So, seems as he is trying to put a customs union and other hand cuffs onto May's deal which make it worse than just staying, he is just playing games to get Brexit stopped. He is a total lying, politiking kunt. Not so different from May...

    No deal was firmly voted off the table but is very much on the table until it is removed which it won't be until it is replaced with something else they're trying to agree with just a week to go before we leave with a no deal. Confused yet?

    GE doesn't resolve the impasse but delays it. Otherwise once we wade through your gutter talk you almost make sense, not sure, too much shit in the air.

    They are not going to let us leave, the only way some Doris-Corbyn deal is going to get through is if they attach a second referendum to it in the name of a peoples vote as that sounds nicer and can pretend it's not actually a second referendum. If Doris agrees to that Corbyn demand she will finally be toast as half her cabinet will resign which is the only positive. There will be another long extension and another after that if needed until we permanently stay.

    I think there's doubt in any reasonable person's mind that our PM, ministers, MPs and civil service were from day one determined to do what it takes to stay in.

    One of many problems with Ref2 is that there can be no politician-proof options to leave since it is the politicians themselves that must confirm the action. And if they were prepared to deliver we wouldn't be in this situation.

    A50 extension leads us into an endless loop from which the only escape is the warm embrace of the communal suicide pact.

    I thought you were arguing earlier that the UK had a clear plan...

    If there is to be another referendum, or a confirmatory vote, then it should be between only two options. The Parliamentary agreed way forward for brexit, confirmed by the EU, or remain.

    Brits love to disagree cordially and do nothing, that's why they are so inept in accomplishing anything, and why they have been a liability all those years in moving EU forward, they are basically dead weight

    not even a tsunami would panic those fools

    WTF??? couldn't Tusk just shut the fuck up and not raise hopes for the MPs loons?

    Brexit: EU's Donald Tusk 'suggests 12-month flexible delay'
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-47821646

    European Council President Donald Tusk is proposing to offer the UK a 12-month "flexible" extension to its Brexit date, according to a senior EU source.

    His plan would allow the UK to leave sooner if Parliament ratifies a deal, but it would need to be agreed by EU leaders at a summit next week.

    The UK's Conservatives and Labour Party are set to continue Brexit talks later.

    Attorney General Geoffrey Cox has told the BBC that if they fail, the delay is "likely to be a long one".

    The UK is due to leave the EU on 12 April and, as yet, no withdrawal deal has been approved by MPs.

    Downing Street said "technical" talks between Labour and the Conservatives on Thursday had been "productive" and would continue on Friday.

    Tusk's flextension is an interesting proposition. After all, there's no reason why Article 50 needs to be fixed at two years other than that's the way it was drafted.
    It can be the option if it's the way forward for brexit, agreed in Parliament.

    At the moment there is no majority for any form of brexit. If there was, the UK wouldn't be in the mess it's in. If you can't decide what you want and all options are inferior to remain then the choice is obvious.

    The only option superior to remain is a clean Brexit which is what people voted for but the government will never implement it and they will never put it on any future referendum either as they are shit scared people would vote for it. No one leaver or remainer wants Doris deal or any form of it on that we can all agree so any future vote should be remain or a clean Brexit but that ain't gonna happen as we are never leaving.

    But no vote is still a vote.

    They need a functioning parliament and a strong, decisive and capable leader like NZ / Adern.

    don't worry, we might ask all EU members to forfeit all royal institutions before they become fully integrated with EU

    that should be the breaking point for you to revolt and go full hard brexit

    It's what you voted for and what you think is superior to remain. The government forecasts for no-deal suggest you are wrong in your belief.

    All forecasts about what would happen after a vote to leave were wrong to.

    I am sorry if I offend anyone, It is not my intent.
    I am getting tired of this Long British Goodby! I don't believe it would be good from Britain to leave the EU, but if you all want to go by all means GO, nobody is stopping you. But you don't want to go, you want to go but maintain a special status! Why? because IMO , even if you might not want to admite it, you think you are special.
    IMO you are not, you are just as good, ot just as bad as anyone else. I understand the disruptions associated with a hard Brexit, but you all should had thought about that when you voted to get out. Well you didn't did you?
    Perhaps now that you have, you might want to revisit the issue, Knowing what you know now, vote on it again.
    You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you do, everyone would want cake, or do you think you are so special you deserve more cake than others? I think some of you do think so..
    Go back, vote on it again, and make it not a simple majority. I know , you went in with a simple majority, you shouldn't had !!
    but you did , so now you want two wrongs to make a right. It will not!!
    The only option you have now is for things to go great in Britain, if you leave and they don't, half the people will blame the brexit, if you stay and they don't , half the people will blame the remainers
    Not a very good situation for the "U" in the UK.
    I know you will say but , but, Democracy!
    Democracy has being compromised before for good reasons and IMO your situation is a very very good reason.
    Just my Opinion.
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    I agree , but , if I understand this correctly , you guys don't just want to leave. you want to leave with a special status, and there lays the rub.
    What person or entity does not desire a special status? I know I do! and if allowed everyone would want a special status, IMO it would be the beginning of the end of the EU. How would the EU falling apart , which is what IMO would happen, help the EU's desire for a greater GDP?
    Then we have the issue that whatever happens ,a significant portion of your population would feel wronged, if thing don't work great , which IMO will not, because Brexit or no brexit, there will still be other challenges ahead.. How do you guys plan to address that issue??

    The problem is the disconnect between politicians and the people and the politicians refuse to implement what the people voted for and the losing side in the referendum refuse to accept the result and will stop at nothing in trying to overturn it. Bit like libtards in the US refusing to accept Trump and trying all the can to get rid of him.
