What term will the Leavers use if, down the line, May starts wavering during the negotiations? If she decides that the best deal on the table is actually better than "no deal"?

That will evolve through the 'art of the negotiations'

Before this election and until May has been convinced, by professional advisors no doubt, that to be at all successful we must have a viable walk-away option - there was little or no chance for a good negotiated outcome.

Now there is at least the prospect - but now the negotiations start in earnest and these things are not black and white.

To be fair, speaking for myself, given that a year ago I held little hope of leaving at all, I will be able to accommodate a number of compromises - so long as we do actually leave

My aspirations are tempered by the knowledge of where we were pre 23/06 - acceptance of how difficult these negotiations are going to be and that to get the best long-term outcome we might need to accept some things that are a bit 'unpalatable'.

I have previously said that I would accept us in a deal that saw us part (unnecessarily) with a good lump of money to help the EU in the short-term - so long as it is part of an accommodation that saw us leave with an appropriate trade deal.

A fair deal is better than no deal, but the Libdem's and Labour's policies on Brexit - from a negotiations POV - simply would ensure that we either got no deal or Remained in the EU.

So far so good for me

You might find it a bit easier if you carry on the football theme

Consider the EU as a football team that has the following characteristics:
  • Full of arrogance and believe that they have a god-given right to do what the fuck they want whenever the fuck they want to
  • Has a load of faux supporters lapping up their every word
  • Makes up /changes rules as they go along to their benefit
  • Ensure that their supporters fill all the top jobs of influence to ensure that they are always favoured
  • Act with contempt to your team - and have done so for decades - actively ensuring things go against your team

etc. etc.

Lets just call them the scum and you may be able to get on board with being fully behind our team.

CITY have had some shocking managers - but I stayed committed.

I have said before that this election is not about Brexit. May had all the power she needed to push it through. This is all about keeping a hard right wing Tory party in power. Very clever to make it sound like it is though with all those leaving votes up for grabs and those disaffected Labour voters. Who would have thought?

A NHS that is underfunded, higher taxes and push through all the nasty little employer rights you can think of. Fox hunting et al and she can stay in power for the next 5 years. I am not a Labour man but this Right Wing Tory Party worried me.

Interesting tweet that mate but is it not better off in the general election thread as i fail to see what it has to do with brexit?

We have our resident chief negotiator talking about professionals working on a viable walk away solution. Viable my arse! Viable for whom? Everything is viable if you don't give a fuck about people.

I wasn't having a pop at you mate as i can believe entirely the content of the tweet but i have a downer on all politicians if im being honest and can believe the same thing would happen regardless of who was in power.

I just think its worthy of discussion elsewhere that's all.

mcfc1632 has a deferential, forelock tugging deference for private sector professionals, taking away all the messy details that would only confuse your average Joe.

But it's your average Joe who will pay. He loves democracy when it delivers the right result, then he builds a wall round it, herds everyone behind a barrier, then tells them to leave it to their betters.
