Why not? The Swill in Westminster keep doing so. :-) Oh BTW, happy new year. |

A much better analogy is Brexit is shooting at the chains keeping us in solitary confinement, and the EU supplies the chains, and we pay for them. |

If you like to see what the polls say, with lots of charts and graphs then How voters want Brexit to be sorted out. I'd agree with that. |

enjoy no deal, your lot has earned it At least with no deal we're not parting with £39 Billion for no reason what so ever. |

There were 432 no votes and 202 yes votes. A historically large defeat: Never before has a British government lost so much in a parliamentary voting. Good precedent, maybe Treason May will hand in her notice now. |

NO DEAL You think its not been happening since we joined in 1973? The EU calls the UK 'Treasure Island', has done for decades. |

There's been some interesting comments, but maybe some are coloured with a degree of ignorance and misinformation. I have not met anyone that wants anything other than to leave on WTO Rules, Corbyn and his front bench of clowns is unelectable, and the Tories are riddled with people with hands up the backs of MPs trying to protect the vested interests of less than 4% of businesses at the undermining of democracy. It really is a pigs ear, and if democracy is undermined, expect civil unrest on a very large scale. |

The EU calls the UK 'Treasure Island', has done for decades.No. It's car salesmen from abroad, not only the EU, that used to call Britain "Treasure Island", because they could charge much higher prices in Britain than on the continent. |

Not as much ignorance & misinformation as you think. Many agree that the EEC with its flaws was better than what we now have. Britain was betrayed by those in Westminster who ratified the Maastricht & Lisbon Treaties. WHERE were the referendums to change the EEC to the EU? |

Not as much ignorance & misinformation as you think. If those referendums had been carried out in the UK, then half of the reasons some people used to vote BREXIT would have already been dealt with. Quite a lot of those that voted in 1972 have said they voted for a common market not the EU. |

It's not easy beeing May today. "No May" writes infamous The Sun and word jokes like "Dead as a Dodo" and "Brextinct" Labor friendly tabloid colleague Daily Mirror writes: "No deal .. No hope .. No clue..No confidence: May humiliated as Corbyn calls for vote TODAY" The Guardian illustrates it with Edvard Munch's anxiety painting "The Scream" and makes a point that even the prime minister's party friends turn against her. |

Tusk & Drunker open their mouths...again We should not be afraid of no deal No, that's not true. I'm not an advocate for no deal. What I've said is that we should not be afraid of no deal. It's not the best option by a long margin. It's not the best option for us. It's very much not the best option for a number of European countries, including Germany. But in any negotiation, you always have to have a walk-away option. When you go buy a car or buy a house or buy a piece of land, you've got to have the option of not buying it. Otherwise, the price becomes ridiculous. That's what has happened here. The price for Britain has become ridiculous. Therefore, we should go back and renegotiate properly this time. |

As seen often on these boards, a Brit chastised me for gambling & the screams heard when I gambled on the Olympics could be heard at the other end of the Channel Tunnel. I would love to see their comment to this: Do you know how many polls were right before the referendum? None, and I made 1,000 pounds profit on the day of the referendum because I saw all these polls and I put a 200-pound bet on Leave. The odds were 5 to 1. But I got my money back. Well, would you Adam & Eve it. A Government Secretary of State. ROFLMFAO. |

Best explanation that covers the past 2 years ."She is as inflexible as a dodo," one member of the government says of Theresa May - but that's not the only reason why she has been slow to compromise.When will May budge? As everyone knows, on the 1st June. :-) |

PM Theresa May remains after the vote of no confidence. Parliament voted for her to remain with a small margin - 325 votes to 306 - We will continue the work of delivering what we promised the people to carry out the referendum and to leave the EU, says Theresa May. |

PM Theresa May remains after the vote of no confidence.Had she said the country instead of the house... "We must find solutions that are negotiable and command sufficient support in this House," she added.Party politics...as usual. |
