If TM opts for no deal there are a number of Remain Tories who would resign the whip. At that point he might get a deal to pass though they would probably abstain rather than vote against.

A general election on top of everything would be brilliant. A Corbyn government would be wonderful. He would bankrupt the country within three years. Fantastic!!

This rather demonstrates that the demographic change is far from the only factor in changing attitudes to Brexit, since the latest poll has Remain beating Leave by a record 56 : 44 per cent. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/brexit-news-latest-support-for-staying-in-eu-hits-highest-level-since-referendum-as-56-per-cent-say-a4041406.html?fbclid=IwAR0xYlTICQI-2JYx-2foDYpaiVQS9JMHaOK8ndbrSq9l5uej2xRKdKOosr0 No wonder that diehard Brexiters fear a second referendum.

Why didn't the EU respect the vote of the catalan people?The brexit vote or the treaty votes they made the irish and dutch vote for constantly.How long before expressing a view to leave the EU gets you an international arrest warrant and put in jail on trumped up charges? They did that to the leaders of catalonia for peacefully and democratically trying to leave, what's one more small step of suppression?The EU doesn't seem to respect the votes of the european people haven't you noticed that isn't that and alarming trend?

paddyfool 379 Posted January 17, 2019 The thing is, the EU couldn't intervene with Spain on behalf of the Catalans, because that was an issue over which Spain had national sovereignty. And any attempt to change the rules so they could intervene would be sure to be vetoed by Spain, among other countries. It's fair to say that the Catalonians have not been treated well, and their democratic wishes have not been respected... but this is an issue with the Madrid gvt, not Brussels.

That wasn't really the point he was making. Granted, it was a sovereignty issue but, I suspect, his point is about the thundering silence that came from Brussels over it. They COULD have offered the Spanish and Catalan Governments arbitration, asked Madrid to not jackboot their way to Barcelona but they did nowt really. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,051 Posted January 21, 2019 I wonder if, having survived a VoNC, Tezza is still going to sell out the DUP and Norn Ireland. Heard summat about a re-negotiation of the Good Friday Agreement. So think it seems a resurgent IRA. Maybe a thread should be opened on the Irish Question...something I thought would never happen again in my lifetime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw a guy on the telly yesterday, born to German parents and lived here his entire life. Pay 65 quid or get deported, sunshine. Somebody should get legal aid and take this to the Supreme Court.
