So they are, and revoking is the answer to their prayers.

It is the only power the UK has actually, to cancel.

The other options continue the angst for many years to come, if you are fed up with it now think how you will feel in 5 years.

Or perhaps 10.

Just to cheer you up....

Well for what it's worth I do think it's a more likely scenario than a 2nd referendum. It would cause uproar though, and the very same issues prior to Brexit would remain. I'm all for taking on board views across the board, but I would see that as being Soft Brexit territory or something along those lines.

Concerns about mass immigration and so on surely will only intensify if we remain. I do appreciate the argument of trying to change the EU from the inside, but how likely is that. Granted we can veto future changes to in from the inside but that doesn't change anything already in place.

There is or was perhaps an argument, while inside the EU, for trying to limit numbers by making the process very convoluted, paying whatever fines come our way but I don't actually think our government would adhere to that anyway. They quite liked the set up of having cheap labour while being able to blame the EU for it. Win-win.

Not that I'm saying that immigration factors in with you as an issue here. But not being able to have any top end limit or say in it as a nation, while there are issues such as housing and so on, was fairly central to how we ended up in this position to begin with. It's not an unreasonable thing to want as a nation and if the EU had offered more flexibility on that front we wouldn't have been in this position to begin with.

I wonder why the new fuhrer is up in Scotland today and Yorkshire yesterday.

Out of the way or sent away to prevent any more damage?

They must be plotting against him, the 1922 committee already very disappointed with losing the vote and senior party members.

You know fuhrer (English spelling) just means leader or guide don't you? Even though they try to avoid it on its own It's still exists in modern German within some words.

It's funny because the Labour party is literally headed by two Marxists...Yet you want to describe Johnson....a neo liberal conservative with a Churchill fixation as 'fuhrer'.

Hmm. Blindingly obvious. Wants to emphasise more Police and the money he is giving to Scottish farmers.

In reality he is simply replacing the former and giving back what was already due to the latter. And it's notable the Welsh farmers didn't get much, maybe a bit less of an electoral issue with them than the sweaties.

Switching seats because he knows he will get his backside kicked by Labour in Streatham. Hope fully the Tories will do for him in the new one.

He's a very odd dictator, he wants a democratic election to resolve the impasse meanwhile the opposition who claim to be fighting for our democracy are going all out not to have one.

Really Mainey...I don't think economics works like that....Many people with phDs in economics don't agree with each other on aspects of economics.

So how does that work then?

I voted to leave...full stop. I think it is the remoaners that have been whining because they lost and can't accept it. Your attitude is typical of remoaners towards those who wanted to leave, pretty pathetic really

Many MPs who wanted themselves to remain voted for May's deal, whilst many leavers did not. The problem wasn't the leaving, it was the perceived problems associated with the "backstop" which would only get worse without any kind of deal.

The problem with playing a game of bluff in high stakes poker is that sometimes you are caught holding a pair of twos on the table and everything gets lost.

Our government ought not be gambling with the future of our children and grandchildren for the sake of proving a point.

This is not responsible negotiation at all.

So you think taking all possible options off the table is responsible

FoR the record (apologies if I.am the Xth person to say this) but:
Corbyn refuses election after screaming for one = hypocrite
Johnson demands election having stated in his leadership campaign that now is the worst time for an election = clever tactics

What's really laughable is that people on your side of the fence cannot accept that the reason the referendum was called in the first place was not because the decision was "too big for Parliament" but because it was too big for the Tory Party. If Parliament as a whole had been asked then we would not be in this mess. It was held to shut up the Eurosceptics once and for all but went badly wrong. Any referendum can be hijacked by the winds of fortune, political shenanigans, outside influences and money. That's no way to decide important issues which affect future generations much more than ourselves.

Parliament is where the will of the people is represented. No one made a "wrong choice"! It's now just an out of date choice made on issues that have subsequently expanded in complexity with greater clarity over the implications.

The Referendum Act was voted for and approved by members of all parties. It was subject to the same procedure as any other Act.

The public would be no better informed now than they were then. They continue to be exposed to a tsunami of lies, fearmongering and half truths. Nothing has changed. The idea that Parliament is any less subject to political and financial pressures is very funny.
