Pener Kropoopkin posted:Going back to this. I'm not sure how it logically follows that just because the legislative work hasn't been done to make Brexit law, that necessarily means it's "cancelled." If the deadline for Brexit comes and there's no deal, then the EU shuts its doors. Lots of people are in serious denial that anybody but parliament and/or the hag queen could possibly have their own say in the matter. Not to mention that like 25 percent think No Deal means Remain.

Fallen Hamprince posted:the "no deal is a trojan horse to privatize everything" theory significantly underestimates how disastrous no deal will be to almost every facet of the british economy and to the electoral fortunes of the party responsible, imo It makes more sense if you differentiate between the political party responsible as its own entity and the people acting within that party. The long-term interests of the former do not need to align with the individual interests of the latter, if the latter just want to cash out. (Similar to how certain private equity firms can act when looking towards divestment of a company.)

It's is not an amendment to the deal. It is a rejection of the current deal that acts as a counter-offer. I'm not sure the MPs grasp the difference.

marktheando posted:It’s going to be no deal isn’t it. Clean Deal Brexit seems to be what businesses and other countries seem to prepare for as the most likely case now, while at the end of last year they still, probably unreasonably, assumed a withdrawal agreement and transition phase could be reached prior to 29 March 2019. And at least anecdotally the briefings at my employer (big4 tax services) now base everything around Clean Deal Brexit.

Hentai Jihadist posted:ah gently caress, if theyr rebranding no deal brexit to sound good we're totally hosed Nah, I think they stopped using that term already. My guess is that they prefer the ambiguity of "No deal" (i.e. some people thinking that it means nothing changes) to the more understandable and less spinnable "Clean Break Brexit".

One thing that a hard brexit hopefully clarifies for the few remaining lexiters: A lot of poo poo that you blame on the EU (i.e. austerity, labour law situations, state aid) isn't actually an EU issue but an issue of the UK's very own kind of conservative bullshit. Which should have been blindingly obvious even before Brexit, because somehow a lot of the stuff that gets blamed on the EU isn't a thing in the other Member States.

It's pretty reassuring for a hard Brexit that May can't be contested intra-party until quite a while after Brexit, so it is unlikely that the Tories can change course.

To somebody more familiar with UK parliamentary procedure, would it theoretically have been possible for May to tie the deal to a VONC in a way that refusing the deal would at the same time constitute a VONC?
