Democracy is alive and well in this developed nation. "The Thick of It" really did get it bang on the head.
Suppose it's not really the first time. It's likely the first time they've been caught.

If I read his analysis right, this could effectively give parliament the vote to overrule anything in the agreement, particularly "no deal". Not only is that sensible, it would drive SRK potty. Win-win |

I can't see us leaving sadly, any type of leaving. Theres enough going on to tackle leave in many directions. The can will be kicked down the road and the EU will screw us over. The only real card we had to play was no deal and we didn't play it and now we can't really. The Tories have spectacularly fucked up time and time again from Cameron asking the EU for fuck all and getting less to Mays current pile of shit. |

yeah and you'll be happy in living in a country which doesn't respect the will of a majority. Welcome to our new banana republic. |

Billions. Plus a fuck-ton of political clout in Europe (and elsewhere) |

People knew what they were voting for, the Government to implement Brexit. And that's what they are doing. Bit late to complain that the sovereignty you crave is now not doing what you want. And besides, if Boris, Gove and JRM had any balls after Cameron fucked off it may have been different. But they didn't. You voted for it, suck it up like the rest of us. |

The people who believe they are 'winning' at any given point start gloating.
The people who believe they are 'losing' at any given point start whining.
Unfortunately we're all losing all the way through this sorry mess.

There is an accounting term, opportunity cost, defined as a benefit, profit, or value of something that must be given up to acquire or achieve something else. It's very apt here. The opportunity cost of Brexit is collosal, because Brexit has swamped everything else. When we look back on the late 2010s in a few years from now, we'll see it as a time of stagnation where very many things stood still or were forgotten. What ever happens next, there is going to be a huge rebuilding job needed at some point.
