Frog Act posted:so if the go to plan for no deal is just “let everything in to avoid shortages which would lose us our seats” does that mean it will be way easier to get drugs in post Brexit Britain? after watching that show Top Boy I read a few metropolitan police PDFs about drug smuggling since I was wondering how you get a bunch of coke into an island and it turns out there’s a lot of it and it comes in shipping containers and trucks through the channel tunnel which aren’t gonna be searched anymore? We'll be flooded with cheap, nasty and dangerous poo poo because customs will just be a joke so they move from highly concentrated stuff which is easy to hide to whatever they've got left over after processing, bulked up to make weight.

I'll say this: Brexit has made my London banker counterparts a lot less smug ""Hello ehm this is Jeremy from Luuunnnduunn ehm I wanted to take a look at your diary as ehhm that time doesn't work for Luuuunnduunn." Now: "ehm this is Jeremy ehm yes we will be able to make the midnight our time call."

Hopefully a deal will get done but either no-deal or kicking the can down the road for a few more months look to be the most likely options yes. As to what happens then gently caress Only Knows, we're entering unknown waters and they'll probably be choppy.

How is a deal going to get done? Hasn't parliament already shot down two deals May brought to them? And what would be Europe's motivation for kicking the can down the road instead of making the UK sleep in the bed it's made for itself?

They are saying there might be another vote next week on what is more or less the same deal that got brutally downvoted, but that it should pass this time for some magical reason

But yes we are going to no deal since there isn’t a parliamentary majority for revoking article 50, or for a second referendum, or for Mays deal, or for delaying article 50, or for a soft Brexit. No deal doesn’t require any majority, just requires we do nothing.

Jose posted:thats why she postponed it from before christmas and basically just that we're even closer to the deadline yeah and this is what is causing all the businesses to leave. last year it was clear businesses needed to know by the end of 2018. may could have got a deal approved last year if she had sought a cross party consensus - as is clear corbyn is not anti-brexit, he would have whipped to support the right deal. instead may has played chicken which is loving the UK

I think there's probably a parliamentary majority for delaying article 50 and the EU aren't about to try and stop us doing that either. In terms of getting democratic legitimacy for a second ref delaying leaving until after the EU elections is potentially a good strategy. If the public turn out in higher numbers to vote than last time, and the vote for every other party combined is higher than the vote for whatever the Bannon-united brexity party is, that could be pointed to as quite solid grounds for another referendum.

I think the EU stance on that is they'll allow it if there's reason to believe the delay will lead to an eventual resolution, ie if there was a new government in place but just kicking the can down the road won't do jack poo poo so....

Apparently it's possible to get round that by having the UK just appoint their MEPs. Can't remember where I read that though, so I could be talking out my arse

There are ways to make it happen but they are all a pain in the rear end, UK seats have already been divided now they need to be undivided and MEPs want to campaign, not play 4d chess. Basically as he put it: https://twitter.com/guyverhofstadt/status/1085458645280788482 There is importing UK mess and the question is what's there to gain from it? What will the extension accomplish? May is clearly set on running down the clock whats to stop her from doing the same for a few more months.

See this why people justifiably hate the EU top brass. As though every single issue of 'European' politics isn't demonstrably also an issue of the EU. As Sadiq Khan said at Davos a few years ago, are there many governments in Europe that would feel comfortable calling an EU referendum of their own? Peace is not the same thing as quiet and antagonism is not the same thing as mess, anyone that still supports Macron is a textbook example of that misunderstanding and the entire EU leadership is guilty of that. tarbrush posted:Apparently it's possible to get round that by having the UK just appoint their MEPs. Sekenr posted:No way the EU will let the UK gently caress up their elections, and creating a special waiver to stay but not participate in elections requires approval by all EU parliaments. The EU has already earmarked 800k non-negotiable spending for the UK during the 2019 EU election period. The 2014 UK EU election spending was almost a million quid on the dot so clearly that money has been earmarked on the assumption of the UK engaging in the 2019 EU elections, there's no stated suggestion of what else that money could possibly be being ringfenced for. The EU is materially preparing for the UK to take part in the the EU elections and I don't think that's an inconsistent stance for them to take, knobheads named Verhofstadt notwithstanding.
