The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

[aaron1867]

Today's absolute nothing news on the backstop just confirms that we are either not going to leave the EU at all or need a second vote to get it over the bloody line or to stop it.

Nothing has changed on the backstop and it won't in the future. I also think that looking at both May & Junker's body language, this is genuinely the end of the line. Therefore meaning that if we opt to extend, that we can't extend for more talks, but instead something more significant in a GE or 2nd vote. It's pretty clear that ore talks aren't going to go anywhere.

I know I have banged on about the second vote, but it's the only way to get it across the line. Take it out of MP's hands and make sure it doesn't have to be confirmed by the 650 MP's. That vote should either be Deal v Remain or No Deal v Remain.

If this isn't going to happen, however undemocratic you think it is, then we are going to be here forever, whilst stuck in the EU!

should be two parts

Part A:

LEAVE vs REMAIN

Part B:

If number of leave votes are greater than remain;

DEAL vs NO DEAL

Do we know what 'the deal' is before we blindly vote yes/no to it?

DUP/ERG are looking for a climb down and to move forward. This is their chance,...big last chance. As long as Cox says its legally blinding.......then we have a deal that gets through. Better than 50/50 for me this morning,

That's not how it works. Whatever a referendum result might be MPs will still have to vote to pass whatever legislation through parliament.

I hope they vote it through tonight just so we don't have to listen to Aaron's 2nd vote campaign anymore!

The independent information from legal minds seem to suggest he won't be able to advise anything of the sort.  This is a very good summary.
