I think you are confusing ‘no deal ever’ with ‘no deal now.’ I haven’t seen anyone advocate the former. Most of the debate around a deal has been (and was at the time of the referendum) around a trade deal. The EU and the Tories decided that this issue wouldn’t be discussed until we had left...
Isn’t that basically Lucas’ point ? Too many people saying they are right and not listening to other people. Where I disagree with her is that I don’t think one has to be female to listen and compromise.
Because she herself claims that women have the ability to solve the political impasse purely on the basis of their gender. Read her quote in the article and substitute ‘black’, ‘white’, ‘straight’ or ‘gay’. This type of division is the last thing we need.
I love the bit about reaching out to people with whom they disagree and co-operating to find solutions. Her proposal is to do the exact opposite. Blairite spin at its finest.
