Tricky Tuski is playing a blinder. Final score: 27 -0 !

The simple point is that "exit" must happen with or without a "deal" with EU. For now the only route is to exit "without" a deal.

Even if such a move may "encourage" other countries to exit EU, that is EU's problem and "not" Britain's.

It is time to let the British people to start adjusting to the exit without having to deal with "doubt" created by politics. and EU's "one-sided" demands only designed to benefit the EU's survival as a so called "union"and not to benefit its members.

No deal is what's going to happen. The EU has already agreed that the deal on the table is the only deal. And with both sides of the fence against the deal, it seems that we are at a deadlock. I seriously doubt the EU will grant the UK another extension. So personally, my money is on a hard brexit.

The Institute for Government provides detailed procedural policy of how a second referendum would be presented to the electorate.

The referendum concerning UK’s membership of the European Union held on the 23rd June 2016 took approximately one year to arrange and organise.

Theresa May A50 extension request, and/or the resulting offer from the EU commission, after proposals from council of minsters are considered by all 27 members states could well require the UK to commit to participation in 23-26 May 2019 European Elections with all the possible political ramifications and conflicts that will create.

How would a second referendum on Brexit happen?.....

Even if such a move may "encourage" other countries to exit EU, that is EU's problem and "not" Britain's.

and why would it encourage other EU countries to exit, leaving the EU without a deal will mean hard borders imposed on those countries and custom checks tariffs on those countries trade, no freedom of movement for those countries within the EU. Britain is leaving the EU but they certainly aren't taking the privileges of being in the EU with them.

No the EU will make being in the EU more advantageous than not, they certainly arnt going to let the UK destroy what the remaining 27 EU member states have built, and rightly so.

I wonder how long it takes for the United Kingdom of the UK and Northern Ireland becomes just England? Ireland reuniting to avoid the hard border. Scotland and Wales leaving England to remain in the EU. This is the last step in the complete destruction of the British Empire.

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

Scotland and Wales leaving England to remain in the EU.

They'd be leaving the UK, not leaving England. (Of course, if they left, there would be no UK remaining.)

How long it might take, if ever, is difficult to anticipate. Many supporters of Scottish independence, including myself, think it is important that England also remains in the EU or at least have a customs union with it. Otherwise there would be similar issues over the border between Scotland and England that we are seeing now in Ireland. England out of the EU and Scotland in is not a great prospect for Scotland.

Scotland and Wales leaving England to remain in the EU.

Wales voted to leave the EU.

Despite having talks with Corbyn, May still won't budge on anything at all. It looks like the choice will come down to leaving with no deal or repealing Article 50.

Some of the pro-Brexit supporters yearn for a return of the British Empire. Not most, but a critical number...

-2 ( +0 / -2 )

I struck a nerve. Hoping for the best for the people of the UK.
