General Discussion
Call it what you like, it would still send the country down the plughole.
Just to prove my earlier point about why people might vote the way they do, Burneside wrote: “ with the prospect a Corbyn government.” If they won the next General Election, it would in fact be a Labour government...
Even if there were a change in the Tory leadership the parliamentary arithmetic would be exactly as it is now. So I agree (blimey pigs will be flying next!) with B/S that we might well be looking at another GE sometime in the near future. That or another referendum. In the meantime here is another food for thought link (which,as ever, is entirely up to individuals to read or not). ...

As I understand the situation, there is no appetite amongst the majority of MPs of whatever party for a No Deal scenario. Some 60 or so Tory MPs are hard Brexiteers but that is all. I do not see Leave MPs in the Labour party voting for a No Deal which would bring such negative results for their constituents. So, if the May proposals fall and there is no parlimentary majority for a No Deal, ...
Most of those "broken promises" apply only to the transition period, and others are mere conjecture. The article even complains that we will be paying into the EU till 2064, I think it was rather canny to spread the £40bn settlement over 45 years rather than handing it all in one go, only The Guardian could think that is a bad move. And of course, if we leave without a deal all these ...
