The 52% voted for Mays' withdrawal agreement, it's an outrage that the antidemocratic ERG refused to support it. Traitors!

We, like our EU partners, currently trade with 24 countries on WTO only rules, we have trade deals of some kind or another with all the others WTO members. There are 164 WTO members. So in order to replicate anything like what we have now, we would need to negotiate trade deals with equal or better terms than the EU with 140 different governments. This is what I don't understand, why we will be able to negotiate better deals with everyone than we've already got. Or, alternatively, will the trade deals we can negotiate with Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Brunei, China, Cuba, Gabon, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Macau, Malaysia, the Maldives, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, Uruguay, Venezuela, the UAE and the USA make up for losing the other 140? |

jda - much as it sticks in my craw, broadly 52% vs May deal is as close as we got I think. I think the backstop / Ireland came as a surprise to many, but as a lowest common denominator about Brexit, it wasn't far off what you could say all 52% voted *at least* for.

What I love best about that twitter thread, fozzy, is how many people are accusing EFTA4UK, a group that campaigned to leave the European Union AND offered a workable alternative that could appeal to a broad church on both the remain and leave sides, of being remainers. I'm sorry, but that just proves that Leave do not know what they actually want. I'm sorry. I know what I want, and that's to remain in the European Union. I know what that involves, and I have a considerable democratic input into its future direction. I have had NO democratic input into this clusterfuck. |

What petition is this? They've been shown up to be nothing more than the equivalent a little mentalist standing on a box at speaker's corner, a sop to pretend that we have any influence at all. Sit down little people, you've got out of control, the Oxbridge Etonians don't like it and they've decided to remind you who actually is in charge, has always been and will be for ever more. |
