Is doomed from the start?

Corbyn wants to be a "caretaker" pm for a short term, presumably declaring sn election afterwards.

But the likes of jo swinton doesn't want corbyn in no.10, is this jealousy and wanting to be pm herself?

had to laugh she has just said if we have an election after the 31st october without stopping brexit it will be undemocratic.Funny how all of a sudden she believes in democracy when shes been trying to stop what the country voted for the last 3 years.Hypocrisy at its best.

Corbyn trying to get into No10 by the back door, I don't care which way you voted. Don't let that man into No10 or Brexit will be least of our worries.

i think it is interesting that the first 3 people in the thread have tried to spin what happened in the meeting......

because here is the actual joint statement that was released....

"The leaders of the opposition parties held a productive and detailed meeting on stopping a disastrous no-deal exit from the EU.

Jeremy Corbyn outlined the legal advice he has received from shadow attorney general, Shami Chakrabarti, which calls Boris Johnson’s plans to suspend parliament to force through a no deal “the gravest abuse of power and attack upon UK constitutional principle in living memory”.

The attendees agreed that Boris Johnson has shown himself open to using anti-democratic means to force through no deal.

The attendees agreed on the urgency to act together to find practical ways to prevent no deal, including the possibility of passing legislation and a vote of no confidence.

The party leaders agreed to further meetings."

so they are talking about taking legistlation route first... and then the "vote of no confidence" route is the last option of resort....

if they do get the legistlation route they are basically going to dare boris johnson to try and shut down parliament to get his no deal thru....

i think you can also say that there is going to be no "party conference season" this year.... as they are going to oppose going into recess for it, because it is going to take 3 weeks off the "time for options".......

"“the gravest abuse of power and attack upon UK constitutional principle in living memory”."

My opinion is, the vote we held 3 years ago was democratic, and a majority voted to leave.

The government attempted to get the agreed deal through parliament...and failed, not once, not twice, but 3 times, meaning the deal as it stands is just not acceptable to the House of Commons.

The current leader of the government has said therefore that we need to re-negotiate it, and then get that through, or leave with no deal.

He is trying to avoid dickheads like Corbyn and the others from derailing that process....which is far more of an "attack upon UK constitutional principle" than what Johnson is trying to do.

And the President of Syria was democratically elected, but it doesnt stop the UK trying to sanction them and tell us the people there didn't have a fair vote, and did not have all facts available to them.

Democracy depends on a degree of openness, and the brexit vote just had scaremongering.

This is very very clear, because people voted on something 3 years ago, and they still dont know what it means.

The President of Syria wasn't elected fairly, it was rigged, and the majority of the rest of the world deplore the human rights record of his government, which includes using chemical weapons on his own people, who just so happen to oppose him and his regime.... not very democratic things, barrel bombs.

There's nothing undemocratic in avoiding a damaging no-deal Brexit. The referendum was advisory for the lawmakers in Parliament. It is the responsibility of the latter to seek the best outcome for the UK and its people. If the majority of the parliament considers a no deal Brexit as an unacceptable solution to realise the will of the people, then it is an entirely democratic process.

Well, the report was described by more than one source as a "whitewash", so I guess I don't need to read it. Her recommendations don't seem to have been acted upon, in fact things seem to have got worse after her "report", not better, almost like some people within the Labour Party felt that they could get away with even more.

I'm still hopeful that we can avoid a "No Deal" Brexit, but having the loons loose in Parliament only gives the EU hope that they don't have to move on the terms of the deal, almost like May taking "No Deal" off the table, which I think led to the position we are in now.

So long as there is the slightest risk of no deal exit, I feel the UK has a little bit of leverage towards re-negotiations.

I don’t want to get into a argument about ‘we voted leave and thats that’ but the facts are it was a tight referendum result.

At no point was a ‘crash out with no deal’ mentioned as a serious outcome. Both remain and leave acknowledged there would be a deal and that to leave without one would be an act of self harm.

Given such a small margin of victory for a moderate Brexit, an extreme version of appears not to be what people voted for.

There is a real possibility that, if it was put to the public vote, this extreme Brexit would not get a majority.

Irrespective of your views on Brexit, that a battle of ideology within the Conservative party can be allowed to put the rest of the country at risk doesn’t appear to be anything like democratic.

Just my opinion.

Also, worth’s remembering that everyone has an opinion and it carries just as much weight/ validity so let’s debate this calmly and based on fact.

Unfortunately it’s became a us vs them issue and is argued with ever more extreme language.

I think people forget that leaving with a deal is still a pile of shit compared to remaining in the EU.

Or course it's better than no deal. But they're going to paint whatever crappy deal we end up with as some kind victory. It's a joke.

