[Politics] Brexit

I think you're reading too much into it. I'm perfectly confident in my decision and would make the same one again. It's just amusing watching remainers come up with loads of reasons not to leave that should have been in the remain campaign as they realise they could probably have won had they bothered to campaign on the positives of staying in rather than the negatives of leaving. It gets even more amusing the closer we get to leaving.

Question.
If Parliament rejected no-deal and a deal. What is the alternative?
It wouldn't happen to be no-Brexit would it?

Yes, it does take time to pass a well thought through Act. How much time have we got? If there is no legal right of work or residence for EU citizens, employers and landlords would be breaking the law by employing or housing them.
The current crisis in a nutshell:
It's worrying that 7% of MPs couldn't answer the question - I thought they were meant to be more intelligent than us plebs ?
So, what you are effectively claiming, is that armed with the proper information, the nation would vote to remain.
Interesting
I, and I suspect plenty of other people, didn't expect leave to win. Problem being is that remain ran an awful campaign full of negatives and scaremongering. I still support leaving. In the same way, I don't expect us to beat Man City this season but you never know, maybe they'll use the wrong tactics and Murray will sneak a goal with his penis.

Or Remain could have won if leavers had bothered to check the facts. I agree the remain campaign was shite.

The thread to end all threads 9335 pages and counting, so I was thinking how long until it hits the 10,000 page mark? for me the way it's going I fancy it will get there before Boris drops us through the trap door at the end of October.

Would you vote for no deal?
And do you believe no deal would win v remain in a straight shoot off?

Lady seagull won't even acknowledge that Johnson has refused to pledge legal rights to EU citizens.

Whatever way you voted, the last 3 years has surely revealed to you that there are some proper idiots in the house of commons, I offer Chris Grayling and David Davis as clear evidence for a lack of intellect being no barrier to a political career.

Brexit will be being argued over for a good few years yet.

Not if the pledge to allow certain non-UK born citizens to stay, grants certain rights to them, which it would have to.
Why are people so alarmist about doomsday approaching?!
''people will die''
No, they won't, not any more than would have done.
''people won't be able to stay here and work & live''.
No, that won't happen either.
''we won't be able to trade''.
We certainly will. Boris may be lots of things but he's not stupid and the Country will definitely be able to trade.
''the sky will fall in''.
Nope.
This is a little more important than the result of a football match, though.
Again - what you seem to be admitting, is that we are planning to leave the EU, not because on the basis of the true facts, a majority consider it beneficial to do so, but simply because of a poor campaign / misinformation.
If so, I agree with you completely.
If the choice was remain or no deal then I'd vote no deal. I'd prefer a deal though, but a good one not the shit May came up with.
They don't care about any minor details like that.
So long as they are seen to 'win'.
Seriously
A good and fair point well made !
