It'll be hysterical if we get a soft brexit, the people got what they voted for

I think you have to admire her backbone for getting some sort of agreement but I can't say I am happy with May's version of Brexit. I think the voters are being shafted by the pro remain camp.

I don't think she will be challenged because I don't think any of the other contenders really want to be the PM remembered for the Brexit deal. She's a scapegoat either way.

I think the EU may bite her hand off in eagerness for this deal. Merkel has enough trouble at home and will want to get Brexit quietly done.

That's silly.

The Leave voters are being shafted for voting for a wish washy Tory government with a habit of flip flopping on issues. When May took power, she said she wouldn't call an election but she did, she said she was going to push for a hard brexit and it looks like she's settled for a soft deal instead. People ignored how weak her government was in favour of buying her bull****.

I hope that they aren't likely to get the deal they want serves as a lesson for leaver voters to be more informed when it comes to voting in elections. Not that I expect them to break a habit of a lifetime though, there's always someone else to blame after all.

I wouldn't know, I didn't vote for the current government. But thanks for calling me names, I'm sure it's always a pleasure.

I don't need a lesson and was fully informed thank you. Perhaps you should take on board your own lectures and learn a little.

Can you point out to me where I called you any names? I've looked over my posts yet I can't see a single example of namecalling?

I don't understand why you're being so hostile tbh.

We will get most of what we wanted and the most important to many. You always ask for more and meet in the middle. Maybe you need to be more informed about compromise.

Always remember that we made the choice of not only leaving the EU but deciding who would oversee it with the election.

With so many differences of opinion within political parties and across the population, there could only ever be a compromise solution. Voting leave didn't dictate any terms of us leaving, and no matter what we do, we still have to trade with other countries and agree common rules for that trade. Leaving the EU doesn't change that, we still need agreements if we wish to trade.

It will take decades for the post EU framework to develop and diverge from the EU norms, and that's how it should be.

Not had much good to say about May but a compromised Brexit deal tries better to take into account the 100% to unite, not just fragments of the 52%

As long as we get to rule ourselves I am quite happy.
We should be able to control border movement better.
Who knows where we will end up with trade deals, it's not just up to us.
Hopefully the EU will be up for compromise as well.
