Re: Post-Brexit Thread

The issue about whether to go back to the country on the terms of our leaving is clearly preposterous. It is clear that the EU don't want us to be allowed to scrap free movement AND remain in the common market. Theresa May is committed to getting the best possible deal for Britain. What is there not to like?

I think heero_yuy answers your question for you on behalf of some leavers. I hope he doesn't mind my reusing his wisdom here:

Not for another referendum but surely to Parliament?

Totally agree:

Theresa May declines to rule out paying EU for single market access

Only a fool would equate the Brexit referendum with a General Election ...

I voted "leave" in full knowledge (see project fear) that it would mean removing EVERY EU tentacle binding this country. For me there's nothing to negotiate and we stop paying. IF the EU wants to make a trade deal with us, then fine, but we should not be grovelling to the EU as so many times before.
Absolutely correct. Having tariff free trade deals, continuing co-operation on security and intelligence, together with protection for British citizens working in the EU and EU citizens working here is all we need. We certainly do not want to be saddled with EU laws, free movement and the sheer bureaucracy of this undemocratic institution called the EU.

I believe I answered that so to be clear: I believe that all the legal challenges are using pre-texts such as "due process" as a thin veneer to cover a pro-EU stay campaign based on delaying our proper departure until a more EU friendly government (Labour quisling Libelite traitor) is eventually elected that rams us straight back into the EU fold.

Of course it is a conspiracy. The extent of the agreement Theresa May can get with the EU will be put to Parliament. That is all that is required.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Thanks everyone for taking the time to share your views.

Meanwhile, more information about the Government's likely stance has been revealed. "Theresa May has announced for the first time she wants to negotiate a transition deal to help smooth Britain’s EU exit after 2019.
She told MPs on Tuesday there had to be time for the UK and EU economies to adjust and deal with “simple practical matters” such as updating IT systems after the UK’s divorce.
Mrs May insisted Britain could conclude a divorce agreement and forge a new trade deal with the EU within two years of starting exit talks in March 2019."

Exactly. Much as Chris said.

In "opposition" you have Eurosceptic Jeremy Corbyn who was re-elected this year, what bigger Christmas present could you have asked for? That party won't be in power any time soon.
Even if the Government loses the Article 50 challenge (which is likely), Theresa May has promised that her March deadline 2017 will be adhered to. Pour yourself a glass of English ale and celebrate the festive period and stop giving yourself unnecessary things to worry about.

How can she invoke article 50 if she is legally blocked from doing so?
In addition we have Tony Blair, John Major, Nick Clegg, Tim Farron etc, etc, vowing to do their best to block it and get a second referendum. Then we have the ongoing legal challenge (and others in the pipeline). On top of that we have Soros in the wings who is no doubt pumping money into pro EU pressure groups.
Buy you are right. Nothing to worry about, May has said that her March deadline will be adhered to, so we can all kick back and chill.
Seriously.......some remainers are p*ss*ng on our legs and telling us that it's raining
