So it looks as though we're going to have an election.

Can someone summarise this mess for me, please? I have lost interest in this story which has now been going on for years.

MPs have put this legislation forward that will mean Boris has to ask the EU to extend the deadline to 31/01 (if it wins, as expected). Boris will then call a GE (or not as I have read in other places?) in the hope of essentially ignoring this legislation (rather makes a mockery of legislation).

If he does hold a GE and wins then will he not be in the same issue as he is now? If he loses then we'll likely remain with Comrade Corbyn at the helm?

I saw the most amazing interview with this Barry Gardiner chap who assured me that the country did not vote to leave with no deal. He seemed utterly certain that this was true.

Funny because when I voted I saw a Remain option and a Leave option with no qualification for either. If I voted Remain and the EU took decisions I didn't like, I was stuck with it. If I voted Leave and I didn't like the way we left, I was stuck with it. I was pretty certain that how it was going to work, wouldn't someone have to be awfully thick to think otherwise?

I now we have a situation where the only offer from the EU has been rejected by Parliament 3 times so the only options left are to Remain or to Leave with no deal. And yet somehow Parliament have convinced themselves leaving with no deal is not what the public want.

Honestly, you couldn't make this lot up if you tried.

I voted Leave and that's what I expected to happen. It really didn't seem much more complicated than that. In fact, I assumed we'd leave with no deal and would then negotiate separate deals

I am not sure that the leave campaign really thought things through (EU not letting them have their way on the Irish border issue/divorce bill/where numbers like £350m a week/month/year for the NHS actually came from). The vast majority certainly wouldn't have a clue about the consequences of leaving without a deal.

All of the above takes this back to Cameron. How he decided to let the people make decisions that most are too ill-informed to make is beyond me. Do we not have MPs for exactly this reason - to make the sensible decisions for the country?

I think we need to check with Gina Miller first to see if an election is ok with her imo

A no deal Brexit will hurt the EU far more but why would they even consider renegotiating a deal if the threat isn’t real.

To be honest...we should’ve done this far sooner.

too many foreigners were allowed to vote in the referendum too.

Flawed rules allowing Commonwealth citizens living here to vote.

All these extra voted and remain still lost.
