    Not a lie...already discussed in this thread. £17 billion gross sent to EU a year. Net £10 billion.

    I don't think we proposed this. More likely the Irish.

    We could accept a time limited backstop but the EU refuses.

    350million a week is over 18 billion, not net 10 billion. So a huge lie. Even the 17 billion is a lie.

    It's like telling "I bought a 300K car" but you paid net 250K.

    Correction: Labour wants a second referendum but asked his members not to vote yes as according to Labour the timing is nog good. It is not excluded that later on there will be voted again for a second referendum. So it is not clear if there will ever be a new referendum or not.

  6. After Today, Brexit is very much alive... I for sure thought the Second Referendum motion was gonna go through and EU accept extension for another vote

    EU will likely not accept any delay past July 1st, only way they would of is a Second Referendum

    My bet is on leaving the EU on the 29th March.

    I'm a big believer in democracy. I don't know the political system of your country, whether you have democracy or not, but democracy is what we have here.

    So I'm more than happy to have a second referendum. Once the result of the first one has been implemented, of course. After we have left the EU, we can of course have another vote on whether we should rejoin, maybe in a few years time. I doubt if there will be much of an EU left by then, but who knows.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Empire

    By 1913, the British Empire held sway over 412 million people, 23% of the world population at the time, and by 1920, it covered 35,500,000 km2 (13,700,000 sq mi), 24% of the Earth's total land area.

    In merely 1 century time this "empire" was reduced:
    • 35,500,000 km2 became 242,495 km2, so 99% of the "empire" got lost.
    • sway over 412 million people became 66 million, so 84% of the "empire" got lost. In 1913 they had 23% of the world population, today they have less then 1%, so the real loss is even bigger.
    The "empire" became a dwarf, and the British still think they rule the world. We will see what will be left over from the UK. But past evolution does not indicate any good for the future.
    This Brexit became a never ending soap.
    The UK democracy is not working as the politicians can even not execute the referendum. A lot of things are strange in the UK, British democracy seems strange too.

    So again, what is the magic in implementing the first referendum before doing a second? What makes that inherently "democratic" (of the type of "democracy you have there", which yes, is different than the kind of democracy we have here in the U.S. which also isn't perfect) while voting for it before implementing it, no matter what the current feeling about it, is anti-democratic? Are you seriously saying that if, for example, 90% of the folks in the UK today wanted to cancel Brexit the "democratic" thing to do is to go forward with Brexit? (That is absolutely what you're saying, by the way).
