If Brexit was a good idea, the Brexiters would not be concerned about a parliamentary vote about it.

They also campaigned for our government to take back sovereignty... Well, here you go. They all knew the referendum was advisory.

In other news today, an independent economic advisory board has told the German government (and pretty much by extension the EU) to do anything they can to keep Britain in the Union. But that's pretty much been ignored.

It would be remiss of Parliament to accept the Article 50 trigger if it were argued successfully in The Commons that to do so could be of great harm to the country, in that we are very ill-prepared to go it alone.

Do we have any competent trade negotiators in place yet, for example?

Stratification of society occurs under any system. You know that.
It is more about democracy and national government being undermined by self interest groups. The world is corrupt enough already without us helping it along.

They are part of the same problem. It's the ruling elite trying to protect itself.

I'm sounding more left wing than comrade Gusset.

There never will be and I never will.
Your logic for voting remain is ridiculous.

If we are talking about Britain then people are generally much better of than 100 or 200 years ago.
The super rich might be richer and certainly the share of wealth could be more equal but the super rich make the rules. By voting remain you clearly want to help them with that.

You're sounding f*cking hilarious more like.

Those elitist judges, doing their jobs and applying British law as handed down for centuries - the pricks.

As was clear from previous deep recessions, the elite tend to do well whatever the circumstances. As I see it, there is no reason why the elite would not profit handsomely from exiting the EU with the appropriate well-advised asset movements.

If the economy does well, we will all be toasting our cleverness in voting Brexit; or acknowledging how silly we were to vote Remain. On the other hand, if the predicted collapse happens, it will not be the elite who fall by the way side; it will be the likes of you and I Hrolfy me old mate who slip into the mire.

Yeah I wonder why. I guess they are less capable of rational thought. Or it's a coincidence. But yeah, they've all been at it on my Facebook.

Whilst I voted for, and still want Brexit, I do have to agree with some of this. The error was the wording on the literature that went with the referendum. Promising that voting for it would make it so was not something that could be promised. It wasn't the only load of sh*te we were dealt in the lead up either.

From my point of view, I just hope that it sews up any questions about the legality of things with minimal delay (although the telegraph report a potential year delay). Pro or Anti, no one could be hoping for a delay to this because the uncertainty is doing nobody any good. The only reason I can see any Remainers wanting a delay is that a delay could turn into an attempt to brush the whole thing under the carpet.
