"So instead of the backstop we want alternative arrangements. Can someone enlighten me as to what they are. If you can, can you also explain why we are arguing over a backstop that’s clearly never going to be used because we have these alternative arrangements up our sleeves." It comprises sunlit uplands and unicorn dust | |||

"I think the EU would be interested too what those alternative arrangements are. Anyhow I don't understand the issue with the backstop: If the UK is really interested in finding a sustainable solution for the Northern Ireland border problem, they will have two years of transition period to do so. The backstop only kicks in as a last resort should no trade agreement be found. It's up to the brexeemists themselves to avoid the latter. " Well, it's been over 2.5 years since the referendum to have Brexit and Westminster still can't agree on what Brexit actually is. So no, nothing the Government / parliament has done in over 2 years fills me with any form of confidence that a trade agreement can be negotiated within 2 years to avoid the backstop triggering. | |||

"This is nothing more than a way of wasting another 2 or 3 weeks in the hope that the EU will throw the ROI and peace in Ireland under the bus and give May a deal that will save the Tory party. " Rubbish your reasoning is flawed.This whole thing is to get out without a deal a blame the EU and not are sad parliament. | |||

"The brexit supporters must still be in bed after celebrating last nights magnificent victory." Not many want a no deal so it was a defeat as far as Im concerned and many others | |||

"Hard to understand what UK really want Thought Parliament made it pretty clear the other night they want to get rid of the backstop. " Yeah with 'alternative arrangements'... sure you couldn't get any more explicit and crystalclear what that entails.... do you really think the EU is going to buy that? | |||

"Hard to understand what UK really want Thought Parliament made it pretty clear the other night they want to get rid of the backstop. " Very good And the eu made it crystal that for any deal a backstop must remain And parliament made it crystal clear that no deal is off the table So the only solution is no Brexit x | |||

"The EU can't negotiate with a Parliament, only a Government. That's what it did. Mrs May signed on the dotted line on behalf of the British Government and hailed it a triumph for post-Brexit Britain. Now the EU finds Mrs May is not in control. Her Government is unstable. It is her Parliament, or more accurately her Party, that is pulling the strings. it cannot be easy to get 27 governments to sign up to something. It must be impossible when the 28th does not have the authority to act on behalf of its country. It is a UK problem, not an EU one. Britain needs to get its act together and decide what it does want, not what it doesn't. " 25 percent of the UK want to leave without a deal 27 percent think they want to leave but not sure how or really why 48 percent want to stay and know why | |||

"It wouldn't be the first time that the fat cats in the European . Have thrown Ireland under the bus . Remember the banking crisis " You mean the Irish banking crisis where the Irish government paid back every creditor they had 2 years early and with interest, including the uk government.. so let’s not pretend the brits didn’t make a profit from it! | |||

"Doing a volte face on a watertight backstop agreed only a few weeks ago just underlines the importance of a watertight backstop when viewed from Brussels and London. " This. 100% this. Can you imagine the faux 'outrage' if this was the other way round and the European Parliament (or any national parliament come to think of it), said the legally-agreed text just agreed needed to be undone and renegotiated, but didn't say how or what it would be replaced with... ...and that's before you get your head around the PM telling her MPs to vote for an amendment that undid the deal she had said was the best she could do! You couldn't make this up! | |||

"Parliament said what it did NOT want, not what it wanted. The EU is still asking the question - what do you want, UK? The UK - or rather the Conservative Party - still cannot answer. Did you hear the Brexit Secretary in the radio interview? Five times he was asked to explain what these new arrangements are. Five times he dodged the question. The UK wants to "explore" them. What they fuck have they been doing for the last two years, if only now they are "exploring" them. It's a sham. " Can you not understand it is Parliament as a whole not the tory party,this is the mistake of it all,you cannot get away from thinking in the terms of petty parties,you maybe an MP,that might explain your wrong thinking | |||

Before article 50 was triggered or at what point after? Be interested to know how you alone know of this.. | |||

" So the only solution is no Brexit x" Yay! So a solution to all the dead lock problems and also avoids a future economic downturn We would still have our sovereign parliament, the perk of free movement and 50 odd existing free trade deals! Win-win with no draw backs! Excellent idea! Lets do it | |||
