Official Brexit Referendum Discussion

They British either do a hard exit or none at all at this point.

That's not correct. It's still quite possible to get a long enough extension to work out some kind of withdrawal agreement. It pretty clearly wouldn't happen with May in charge, but someone else could do it.

Odds of no-deal rising.

So what happens now? I find it unlikely they just go through a no deal brexit without attempting to change leaders first.

This sets the table for a series of votes on Wednesday to see parliamentary support for several options (softer Brexit, no deal, second referendum).

I'm not sure yet what the ballot is going to be.

 

[tvolsfan]

So after today, I think we should have a better idea if this is happening or not.

What a circus!

Globalist controlled leaders once again trying to squash nationalism...

The votes aren't binding, but they'll reveal what parliament may ultimately support if/when May's plan is tossed out.

Agreed. I think we’ll see how much the recent petition and protests have affected the politicians, too.

 

[tvolsfan]

Voting for another extension honestly seems embarrassing.

 

[Velo Vol]

I think right now the debate is being driven by factions angling within parliament, rather than public pressure. That would change if there's a long extension.

Elected leaders once again trying not to tank the country’s economy...

The UK historically has always been a top ten economy with or without the EU...

 

[Velo Vol]

None of the eight options got a majority today, which shows how divided everyone is on what should be done.

The UK would be more economically sound if they left the EU

You should tell that to the UK.

 

[Velo Vol]

The UK would be more economically sound if they left the EU

On what basis?

 

[Rishvol]

On what basis?

On the basis that they and Germany are the only reason the EU stays a float.

Are you just talking about the EU political structure or the EU single market?

Political structure of the EU is a crap shoot. The UK had the third largest economy in the world. The gap closes tremendously if they free themselves of the EU parasite.

Again, someone should tell the UK that. It would save them a lot of confusion and humiliation.
