The irony is most immigrants come from outside the EU, therefore the 'problem' still won't be solved. Although I am for free movement and will be saddened if it ends

No point in voting if all they do for each idea is yes or no as all of them will be voted down. They refuse to have something like a single transferral vote as they are so wedded to first past the post, they will not give a hostage to fortune if they were to use a variation of proportional representation amongst themselves.

Lets face it...

Re: the votes last night. A lot of the MPs are still playing chess moves thinking they can manoeuvre the decision to their preferred outcome - a lot of the new referendum supporters abstained or voted against the soft Brexit options.

It's far too late for that, and they should be trying to compromise.

If it hadn't been for the 55% we'd be going through the same type of psycho-drama as Brexit, probably worse.

It's annoying how no-one points this out when the SNP preach about current matters.

They didn't get what they wanted in 2014 so didn't have to take ownership of the result. Brexiters won in 2016 so have to own that result. That's the difference.

But it has to include her deal that's been rejected over and over again.

[18:12

PM makes offer to Jeremy Corbyn to help 'break the logjam'
May adds: "Today I am taking action to break the logjam."
She says she is "offering to sit down with the Leader of the Opposition"
to work together on a Brexit plan.
But, the PM warns "any plan will have to agree the current withdrawal
agreement", as that is the only one that has been negotiated with the EU.
May continues: "What we need to focus on is our future relationship with the EU."
She says, both she and Jeremy Corbyn need to agree a plan that can be put
to the House of Commons for approval.
If they can't agree a plan, the government will then propose a
series of options for MPs to vote on.
The PM says: "The government stands ready to abide by the position of the House."
If MPs decide on an option, the PM will then bring forward legislation
to implement the withdrawal agreement.
She says this will need to be passed before 22 May so the UK need
not take part in European Parliament elections.]

The Slim Reaper · 02-04-2019, 05:16 PM

She hasn't given a crap about any other party through this whole thing and has refused to give an inch but now says that labour must give her what she wants under the guise of cooperation.

reece(: · 02-04-2019, 05:17 PM

So May is wanting another short extension and asking the opposition to compromise with her on an agreement
