Is there anybody who is anywhere near better than BJ in the BSh-ting Tory party. I don't think so. Ever since the witch was in No.10 every Tory that I have come across is so selfish and couldn't give a monkeys about anybody else, so whoever takes over will be just as bad.

I think Boris only got the job as most of the Conservatives are sitting back and thinking, "you got us into this mess now get us out of it". I don't think they believe he can or will deliver and most of them can say we gave you the gig and you failed to deliver.

Think we need to face facts. Brexit is unlikely to happen. Despite Boris still talking about leaving, can’t see it happening. The will of the majority will lose out to the will of the minority because its easy to just continually put barriers in the way.

Time to call a halt to this farce, another referendum or an election is the only way forward. The only winners are the EU who will be invigorated, feeling they can do whatever they want and the Uk will just meekly comply.
"The will of the majority will lose out to the will of the minority"

Isn't that what democracy is all about.

Hopefully a new world of politics will open up after this. We need change and the present parties are not capable of delivering it.

Some would say so much better to have a leader who cannot make up his mind, dithers, switches positions, sits on the fence, procrastinates until after an election is better. But I guess doing and saying nothing means you won’t break the law. Something to be said for lacking courage.

The democracy was trying to implement the outcome of the referendum Max. The way he went about it was plain stupid. I would suggest it’s the remainers who continually subvert democracy.

Are you writing about Boris Johnson? He continually changes his viewpoint depending on the way the political wind blows.

His stance on Brexit has been clear for a long time. This is what we are talking about and that was where he broke the law.

Neither of the main parties are fit to govern in my opinion. But I’m not too sure what the answer is. I’ve never been so dissatisfied. Labour are missing a trick by sticking with Corbyn whose own aide is critical. Get someone decent in, fast, but that won’t be allowed. As for the Tories, I struggle to see anyone capable to take over.

What a sodding mess.

Cummings appears to be dodgy, and you cant trust people like that.
Is he not compulsed to send his government to Brussels and ask for an extension? If he fails to do that then he might go to jail but more than likely he will be ousted by a government of national unity who will undertake this and a few other tasks before then letting the electorate decide on a new government.

If I agreed to buy a house 3 and a quarter years ago, then I think I should have the right to revisit that decision before signing. With the brexit vote having such a small (but decisive) majority for leave, I think that we should be able to have a second referendum. We all understand the issues much better now. Even if the vote was only between a negotiated and a hard brexit, I feel we need a vote. I can't believe in anyone's lifetime we'd get a majority for a hard brexit.

Yes. But it wouldn’t have taken you 3 years to buy a house. You would already be sitting in it. Having regrets, or not. The reason why it has been so difficult is that Theresa May’s treaty was never brexit. Whatever brexit she bought back labour would not back it. And the majority of parliament don’t want to leave. It’s not difficult. There is a concerted effort through the heart of the establishment backed by the EU to make us vote again. Like every other country that tried to leave. You know it. I know it. As far as Boris Johnson is concerned. I don’t think he wants to leave either. He just took the other side of the trade to further his career. Johnson’s family are liberals and he is a liberal.

Max. I was down when Corbyn got elected to lead labour and the thugs took over the party. No longer the party I’ve supported much of my life. Then again the warning signs were there with Ed Milliband.

Had hopes of Cameron but he fecked it up then went off to avoid the resulting mess, same for Gideon.

Since then I’ve grown sick of the whole lot, me, I’d vote for Guy Faulks. He had the right idea after all.

Do you not think that there's a chance that the reason it's been so difficult is that it was never, ever, going to be as simple as the Leave campaign kept telling us it would be (some might say they were lying to us)? Do you maybe think that people might have been less inclined to vote Leave had they know that?

Actually, apologies. This shouldn't be on this thread at all, because this thread is about the Prorogation, and as we all know, the Prorogation was "nothing to do with Brexit" My bad.

What real difference is it going to make . Boris can’t take us out of the EU without a deal by law. No matter what deal Boris gets Parliament will probably turn it down anyway .It’s a Remainer Parliament who simply don’t want to leave. What we need now is a General Election . Bring it on .

Boris isn't even trying to get a deal. He's running toward the cliff edge knowing he will be stopped by sensible people. But when they do he will turn round and say "well guys I tried but parliament wouldn't let me"

Only Labour's promise to renegotiate a deal and put it to the people with the option to stay in makes any sense. The will of the people (whatever that MORONIC sound bite means) could then be expressed without the loony right subverting democracy to achieve Brexit

I think he can, he just doesn't ask for the extension, then we have a bigger constitutional crises that we have now.

I said this 2/3 years old, we are being played.

But Doh , most leavers use the " will of the people " statement
Forgetting that a referendum is a vote of opinion by the public &

NOT a BINDING parliamentary statute result .

If remain mps made that point CLEAR , Leavers would be able to see
It was never going to be easy .

It's interesting that you and many others are able to say that about a simple binary choice. In fact some people off of the telly seem to be the least able to grasp it and always talk about complexity. Weird.