I'm more unhappy they votwd against May's deal when she was the leader of the democratically elected government. Who the people voted to negotiate for us. To me that's honouring two elections.

Id be unhappy if they voted to revoke article 50. That's not honouring the referendum.

I think a second vote is schrodingers... Both honouring and not honouring. Aka a kop out.

If the people change their mind. That's democracy.

Do you think the general cluster fuck and financial ruin caused by any form of brexit isn't enough to put other countries off? That the EU won't make it easy for us?

Also why should they make it easy. They're negotiating on their own behalf, not on ours. We used to avail of their negotiation skills.

I can see that the ultra rich elites could see how easy it was to bullshit people enough to vote themselves deeper into austerity and poverty for their benefit of the few at the top. So maybe they will try it. But I can't see ordinary citizens in any other EU country having the wool pulled over their eyes so easily.

"Is doomed from the start?

Corbyn wants to be a "caretaker" pm for a short term, presumably declaring sn election afterwards.

But the likes of jo swinton doesn't want corbyn in no.10, is this jealousy and wanting to be pm herself?

"

Think about this from Swinson's perspective.

A vote of "no confidence" in Johnson means a General Election is inevitable.

She hopes to scoop up the disaffected Conservative voters.

She also knows those same voters detest Corbyn.

So, does she want to go into that election having conspired to put Corbyn into No. 10, albeit temporarily?

Faced with claims, not unreasonably, that a vote for the Lib Dems will give you Corbyn as the next PM.

I suspect she is afraid of scaring away the Conservative vote she is targeting.

but remember the different party leaders agreed today to go down the path of legistlation first...... and only if that didn't work they would go down the route of vote of no confidence....

merkle and macron actually did Bojo a favour, but with a sting in the tail...

they basically give bojo 30 days....but then the onus is on him to come up with something that works around the need for the backstop and complies with the GFA....

if he can't... thats not on them.... thats on him!

According to her deputy, Liddington, May stepped back from No Deal in February after speaking with community leaders in Northern Ireland.

She came to the conclusion a re-unification vote was inevitable in the event of No Deal and wasn't prepared to take that risk.

they can try and call one under the fixed term parliament act, but i bet if the conservatives they tried that (remembering they would need 2/3rd of parliament to agree) the no deal brexit group would add an amendment to it to get the brexit leaving date changed.... and basically turn in into a poison pill bill...the tories wont but if corbyn tries a no confidence vote wins and then cant agree to who leads it will happen.

but remember the different party leaders agreed today to go down the path of legistlation first...... and only if that didn't work they would go down the route of vote of no confidence....

merkle and macron actually did Bojo a favour, but with a sting in the tail...

they basically give bojo 30 days....but then the onus is on him to come up with something that works around the need for the backstop and complies with the GFA....

if he can't... thats not on them.... thats on him!

I think the most likely solution is the northern ireland only backstop... but then the DUP will go mad! "
Even if they get the legislation it will lead to a GE the tories are ahead in the polls and even labour mp,s are talking of losing up to 40 seats due to their stand on brexit to the tories.I could see the lib/dems getting more seats than labour though as they are very close in the polls now.

Not a hope.

The only thing the SNP want from any pact is a second independence referendum at a time of their choosing.

Possession being 9/10ths of the law, Trident becomes a huge bargaining chip in the event of a Yes vote.

""“the gravest abuse of power and attack upon UK constitutional principle in living memory”."

My opinion is, the vote we held 3 years ago was democratic, and a majority voted to leave.

The government attempted to get the agreed deal through parliament...and failed, not once, not twice, but 3 times, meaning the deal as it stands is just not acceptable to the House of Commons.

The current leader of the government has said therefore that we need to re-negotiate it, and then get that through, or leave with no deal.

He is trying to avoid dickheads like Corbyn and the others from derailing that process....which is far more of an "attack upon UK constitutional principle" than what Johnson is trying to do.

What's democratic about closing down parliament? We were told Brexit was about sovereignty: parliament is sovereign but apparently only when it suits the fat oaf

And what's democratic about trying to undermine a freely held, democratic vote by any means necessary?

They aren't interested in what the result of the referendum was, they are only interested in getting the result they wanted... Britain to remain in the EU, and they will happily ditch their previously held differences in order to do it.

They're trying to stop No Deal, not stop Brexit. what ian blackford and jo swinton? you must be living on a different planet of course they are trying to stop brexit."

Well, Jeremy Corbyn has the backing of all of his Labour MPs, Plaid, the SNP, the Greens and some Tories.

The only parties opposed are the Lib Dems and ChangeUK....

Maybe the Lib Dems are finally standing up for the 30% of lib Dems voters who voted leave....

