Would no deal now really be worse than the alternative?

[Bearbehind]

From what I’ve seen, even if the revised WA passes, we have a GE resulting in a Tory government and chances are we’ll end up with no deal in 2 years.

Only then we’ll have had 2 more years of slowly eroding the economy and investment.

I’m not for a second underestimating how bad no deal will be but at least we get to deal with the repercussions straight away.

How would it be better going through the same thing in 2 years, only starting from a lower baseline?

Or can no deal really be avoided?

I don't care whether they take the deal, no deal, or revoke A50. Just do something. This is killing our economy and fracturing our society.

I'm not sure what you are saying. If the WA is passed and afterwards we have a GE resulting in a Tory Govt then are you saying we won't be able to secure the actual trade bill in 2 years?

Pretty much, yes, because there will be people who won’t be happy with what is possible in practice so we won’t actually be able to agree a deal.

I couldn't care less about Tony Blair but I'm glad I did take the 4 mins of my life yesterday to watch a video of him analysing this deal. He said

“ You don’t take a decision of destiny through a spasm of impatience.”

I think this is important. The Brexit deal should be given the time it deserves to be properly scrutinised. All this rushing is why we are where we are now.

I don't think we can be accused of rushing, it's been over three years. Procrastinating and making a mess of it but the reason we're rushing is not because of lack of time

Of course no deal is worse than a deal or staying in which would be the best scenario. Have you not understood the consequences of no deal? Or what it actually means for our population?

Yes of course I have bubbles but do you honestly think months / years more of this shit show, possibly followed by no deal anyway, is better?

All this rushing is why we are where we are now.

It's not all been rushing though. Even in this last six-month extension there's been long periods of doing fuck all. Long summer holidays. Then last minute panic (again). It is SO FUCKING PREDICTABLE, I'm starting to feel like I've gone insane and imagined the whole thing.
