I see the 'people's vote' rabble have bought advertising in some tube station. Talk about own goal, t'was not that foreign country that voted leave last time :lol:
Turkey's pushing for Christmas or what do our honourable and right honourable rabble not realise that by saying this has to be settled by 'the people' in yet another vote they are as good as admitting they are a waste of time and money? Or are they just reminding everyone that they will get their way by trying every dirty trick in the book to do So?
Trust in parliament is as good as dead and as for the pillocks that masquerade as members of the labour party, the chickens have come home to roost, your dear elected leader will sit down with terrorists with no preconditions but won't do the same when invited by the PM.
Don't forget it was nothing but desperation to be elected to power by the 'we need to go left to win' that put him there so no good bleating now you so called moderates, you let him in you live with it.

There are now two rival 2nd referendum campaigns. One led by Tory MPs the other by opposition MPs. The idea is gathering momentum....

Ironically Corbyn continuing to resist a 2nd referendum is now probably your only realistic hope of avoiding one.....

How can you take no deal off the table?

State that if no deal can be reached you will revoke A50.

It’s really quite simple. If you had a logical brain. Which clearly you don’t....
You see, that doesn't take no deal off the table - it takes Brexit off the table.

Listen, and I mean listen:
You put your house on the market and ask £200,000 for it.
Weeks pass and nobody puts in an offer. Then some scroat says he'll buy it for £50.
You at that point have three alternatives; accept his fifty quid; tell him to get fxcked, you're waiting for a realistic offer; or withdraw your house from sale.
You don't have the option of saying to the potential buyer that you Don't accept that he Can't buy the house at £200,000!!!

If you haven't got a deal, YOU CANNOT DEMAND TO HAVE NO 'NO DEAL'.

You see: Logic. Try it sometime. It might improve your life.

That analogy doesn't make sense.

The point is that the entirety of the opposition (and a lot of the Tories) are united in being against No deal. You can take it off the table. Doing so harms any chance of a hard brexit. But then the opposition parties (and many Tories) do not want a hard brexit.

Logically I have outlined HOW you can take no deal off the table. You of course may not like the outcome of doing so. But that does not negate the fact that you CAN take it off the table.

You aren't very good at logic clearly!

This is the last time I'm going to try to educate you.

You can remove Brexit as an option, quite clearly.
You cannot demand no 'no deal' when a deal doesn't exist.
You are conflating no deal brexit to be brexit, they are two different things. If you'd actually learnt logic, you'd understand one thing is a class the other is a clause. You cannot demand the negative of a clause when the clause does not exist! Does that make it any fxcking clearer????

It's an inane debate about an expression that just doesn't work in context. Of in terms of any cross bench negotiations you can "take it off the table" in the sense no one who is going to be invited wants it or will argue for it.

But more widely, it remains the default option. The only way to "take it off the table" is to revoke Art 50. And May obviously isn't going to do that (now, anyway) and almost certainly can't without a vote in Parliament. It's not enough for them all to agree they don't want no deal, they have to pick something else.

Inane debate? Excuse fxcking me, try telling that to Socrates.

But, yes. The legal default position is simple withdrawal from the EU on 29th March.

(On a secondary note: I've seen quite a few politico commentators who are recently trying to twist a position, Viz we joined a common market which has morphed into a pseudo-state, so why not just have a customs union and revert back to why we joined in the first place?

Indeed why not? Because back then the rules of the customs union were democratically debated. No democratic decision making for 'third parties' would be allowed now by the super-state, is why not!)

Wowsers. It is a perfectly reasonable position to say the plan is "negotiate a deal - IF a deal is not obtainable - revoke Article 50"

That rules out a no deal brexit. Because either a) you have Brexit via a deal OR b) no brexit

That is "taking no deal off the table". If you want a debate about semantics of language, if that is what you think is important, then - I'm out and you are an even bigger loon than the one I had you down for.

But clearly you can in the circumstances we are in rule out exiting the EU without a deal. If you choose to.

She can't without a vote in Parliament. But there is a majority to avoid a "no deal exit". Hence why, she could rule out the option.

I'm not arguing she should by the way. Just that all the opposition leaders have asked her to do that.
