I can't call it. Just a week ago I though revoke was looking more likely, now no deal looking more likely. I finally think public and parliamentary mood might be changing but will it be too little too late?

I'm almost ready to accept WA, if only because of what it's all doing to my anxiety, but not quite. I'm remain/revoke until injury time, as long as the option remains available.

Frumpety - mulled wine at 8am?? Hard core!!!

1tisILeClerc · 19/12/2018 08:42

Just think how bad things would get if something important was happening. The UK is only trying to leave a friendly 'club' that it has been heavily involved in for 40+ years but it needs to stay friends. If some foreign power to be invading what would happen?

Satsumaeater · 19/12/2018 12:02

My views change with Parliament's volatility

Yes. And that so shouldn't be the case!

"Mitigated" No deal: so no WA, no transition period, but rather a bunch of hastily arranged temporary arrangements & agreements that will allow the airplanes to keep flying, medicines arriving & goods lorries to only have 2 minute delays each. Bitter wrangling about UK paying for long-standing commitments until the £39bn is finally coughed up after all.

Also military deployed to manage logistics of all the huge backlogs of lorries delayed at ports. Might be some kind of facilitated movement of lots (more than now) lorries thru other ports that have capacity like Harwich, folkestone. Realistic prospect of ROI pursuing UK govt for GFA violations thru whatever recourse ROI has, about hard border in Ireland.

I predicted all this > 1 yr ago as the most likely outcome, not happy it seems to be coming true.

If no FTA in place by late 2021 then Nissan & other manuf'rs will en masse depart/decline to upgrade/not future invest.

2nd most likely situation: revocation of A50 in mid March with promises to come up with a full plan before invoking A50 again. This will mean nasty possibly somewhat violent/anti-social public protests. And no real Brexit for at least 4 yrs. That would happen after asking about A50 extension period, but EU will point at MEP elections due in May, & revoking A50 will be seen as lesser evil.

I hope brexiteer politicians and voters will be held to account for what they have done and the young people of this country never forgive them. I suspect poor people will get the blame for Brexit , politicians will point at the voters and say 'will of the people' we had no choice and the people will point at the poor (whether they voted Leave or not) and blame them. All the very comfortably off, little to lose, leave voters (of which there are many) will get away scott free. Hopefully their family and friends will know what they have done though.

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

tomhazard · 20/12/2018 06:48

Some version of TMs deal. I wish it would be revoke but I think it's getting too late for that

Redskyandrainbows67 · 20/12/2018 06:52

Revoke - we can do that at any point before exit day just by a vote of mps

There’ll be no extension. The Eu will not agree.

Ta1kinpeace · 20/12/2018 20:48

I fear no deal

if a couple of gits and £1000 worth of drones can bring Sussex to a standstill
just imagine the chaos at the end of March

GirlsBlouse17 · 20/12/2018 21:33

With Theresa May in power, No Deal

Obsidian77 · 20/12/2018 21:35

No deal

QuinionsRainbow · 20/12/2018 21:36

An invasion of unicons.

QuinionsRainbow · 20/12/2018 21:37

Sorry, should have been unicorns - but maybe we will have been conned anyway.

ThereWillBeAdequateFood · 23/12/2018 09:18

You were closer with unicons Grin

I have no idea. Maybe an extension, a referendum. Remain wins and TM revokes article 50?

I really hope it’s TMs WA or Remain (preferably Remain). But goodness only knows - I’m adding to my prep pile today.

Quietrebel · 23/12/2018 09:25

Problem is both parties have been highjacked by extremes. TM is ready to go no deal, and JC is hoping for no deal as has become quite clear. Hard to see how the people indeed this time can make themselves heard.

Redskyandrainbows67 · 23/12/2018 09:32

Everyone should write to their mp and urge parliament to revoke article 50

Redskyandrainbows67 · 23/12/2018 09:33

It would cause a terrible feeling in society but much much better than no deal or a bad deal

PenguinPandas · 23/12/2018 09:36

No deal

Buttercupsandaisies · 23/12/2018 09:42

Why do people think they'll be a lather referendum of any kind - both TM and JC have ruled it out haven't they? So it's only really TM deal or no deal. We will be leaving either way as I understand?

Redskyandrainbows67 · 23/12/2018 09:44

There’s not time for another referendum

But parliament can revoke article 50 just by a vote and get us out of this mess.

Buttercupsandaisies · 23/12/2018 09:46

Haven't both TM and HC both said they intend to leave though?

Redskyandrainbows67 · 23/12/2018 10:00

They are only two mps - the rest of them can vote us to remain.

Redskyandrainbows67 · 23/12/2018 10:00

We don’t live in a dictatorship. Any mp can table a motion and parliament support it.

AlphaJuno · 23/12/2018 10:01

What I want - revoke as unworkable/impossible due to the Ireland issue.

What I think - no deal sadly.
