It's hard for me to pick but I'm going for TM's deal, pushed through under the threat of no deal.

Fluid situation ...

Right now I'm going for May's deal, via a combination of party loyalty from the Tory remainers and the DUP/ ERG fearing that the alternative is A50 being revoked.

IPityMaleEnvy · 18/12/2018 15:09

May's deal is most likely.

Accidental No deal and mild British civil war at the supermarket and chemists, if politicians let us all down with their selfish ways.

averylongtimeago · 18/12/2018 15:12

I am going to wake up as my husband walks out of the shower and find it was all a bad dream.

Or more likely wake up to no deal because of our incompetent, selfish and corrupt politicians.

Revoke

Parliament will vote for May’s deal in January.
Country will have a vote between May’s deal and staying in EU.
Remain will win.

TM Withdrawal Agreement.

Satsumaeater · 18/12/2018 16:08

I really don't know. I could see all three happening (not at once!) but I can see scenarios where all could happen.

What do I want: revoke

What could I live with: TM's deal

What do I fear: no deal

Inniu · 18/12/2018 16:17

None of the above. It will be an agreement to extend the deadline

1tisILeClerc · 18/12/2018 16:18

What will extending a deadline do, they have no clue now, after 2 1/2 years so there is no point in extending. What is needed is a DECISIVE plan of action NOW and then follow it.

ChristmasTwatteryDoesMyHeadIn · 18/12/2018 16:20

Satsumaeater neatly summed up my feelings on the matter.

CmdrIvanova · 18/12/2018 16:20

It's like shag/marry/avoid, isn't it.

Shag withdrawal deal, marry Revoke (and love it forever and ever and ever), avoid No Deal like a smelly drunk man spreader on the last train home.

redfruitgum · 18/12/2018 16:23

I think her deal will get defeated in parliament and parliament will bring another referendum

KennDodd · 18/12/2018 16:24

Rioting.

ChristmasTwatteryDoesMyHeadIn · 18/12/2018 16:25

I worry about rioting. Given the fragile status quo, cuts, whole sections of society being sidelined and oppressed, and poverty worsening by the day, history tells us it won’t end well.

TokyoSushi · 18/12/2018 16:27

A deal of sorts. Not TM's deal as it currently is but some sort of deal to avoid no deal.

MrsTerryPratcett · 18/12/2018 16:28

Hope for the best: wake up and it was all a dream.

Plan for the worst: no deal.

1tisILeClerc · 18/12/2018 16:29

CmdrIvanova
Except it is worse that that. The UK has been doing it's utmost to piss off the very people it is going to depend on for future trade by having refused to come up with a remotely workable plan (Chequers was ridiculous) and deliberately damaging companies that have manufacturing facilities in the UK.

1tisILeClerc · 18/12/2018 16:36

The only thing that is important is that the UK prime minister appears in Brussels on 29 March with a bit of paper saying it wants to either revoke A50, continue with the ONLY withdrawal plan (WA) or simply (!) wants to crash out with no defined deal.
The EU don't care how the UK gets to this choice.

HateIsNotGood · 18/12/2018 19:33

Don't know. Does anyone really?

frumpety · 18/12/2018 20:50

Well I hope that the Labour Party wake up to the fact that huggy inclusive liberals that they portray themselves to be, they still haven't had a woman as their leader, unlike the Conservative Party who are anything but huggy, inclusive liberals, who have managed to have two and both have become PM. Lets say that out loud, the only two female prime ministers have been Conservative.

So I hope that over the fextive period, the Labour party has a bit of a think and puts one of the many, clever, articulate and sincere women candidates up for leader.

She will then give the country an absolutely honest summary of where we are and where we are going. She will put country before party, and we will all live happily ever after.

Then I will wake up Sad

DarienGap · 18/12/2018 21:34

No deal

DarienGap · 18/12/2018 21:35

Sorry posted too soon.
I think it'll be a no deal.
Time to start stocking up...

xebobfromUS · 18/12/2018 21:50

Well right now the qualities of rationality, flexibility, and practicality need to prevail. Having watched Theresa May in the House of Commons, I see nothing but stubbornness, emotionality, inflexibility, etc prevailing from people on all sides.

Perhaps a big problem is the nature of the design of the HOC itself. As someone else said, it was designed to be cramped with opposing parties facing each other creating confrontation and emotion.

That might be fine in normal, calm times but it is hardly conducive to negotiation, collaboration, and compromise in a time of a national crisis when feelings and positions are already at a fever pitch.

What should happen now is for the vote to go ahead for the WA ( and most likely get shot down ) so that momentum can build for a different arrangement that will prevent the U.K. from a no-deal crash out.

Do I think this is going to happen? No. On it's current path, right before and on March 29 I see nothing but chaos, anger, very heated exchanges, and utter confusion.

lonelyplanetmum · 19/12/2018 07:20

TM's deal, pushed through under the threat of no deal.

But yesterday I thought no deal was most likely. My views change with Parliament's volatility.

It.should.not.be.like.this.

A change of this enormity should have more clarity and consensus.

As there isn't more certainty we should revoke, until such time as there is. A time may come when the trading arrangements in Europe are different, we can review our position then- perhaps when others do. This 'must be at the front' of an imaginary queue to Leave ,and do it now, is beyond absurd.

frumpety · 19/12/2018 08:00

Sorry about last post, a teensy bit too much of the mulled wine Xmas Grin]

I honestly don't see Brexit happening in any shape or form, just not getting the mood in the room for it. Public opinion is swinging too far away from it now.
