) knew that if they nailed down what Brexit they wanted it would alienate enough Brexiters to change the result. He specifically said this during a Committee hearing in the Commons about 6 months after the referendum.
Yes....and now we need to figure out How we wish to leave, and whether there is a mandate for whichever form of Leave is being put forward.
You're being disingenuous, as you know if it was No Deal Brexit being voted for, it would not have won. If it was May's Deal being voted for, it would not have won.

Dominic Raab (I didn't realise Dover was so important for cross Channel trade) really struggling here.

It was indeed that simplistic. So we could leave the EU at 23.00 on 31/10, then rejoin the EU at 23.01 on the same night and the referendum mandate would have been wholly and utterly fulfilled.

Not seen such Bravery!
The maddening thing is that the UK could join such a trading area even with a *no deal* brexit.
This is EFTA - not to be confused with the EEA ( single market ) - no need for the 'evil' free movement - but there is no talk of doing this.
We'd be like Switzerland without a trading deal with the EU - but would gain some other trade deals.
Oh well. We have moved from a Democracy to a Clownocracy. Led by fools.
What an absolute thundercunt. "There are bits of the WA we're ok with." That's the deal the Gov agreed with the EU. Unbelievable how they're trying to paint the EU as the bad guy whilst showing no principles whatsoever. *****.

Back in the good old days, we voted to join or not to join. No small print, what if this, what if that? People simply accepted the democratic system.
Nowadays, all new ballgame with all the keyboard experts.
