Yeah another fooking politics thread, but let's sort this out once and for all, getting voting!
 
Why have a remain in the EU option?
We are out, come March, deal or no deal.
Article 50 cannot be reversed.
We would have to reapply for membership and get a unanimous Yes vote from ALL the member states, which definitely would not happen, and would lead to riots in the UK.

That legal position re revoking article 50 is at present before the ECJ so until their decision is given no one is 100% sure. Most opinion seems to be it could be revoked but since no details regarding this were included in the Lisbon treaty no one knows the mechanism nor if it could be done unilaterally.
Personal view is that is a red herring as no Govt would risk taking that action without holding a 2nd referendum and there isn't time for that.

yeah, I mean anyone, at this stage, holding any kind of hope for a reversal and the UK staying in the EU, is in ****ing La La Land.
We are going, in 4 months, the only question is do we go with or without an exit deal.
And it is looking increasingly like we wont. And I am not entirely unhappy with that if I am honest, despite some of the fallout.

How do you see yourself benefitting from that, Bod?
 
Which would be a good thing?
oh **** yeah, a bunch of bureaucratic, money grubbing business owners who seek to take every single public service in Europe and replace them with their privately paid lackeys, so they can siphon money from a whole continent, and if one country is ruined in the process, thats okay, we'll just take money from all the other governments to make up the shortfall whilst we suckle on the teat and do zero work.....What could be bad about that? But hey. a small price to pay for free movement and cheap Erdnub Locken, right?

The Germans failed twice, militarily, to take over Europe, this is their third, more subtle, attempt.
