To ask if anyone in the country is actually happy with the EU withdrawal agreement?

[Bearbehind]

Is anyone pleased with it?

I am starting to suspect there may be a second referendum if parliament doesn't vote it through, labour could propose it and if parliament votes in its favour then it would get through. I suspect they may do it if the current deal is voted down.

On the other hand, I think possibly this deal may get voted through as let's face it, you can't rely on labour and it's way better than no deal.

Do you think May will be removed? An interim PM appointed?

Better than no deal so yes, I'm happy with it.

The Spectator is a right-wing, pro-Brexit publication. You cannot possibly only read one analysis and decide that it's correct

I'd suggest you're making the mistake of assuming folk believe everything they're told ... the "number on the bus" thing if you like. I'm only too well aware of the Spectator's bias, which is why I was careful to qualify my remarks with "if it's anything like correct"

All that said, because I feel the UK should have a fair deal (rather than a "better" or a punitive one) I'm afraid I still don't think the proposal is anything like acceptable - and FWIW further reading of the actual draft agreement has only added to my conviction

I don't expect everyone to agree of course, but then I guess that's politics for you ...

No, I am not remotely happy with it. Beats me how anyone could be when it is so manifestly worse than the terms of our current membership!

AND it only covers the transition (21 months unless extended) - the text on the future relationship is 7 pages of non-binding guff. All it ensures is we'll spend the next 2 years STILL talking about Brexit, while the country continues to crumble around us.

I hope Parliament kicks it out and votes through an amendment for a second referendum. Unlikely but getting less unlikely by the day. The only good Brexit is no Brexit.

Well of course it is, leaving was always going to leave us worse off.

Personally I don't think Teresa May will be replaced any time soon, I'm even doubtful there will be a leadership contest, she's right when she says changing her isn't going to change our ability to get a better deal, or the parliamentary composition. And I think most MPs know that.
