    Is it? They’ve looked remarkably consistent from here.

    Anyone can look constant when the opposing team is continually handicapped from within.

    If you keep shouting that Georges Santos is better than Franz Beckenbauer before the match and the other team and everyone but your most fanatical supporters know he’s really just Georges Santos, you have no one to blame when he goes out and plays like Georges Santos.

    I agree the remain argument is flawed.
    I’m actually all chilled with this Brexit thing now. A bit of time off here helps. This is like Groundhog Day. :)
    Hopefully Boris will get the deal done and we can move on.

    Yeah but first we must honour the referendum result and leave. After that they can all fight each other.

    I can see another referendum happening. Now that would really be fun.

    I will say 2 things about that.
    Firstly there is no appetite for another one especially when you haven’t honoured the first.
    Secondly and most importantly if the question didn’t split the leave vote and it was a straight leave v Remain then I would bet my last penny that leave would win with a bigger majority. Thankfully there are still honest, democratic voters like my mate who voted Remain but would find another referendum unfair.
    However if you think another one would be fun then each to their own. Personally the best way forward is Boris to get a deal.

    If Johnson gets a deal, he will need opposition support to get it through parliament. I think this will only be forthcoming if a referendum is attached to it. There's nothing undemocratic about asking the public if they still want to go ahead.

    He will get enough support from Labour to get it through without that referendum threat. Which is pointless.
    80+% people want this done. MPs are finally starting to work that out. Why would they want a divisive referendum? It won’t happen. That came from a Labour remain MP. You are sounding like you want Brexit to go on and on? Don’t be one of those fanatics because you will be disappointed.
    You need to move on Stroller. I have had to adapt and compromise. I always wanted a clean break but have accepted that business wants a deal.

    Apparently, 73.4% of us pluck numbers out of our arses on a regular basis.

    He won't get any support from Labour if he wants to go down the deregulation route. I hope he gets a deal, because it will provoke a further referendum. Then we can have a GE without Brexit.

    Well you like maths. :)
    The 80% was the Comres poll. So blame them
    And
    The parliamentary numbers were from Stephan Kinnock who is part of the cross party mob. he said only this week that there were plenty of Labour MPs who wanted a deal. Not surprising when 120 of them are in Leave constituencies. And more importantly would support it.
    We should all want this to work so we can all move on.

    Bloody hell Stroller you are still clutching at straws. They won’t vote for another referendum because 120 Labour seats will be worried about the Brexit party.
    The funniest thing is that Cummings and Boris have played a game changing move.
    All the remainers have left is a ‘losers vote’ which won’t happen. It’s a fanatical last stand.
    Once Boris gets a deal it kills off Labour/limp Dims/Brexit party in one go and he will get a majority at the next election.

    You're not paying attention as usual Ellers. The referendum would happen before a GE, so the Brexit party is irrelevant. Either Remain would have won, or we'd be out. The GE would then be about domestic issues.

    I think you are not llistening Stroller. Are you saying Jezza would u turn on his pledge of GE after that 31st date? He would get hammered in a GE if he did. Plus tbh he wants out of the EU more than me. He won’t support a referendum. It’s all political tricks.
    It makes me laugh that you think remain would be on anything? Other than the fanatics the MPs want this sorted. You need to stop listening to Chukka.
