re: #63 Anymouse 🌹

May was explaining (threatening?) the consequences of rejecting the deal. Either vote it through, or risk a crash-out hard brexit with no deal at all, OR remain in the EU without change at all.

Pretty much everyone sees that no-deal would be a disaster for everyone (except the “hard-brexiteers”).

Staying in is obviously a disaster for everything the hard brexiteers want.

So she was saying “vote for this deal or risk everything”.

Hence my analogy to a potential suicide pact between hard-brexiteers and remainers.

RE the referendum; legally it’s not binding, but it would be a terrible betrayal of promises to simply ignore it because it didn’t go as expected.

I’m neutral, emotionally, on May as a person, but I can see the deal is an effort to try and make a sort of brexit without destroying the economy for a generation. It’s not a bad effort considering the factors stacked up against any deal being achieved at all.

Still don’t like it…
