Off topic, but do you know why George Soros is flip flopping on the EU? He was initially against it but now he's doing everything he can to keep Brexit from happening

Um, no, nothing like that at all. The referendum was a vote telling the government to do something impossible. To their credit, they tried to do it anyway. They failed, now it's time for the grownups in the room to stop trying to do what the majority of the country clearly doesn't want, a hard Brexit. If you'd done a referendum on if the UK should declare war on Germany the week before they invaded Poland, would you insist Parliament hold to the "will of the people" after Dunkirk? If a referendum in the US on going to war with Japan had been held in August of 1941 you'd insist the US government hold to that on Dec 7th? Reality changes over time, and the reality today is completely different than when the Brexit vote was held, that's undeniable even by the most rabid Brexit fanboy. Again, you're terrified that if the vote goes down on if the people want a hard Brexit that it will lose badly, you're in fact as certain of that as the rest of us in the rest of the world are as evidenced by how much you are against asking them (and refusing to answer the question). And yet you have the hypocrisy to say that the government should continue down a path that clearly the majority no longer want and you will do anything to make sure the people don't get to vote to tell you that, but somehow you're the ones for democracy and representation! Oh, and suspend Parliament just before the biggest issue in decades happens and threaten not to follow the laws they've passed if you don't agree with them....because that represents true democracy. We're certainly a laughingstock here in the US with Trump, but you all are giving him a run for his money with the idiocy!

But the MPs voted 4 to 1 to leave! It's enshrined in law- it's their shit and they are incapable of doing a deal

Because such a deal isn't possible! They'd also be incapable of solving cancer in a year no matter who or how many voted for it! At some point you folks have to realize that just because people voted to set up a fairy castle guarded by unicorns in a leprechaun forest doesn't make what they want possible

It´s OK, to close a deal the Brits are ready to give up the Leprechaun in exchange for Santa´s elves.

Costly mess that dragging Brexit is
