It's more like a quarter (and growing) are remainers, half of the PM are okay to leave, but not without a deal, and the final quarter just want to leave. But they can't find a viable deal, which grinds everything to a halt.

May's deal is about the best they could get, but it got shot down by everyone

Oh, and it's the ERG that holds everyone hostage, not the remainers. After all, at this rate No-Deal is getting more and more likely simply because they refuse pretty much any kind of agreement, and the clock is ticking. But only a small part of the population is okay with No-deal, it's just bigger than the part who agree to May's deal: https://www.ft.com/content/83d2880a-4bef-11e9-bbc9-6917dce3dc62

As you can see, half of the people consider No-Deal a bad outcome, and only a fifth think it would be good. And like the Parliament, the Brits in general seem to know what they don't want, but can't make up their mind on what they want in the end. And the end result of this will be No deal of there's no solution to be found.

As I initially stated, it wasn't originally based on the Brexit situation, and I also did say it wouldn't be much different after the addition, meaning there still was a difference, because it clearly wouldn't be a direct comparison since it wasn't planned to be.

If the EU truly believes in freedom, rights, equality, etc, then why make the transition so tough? Is domination more important to them? Are they scared other countries will leave as well even though the EU is so great? How does making it easy for the UK to leave go against their jobs? It won't be hurting the EU because if the UK wants out, then what the UK brings to the union no longer matters because they don't want to be part of it. It's like the UK was never part to begin with. They are treating the UK like it belongs in the EU, as if it always has, which isn't the case. It's sort of like when a business says they lost money but what they really mean is they didn't make as much as they planned. That 'lost' money was never their's to begin with and isn't a loss, even though they may have been counting on it.

Opposition or not, politicians are there to serve the people. If the vote was held for all the people, and the majority chose leave, then it's their job to make sure it happens, regardless of your party. If your side lost, and you hold back the democratic majority from achieving what it wants, your not doing your job.

What on fucking earth makes you think that only a quarter of the MPs are remainers ? At least 40% of them are bitter as shit remainers still trying to weasel their out of the real democratic mandate but now we have Theresa May (beg) trying to force EP elections down her very own voters throats most of which are no dealers ... 

No, what's clearly best is that the conservative party needs to be buried along with Thatcher's rotten ass legacy because their god damned purpose has been out served already. It should be the ERG's duty punish leadership who promised to end freedom of movement and leave the customs union as well by splitting the whole party apart and taking the entire grassroots with them as well. In fact the ERG should do to the Conservatives what the Conservatives did to the Lib Dems and that is by making them irrelevant forever in mainstream politics because as of late recently for their leaders duplicity (Cameron/May) ...

There's clearly more important domestic matters to achieve than brexit and it means a long overdue political alignment ... (the salty tory remainer MPs have FAR more in common with the Lib Dems than they do with the rest of the party)

For once, the vast majority of the ERG along with the likes of Jacob Rees-Mogg and Boris Johnson (Jo, who's his brother went the other way) voted for the deal so let's stop pinning the blame on them when most of them are eager enough to put the backstop behind them so they ain't taking anything hostage for shit and in fact are very much the hostages themselves in this case ... 

And no, no-deal is not getting more likely because parliament is full of remainers everywhere holding the leave voters ransom and Macron caved in like a little bitch to the rest of the EU despite all of his constant huffing and puffing LEL ...

Did the sample include remain voters ? If so then it's mostly bunk as anyone can see since they were on the losing side and exactly how much value do you think this poll has when everything including a second referendum ending with a "remain" result is still somehow regarded as a bad outcome ? 

If I see the UK participating in the EU elections, I think it's probably for the best that the ERG along with other brexiteers dissociate themselves with the Conservatives and start painting their own former party as an afront to democracy because that path is arguably a better ... 

Don't worry about no deal happening because it's clearly NOT going to happen since May/MPs/EU will not ever countenance the idea of a no deal and are only interested in kicking the can as long as they all want. There's no political will from any side to deliver brexit but there's clearly tons (over 400 MPs, PM, and majority of EU council) of political will to have these extensions instead. Unless the UK becomes a hot potato and insists on being obstructionist as said by Jacob Rees-Mogg or the ERG/UKIP/brexit group take matters into their own hands to dominate parliament then the threats of a no deal aren't going to be taken very seriously (take this from a fairly hardcore centre nationalist)

A flexible extension. Not surprised.

The thing you're talking about is the exact reason why a direct Democracy is an inherently bad thing. I mean Democracy to begin with is just a flimsy compromise but a direct democracy is just a pure clusterfuck. That's why we have a representative democracy so that elected officials have a bit of wiggle room against moronic voters. And apparently the voters are moronic because all current polls show that the majority now wants to stay. That's why you don't let the masses decide policy directly. The vote should've never been anything binding to begin with, let alone using simple majority.

The fighting we have currently going on between the elected officials is exactly working as designed. It's not a great system but it's better than a direct democracy.

RIP another 6 months of wasted time, I'm confident the British MPs will end up in the same situation they were in the past few weeks, they are fully aware of the immense stain for their CV being an MP that allowed Brexit to happen will be so they aren't able to make any deal. They just gifted populist partiess across Europe another 6 months of time to blame the EU for pointless arguments

EU again decided to be kind to them, so they dont crash out totally unprepaired for anything, and gave them another 6months to figour things out.
Mean while Trump is tweeting "EU is treating the UK so badly ect ect"

I honestly think at this point EU should have not given them another extension, and just said "goodbye" to them.

The really horrible mistake you Scots committed has been to trust again the English (as if they hadn't f*kd you off enough times in the past) just when you had your most important choice to take in the last seven centuries.

Well, at least Macron could limit it to October.

And it looks like Nicola Sturgeon will try to use that extension to get an independence vote done in the meantime. At this rate they could be out of the UK and back in the EU before the rest of the UK ever leaves.

The Local elections on May 4 will be interesting to see. Both for the development of the parties in England, but also the balance of power in Northern Ireland (Wales and Scotland do not vote that day). I just fear that May might be the end of... May, the Force will most probably not be with her that day.

So, the same as every poll (telephone) in the week leading up to the referendum then? The 'poll of polls' never once had Leave winning even when adjusted for those likely to vote.

The most recent poll I saw had it 55-45 in favour of Remain. That's the same as the Populus poll done the day before the referendum.

As long as our treasonous politicians don't remove the World Trade Brexit option from the next referendum, Leave will win again.
