Brexit Delayed. Another defeat for Johnson

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

Aye me and 48% of the rest of the UK.

Nothing more needs to be said your correct, because its a working plan they are after.

And not more meaningless bluster nor hyperbole.

Where that plan again, in the ditch next to Boris's corpse per chance?

a reply to: OtherSideOfTheCoin

You could make it a legally enforced vote rather than an advisory vote for one.

and that would make a difference in the fighting currently going on?
is anyone in the government not enforcing the referendum because its not "legally enforced vote"?

Actually the government are trying pretty darn hard to deliver on the first vote its parliament thats the sticking point.

so the elected reps are not following the vote of the people?

a reply to: shooterbrody

Boris Johnson has confirmed he will not seek to delay Brexit after MPs voted to compel him to do so.

He is breaking the law.

What penalties will he face?

Where is the legality there?

Another massive defeat for the government with the Letwin amendment, this basically says that Brexit has to be extended by at least 6 months now until the "deal" can be written into UK law. This means that parliament have more time to look at the deal, and refuse to pass it into law in those six months. It buys time for parliament for at least six months assuming that the EU grant the extension. What happens next is unclear but it could mean that the government don't even bother to pass a meaningful vote on the Brexit deal agreed upon earlier this week between the UK Government and the EU.

To be clear the vote on the deal has not yet happened, and it might not now.

This forces Boris to request an extension by 23:00 today.

Of course its up to the EU to grant that extension.

I bet you can hardly contain your excitement OSOTC

I do not know
would you be so kind as to enlighten me?

a reply to: shooterbrody

Probably none.

Coz it's one rule for some and another for the rest.

Legally though it's a bit of a minefield.

a reply to: andy06shake
thanks

is this a big deal in the every day lives of citizens?

a reply to: andy06shake

What penalties will the MPs who have worked against Brexit face?

Round and round we go , where we stop nobody knows.

When i was a wean its was these things.



Minus the foam rubber crap, and just hard concrete.

It all added to the experience all the same.

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

Did rather a few not lose there whip already?

If we were to decide Brexit via ""Penalties"" you do realize Boris is apt to put it over the bar?

Might be on to something all the same, coz extra time just about up.

a reply to: shooterbrody

It can certainly seem that way considering the implications.

The division is palpable amongst our people.

Hell of a predicament really, no matter the outcome.

a reply to: andy06shake
thanks
I hope a remedy all can get behind is the outcome

Because they can't agree on a deal.

There was never a deal mentioned on the ballot paper it was for simply

LEAVE or REMAIN

The deal was conjoured up to complicate the issue by a government

who were out of touch with the people and never believed that the

result would be leave.

There is a general acceptance that leaving without a deal would be very bad for the UK so we need a deal.

Is there I think you'll find that isnt so.

So whats basically been happening is everyone is falling out over what that deal should be, the UK voted to leave the EU but we didn't vote on how and its the how thats the sticking point.

Theres only one way to leave anywhere ......no ifs and buts not which door

to leave by ...... just LEAVE.

The public voted leave, even Corbyn voted leave, he has always been anti EU, he is causing problems when he doesn't believe in remaining in the EU, he is just trying to bring down the government but he is so unpopular he is miles behind BJ in the polls

He's so dissolutional still thinks he will be PM.

Even when he has been refused as a caretaker PM.

Some people never know when to give up.

The Brexit vote exposed the sham of Democracy in the UK! It makes me wonder if the citizens of the UK had access to guns, if Parliament would still be giving the people the middle finger?

a reply to: jaws1975

Aye guns are the answer.

Brexit or no Brexit gun control laws are hardly in dispute over here.

Middle finger to that idea.

a reply to: eletheia
Corbyn has always been anti EU.
Except when it suits him.
So much for being principled.
I am absolutely sickened by these remain MPs antics.
They need to be reminded who elects them.
I think they will get that reminder come the GE.
Bring it on asap please.
