Brexit

[Jack Staff]

The Scottish Parliament has formally voted in favour of revoking Article 50 and halting Brexit, unless a second referendum on leaving the EU is held.

So parliament has voted for what it wants....... But it hasn't. Tick tock.

[Gill W]

The Becket one was a close vote, though.

However, yet another impasse.

[barney]

Close.? Well, closest but still 382 MPs didn't vote for it in a remain parliament.

[barney]

Didn't Bercow say recently that a vote cannot be brought again unless it's substantially different to the original. I think we may be heading for a GE.

[barney]

The losers are trying to portray it as some sort of victory. This appears to be the new norm. What is going on?

[Gill W]

This country has gone mad, that’s what’s happened.

I wonder if Paddy Power will now re-instate No Deal as favourite!

[barney]

No deal is the very worst thing for the Irish

This is what happens when Parliament takes over decision making from the elected Govt....just saying.

eh? Just who do you think sits in Parliament?

[barney]

All that seriously remains is the off chance of the EU deal, no deal or revocation. If parliament chooses revocation, God help us.

The government abstained on all votes Jack. That is why a few appeared to be close.

eh? So we don't even HAVE a government?????

[barney]

I'll explain while trying not to be too patronising... dear. The government decided collectively not to pass opinion on the various options. That is because their priority is the Uk/EU agreement. It's not wise to give credence to other options.

Oh enlightened one. Please explain elected government, when we have no such thing.
The conservatives bought their way to power at a cost of £1 billion. Totally wasted as tonight's events have proved.

Why ‘God help us’ ?

[barney]

Even you can understand that the government has been formed by permission of the Queen. Granted they are a minority government but a government nonetheless. And there was me thinking you were some kind of constitutional expert.

Oh Gill, you know and I know the implications of parliament overturning the legitimate referendum result. The far right will have a field day.

I'm was referring to #5610. Not elected, but given permission by Liz (as you say) after forking out £1Billion.

Yes, let's appease the far right by giving them what they want. How very British, NOT!

[Gill W]

‘even me’

You’ve attempted to patronise me before and it didn’t work, and you got told off by Annie.

I’ve noted the ‘friendly’ wave, but that doesn’t excuse being snippy.

Legitimate referendum? The one where the Leave campaigns broke the law?

[Gill W]

Barney, I apologise for post 5622, as, re-reading the thread this morning, it looks as if you were attempting to patronise Jack, and not me.

However, Jack is the second person on this forum you have attempted to patronise - that's not good.
