The EU are furious about that, it was the judges. Allowing countries to commit to Article 50 and unilaterally revoke it on a whim and repeat is not conducive to stability. 

Do you really believe that? The thing they have been trying to scupper since the vote potentially being overturned and they are supposedly furious about it? Behave.

Folk are absolutely buzzing about this but at the end of the day she’s only going to be replaced by another vile Tory, likely to be more dangerous than her.

Even for non Tory voters the optimum solution now is a strong pro Brexit Tory leader to finalise the negotiations. May has zero credibility and like it or lump it, the fate of the country is now on her or <insert Tory replacement>'s shoulders.

The majority of Tory MP's are remainers.

Not the fact that the heads of various finance organisations actively think a democratic vote will be overturned?

That isn't concerning at all?

If it goes to a second vote, and that vote is to remain in the EU, should we ignore it?

I didn’t say they expected a democratic vote to be overturned or ignored. I said they don’t expect it to happen. They are not necessarily the same thing.

That seems fairly backwards. The EU can happily absorb the impact of a No Deal Brexit. Indeed, you'd imagine the other financial centres in Europe would be fairly happy at their growth potential once the City of London begins it's exodus.

The EU would rather maintain access to as wide a market as possible, hence it's negotiated a deal that does so for itself, but it has no reason to concede anything to the UK.  If the choice was between allowing the UK carte blanche over EU freedoms and losing the UK market through a no deal, then its the latter every day of the week.

Right.  And of course, from a UK point of view, No Deal is absolutely insane.

Not if it's overturned by another democratic vote.

How about 20 million to 17million  'remain'. That would do. 

Democracy didn't stop in 2016.  Although it feels lke it.

You know that scene in deadpool when he's at the bar and the bar tender guy is saying various things he looks like?

Then in deadpool 2 they do the same thing and you're sitting there like, "this again? It was mildly amusing the first time...."

Just putting that out there.

I'll take that as a yes.

Who runs the EU? Let's be honest with this if nothing else. Germany.

We are the biggest importer of German goods in the EU. A WTO trade rule with no deal would hurt the German economy as much as it would the UK. It would result in massive job losses within Germany and for that reason, it wouldn t be allowed to happen on the EU side.

We are a net contributer, 1 of only 3. The EU can't just absorb our departure, that's the point. All the talk about houses of cards in this thread and everyone misses the biggest one in Brussels. We leave and it's one of the 3 foundations gone, and you wonder why they have been so vociferous in their rhetoric? You wonder why the option of revoking article 50 was casually offered by the EU last week? 

Sounds like this is going to be the easiest negotiation in history. Right?
