To have no idea what is going on with Brexit

[PJLove80]

Please can anyone explain tonight’s votes to me in an idiots guide - I am increasingly lost with what’s going on

And just to add, the situation she finds herself in is entirely 100% of her own making!

So, once again, the prosperity of the nation is being held hostage by a bunch of wealthy fanatics who are looking to profit from Brexit chaos and loosened regulation.

And some of the public are eating it up and believing it

Um many remainers didn’t believe the lies and knew the fairy tales could never happen. Part of the reason many of us voted to remain. Leavers fell hook line and sinker for the bullshit spouted, had no clear plan, sodded off and are now bickering amongst themselves as they don’t know what they want or how to get it. If it wasn’t hurting us all it would be hysterical to watch.

Let us know when you have a plan and know what you want.

I don't understand all the panic.

It's obvious what will happen.

About five minutes before the ugly lights come on, parliment WILL vote to accept Mayhem's deal.

Alot of people will be pissed off. But that is irrelevant because people in the UK, im 2019, don't get involved in mass protest. There won't be any marches to House, or riots in the streets (the government knows this). There will be a few strongly worded emails, a few thousand angry posts on Mumsnet, some awkward press conferences. That's it. A few day's later people will move on to feeling outraged about Megan's latest Royal fuck up.

The UK isn't leaving the EU, not in any real sense and not anytime in the next twenty years or so. Nothing will change on the 29th. It will be like the Millennium bug.

No need to panic buy, or panic in any way really.

It's the culmination of 2.5 years of posturing by the UK government with their red lines that weren't compatible with any kind of reasonable exit deal, especially regarding Northern Ireland. What should have happened was an that TM set up a cross-party committee to look into all the options for leaving the EU, especially reflecting the narrowness of the vote.

Now there is barely a month left and the options are as follows:

1. Continue fannying about and crash out with no transition - economic disaster
2. Parliament votes through the Withdrawal Agreement at the last minute, although there are question marks over having time to pass all the legislation. 3)Ask the EU for an extension, which would only be agreed if there was a significant change of direction.
3. Revoke Article 50

I think the WA will get through at the last minute, although it will leave us all similarly baffled for another two years.

I agree Confusedfornow.
The only thing that concerns me is it will push more people to support far right groups.

I agree, it is very simple, TM has been putting party before country since the day she became PM.
Given the even divide in the parties and country she should have been seeking compromise from the beginning. She chose one side and ignored the other.
Hence the divide is still there - reinforced.

I think the problem is Brexit itself. The election were promised the impossible and suprise, surprise, parliament can't deliver the impossible.

Whilst the politicians scrabble around, here’s what’s happening in the real world: small businesses are losing contracts that would usually be agreed easily with large companies with U.K. offices because they don’t like uncertainty. Larger companies are freezing projects because of the risk of a financial crash caused by Brexit.
As a direct result there will be fewer offers of employment from small companies like mine. We were due to take on a full time employee and an apprentice this summer, both have been postponed. Still though I’m based in a leave area so the loss of local jobs is chickens coming home to roost really.

Hello Theresa

Normal Mumsnet stance is it is Jeremy Corbyns fault.
