They will let in May and nothing will change.
I agree. Absurd to get a Remain leader when the most important issue is to negotiate Brexit. I don't mind if it's Gove or Boris, and I quite like Fox though I'm not sure he's leadership material. But Boris has better chance of winning a general election and saving us from Corbyn.
I don't think you need to worry about Corbyn, Mo. Him staying in place is literally the best thing that could happen to the Tory party.![]()
The only problem that would arise would be if Labour actually had a credible leader in place at the time of the election. Meanwhile, the LibDems are shamelessly trying to use a Remain platform to position themselves as a credible party again.
I don't agree with you about May. May could be seen as the best compromise candidate, as she has cannily remained untarnished by the whole Brexit business, but - as her statements make clear - she knows that rolling back on Brexit isn't an option.
Ultimately, there's bound to be a fudge on the deal we make - that's how deals work.
You can't fudge this. Ultimately it's in or out unless - my dearest wish - the EU project collapses and is replaced by a community of nations who co-operate without an unelected all-powerful Commission running the show for its benefit.
But if the EU continues in its present shape and form we are in or out. There really isn't a grey area on this.
Oh, we're out. Make no mistake about that. The fudge will be the terms on which we're out - not the fact itself. All that is just wishful thinking by Remainers. There will be a fudge on free movement (probably something along the lines of free movement of labour, but restrictions on other forms of movement) and there will be a fudge on our access to the single market. We will not be entirely outside the EU, but neither will we be part of it.
Ultimately, all I cared abut was the undemocratic, authoritarian and unaccountable nature of the EU, so I just wanted us out of that. The other details don't bother me over much.![]()