. If every Labour MP voted against a deal and were joined by every other opposition MP ,, they would not be able to stop a deal ,, because the conservatives ( along with their tax-payer funded DUP allies ) have a majority in The House Of Commons ,, so it is not Labour who are stopping ( or have stopped ) a deal ,,, it is the Conservative Party ,, whose absolute abject incompetence in calling a yes/no referendum without any plan what-so-ever how to proceed if we voted leave has shown them up for actually not having the long term economic plan they used to say they had

It's a good way to sort the wheat from the chaff. People find many things so easy to say but they are better evaluated on what they actually do.

Sovereignty is very important to many, especially that of parliament. Precedence and protocol are important elements of parliament and the Opposition party and Leader of the Opposition have both responsibilities and a positional power that other parties and leaders don't have. Ensuring that parliament works effectively, at times of national crisis, is clearly smart and in the interests of the country and its people.

Sustaining a trajectory solely because it had been a requirement in the past, is insufficient cause to continue with it, when intelligence directs us to reroute. It's more so important when the population and the country are deeply divided, member states wanting the opposite and the earlier end point will also probably result in deaths. The opposition should focus their power and resources to curtail a Prime Minister imposing intolerable damage - in fact, all elected politicians should do this, including via their support and collaboration with the Leader of the Opposition, whoever that is.

1) they said they would honour it WITH a deal...

2) I seem to remember that over half of the conservative party did not vote for the deal agreed.....

so when did a "no deal" brexit become the default position?

were we not told a norway deal, or a canada deal, or a swiss deal...... we were told those by farage and his ilk though the whole campaign....

you wanted to "take back control"....

you wanted parliament to be sovereign....

the british supreme court decided that parliament was sovereign!!!

well this is what it looks like.....

The biggest problem was that May took "No Deal" off the table, and weakened our hand massively.

I think if she hadn't done that, we might have got a better deal. Big mistake letting a soft remainer lead the negotiations."

Yes, she is.... a barrister who couldn't find anti-semetism in the Labour Party, which is a bit like me walking on a grass field, and then saying I couldn't find any blades of grass!

You didn't read the report did you? She found that anti semitism wasn't endemic (she didn't say it didn't exist) and made 20 (I think) recommendations for dealing with racism and anti semitism in the party

Well, the report was described by more than one source as a "whitewash", so I guess I don't need to read it. Her recommendations don't seem to have been acted upon, in fact things seem to have got worse after her "report", not better, almost like some people within the Labour Party felt that they could get away with even more."

At the risk of revisting an old argument yet again, any experienced negotiator will tell you that you always retain the option of walking away.

Corbyn et al have been told this repeatedly, that taking 'no deal' off the table weakens our negotiating position, but still they refuse to accept facts.

Corbyn couldn't care less what happens with brexit - all he's bothered about is getting into no. 10 - by any means necessary

I know what you're saying but this kind of negotiation cannot be compared to buying a car.

If you walk out without buying the car then your circumstances have not changed one single bit.

A better example would be with a leasing company. You've already leased your car, you need your car but you want another car for less money.

Then because you can't get a better car for the same or less money to lease you throw your current lease car back at them and say "I'll fucking walk instead but you'll suffer more than I will"

You need a leader who wants what's best for the country, not someone quoting they have a democratic mandate to do whatever the fuck they want. When the result was close and it's a generational polar change in strategy, compromise is the best choice for the country.... Either extreme (no deal or stay with no change) will and up being divisive, and dominate your politics for years to come.

In my opinion you have 3 categories of people. Those who definitely want to go, those who definitely want to stay, and those who want to significantly reshape your relationship with the EU. The third choice is the best compromise to me.... May tried to do this but her failure was that she couldn't sell her vision well enough.

You want to keep some things, get rid of some things and change some things. This is the real negotiation. It's not a car dealership where you have 50 options to buy from, and you threaten to walk to get a better deal. Everyone wants a deal of some sort. The EU and the UK will end up with a deal of sorts, whether now or later. The fact of the matter is that if you leave with no deal, this actually weakens your negotiating position.

If I was the UK PM, I would think the trump card that I have is that the EU desperately want you to stay. You could use this to completely take away the bits of EU membership that are unpopular, with the potential offer to the EU that if they did what the UK wants, that this could them be put to the people again. There is enough interest from the UK people in this issue to get involved in a real public consultation process to inform this, which could be truly democratic (as opposed to the simplistic yes/no but no one knows what this means as in the first referendum.)

I think this is the path to try to bring the country together in the issue, as opposed to it being a divisive issue that could really damage the country over the next years

Brexit is when your mates Nigel and Boris say we should stop going to the usual nightclub because the tickets are too expensive and go somewhere else instead.
