Best hope for Brexit resolution
The best chance of coming out of this disaster
is for the Labour Party to get a new pro-EU leader and form an alliance with Cameron tories and with the SNP, to give a majority in Parliament. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin |

That won't happen we in this country are incapable of agreeing on anything.
I have to say, the EU are in fact not being mean, just careful not to suggest things that might fall through at the last moment cos if they did, then the markets would go bonkers again and throw their toys out of the pram, so its care and diplomacy until we have a functioning government and hopefully opposition as well. I see Millipede has been shooting is mouth off again attempting to be conciliatory but sounding patronising instead. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

Best hope for Brexit resolution
I did wonder myself. The obvious problem is that the people did not answer
the question using the same parameters that the mps used, they responded to everything they hate about the eu whether it was their fault or not and punished, as they thought the politians, shooting the rest of us and themselves in the foot at the same time. I can really understand why there is bitterness all around as we aare coming out not for the right reasons. Boris was mostly talking about the right things but people listened to Nigel and other emotive scare mongering and fell for it hook line and sinker. Who knows it might be alright, only time will tell, but i certainly do not want to be part of fortress britain myslef. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

Timothy Murphy wrote
The best chance of coming out of this disaster It is nothing even remotely like a disaster. is for the Labour Party to get a new pro-EU leader Labour is completely irrelevant politically now. and form an alliance with Cameron tories Cameron has made it clear that he believes that the will of the people has to be recognised. and with the SNP, to give a majority in Parliament. If they were actually stupid enough to ignore the referendum result that way, even the most stupid politician knows what the result would be. The voters would **** them over very comprehensively indeed and flush them where they belong politically. And that would absolutely guarantee a number of UKIP MP would get elected to Westminster and even Labour isnt actually stupid enough to do that deliberately. The voters have spoken, You and your ilk get to like that or lump it. The best you can hope for is that Boris will actually be stupid enough to agree to the EU demands to agree to the free movement of EU citizens into Britain, to continue to pay what Britain currently pays the EU, and to continue to allow the EU to determine policy in Britain to get a free trade agreement with the EU. IMO Boris isnt actually that stupid and if he was, that would guarantee a political future for UKIP who would campaign to pull the plug on that agreement. Of course they would have a hell of a problem funding UKIP with no MEPs, but IMO that wouldn't see the demise of UKIP and it might well see them get enough MPs in Westminster to see the plug pulled on that new agreement. |

Irrelevant to whether your hare brained scheme would see any difference in what the majority of MPs what to see happen. Referendums have no place in the UK constitution. Neither does local govt. It happens anyway. Neither do the EU, Britain is part of that for the moment anyway. If as you say pro-EU members are in a large majority then they should vote in accordance with their beliefs. They arent actually that stupid when they know what the voters would do to them if they did that after that referendum result. |

And the voters will punish anyone actually stupid enough to ignore a clear referendum result like this one very severely indeed. And that isnt an opinion, the referendum result is a fact. It's easy to see why you lot had a full civil war so recently. |
