It was a statement not an argument.

Just been having a chat with some Remainers on Twitter.

Obviously everything I said was wrong. laugh But they said they would expect the EU to reform in time. Fair point and I would like to agree, but I don't think it ever will.

So I posed the question

"As a Remainer, what would you like to see the EU reform to entice the UK to stay?"

If they binned off FoM and reduced the ECJ jurisdiction here. Reduced the UKs contribution, Took away (or severely capped) all the money it gives to half the EU27. How can Poland be getting so much??? I could imagine a second "are you sure you want to leave now the EU has binned X, Y and Z" referendum


SIlence was the stern reply! biggrin

So I thought I'd ask on here. Remainers, (not the REMOANER type since you think nothing is wrong) How can the EU win back the UK? What would it take?

Anybody see Verhofstadt on Andrew Marr on Sunday,
The clip is 12 minutes long.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05ykmkv

Interestingly at the end he indicated that if there was no deal, he thought that there would possibly be a change of government in the UK and a reversal of Brexit.
Maybe that's the direction the EU is heading, a bad deal in the hope of a reversal.

No deal should absolutely mean a change of government considering it would confirm the current one is totally inept.

Who wouldnt want to kick them out?

My point was it takes two to make a deal, if the EU take the point that there best bet to keep us in is no deal, which is what he indicated , how can any government get a deal that is acceptable?

Just remember though, despite the constant noises from remainer backing media and politicians about reversing the referendum, it is May's fault if she cannot negotiate a good deal.

If they come back with a deal (along the lines of what is currently expected) and it is rejected by parliament then there should be fresh elections, with any MPs who voted against the deal expelled from the party. Better Corybn as Prime Minister than the Tories betraying the people.

I think that is a distinct possibility.

Whether the deal is bad or not for this reason is another matter - the deal will be what it is anyway. It will be the best the brexiteers can do by definition.

The trigger could be the HoP rejecting May/Davis deal - with brexiteers sacked on mass. New Govt, massive power struggles. Hopefully won't mean Corbyn.

I think everyone is going to be dissapointed, including those who want to remain.

The whole thing is a mess.

Are you seriously disputing that the EU wishes us harm?

Whilst the MPs will talk a lot and no doubt some will decide to vote against whatever deal is agreed upon, I can't see it being rejected by Parliament.

In England, where most of the Labour and Tory MPs come from, it was Leave 53.4% vs 46.6%. Wales came in about average at 52.5% vs 47.5%. The only reason it got to 52/48 was down to Scotland & NI, neither of which are big on Tory MPs.

But if they did vote it down then yes, I think we would have Corbyn in #10, maybe in coalition with the SNP. Now that is something to look forward to. wink
