Brexit Options

They did this on Newsnight last night and I thought if was fun.
So, put aside what you want or hope to happen and put the following options in the order of what you thing is going to happen:
Mays deal, Mays deal with amendments, no deal, extension, Labours deal, another referendum, general election.
I’ll go for-
Extension
Mays deal with amendments
Mays deal
Another referendum
No deal
General election
Labours deal.

What say you?

Re: Brexit Options

I posted this on another thread but here it is again as its more relevant to this one.

Here is a scenario for you to consider....

One option that could be used is what I now call "The Gove Plan". This means signing up to the Theresa Mays Withdrawal Bill and then tearing it up once we are out.

Bearing in mind, the Withdrawal Agreement is not a treaty and like Trump when he abandoned the Paris Agreement we could do the same.

Here is what I think could be a likely outcome ...

1. "No Deal" is voted down in parliament and is therefore, off the table
2. "The 2nd Referendum proposed by labour stalls before it even gets off the ground - they can't agree on the question and there is too much push back from their membership (north of London)
3. Parliament votes in favour of Mays Withdrawal Agreement
4. We leave on 29th March as planned
5. May resigns in June and holds a leadership challenge
6. Mogg, Gove, Johnson, IDS - a leaver becomes the PM
7. We tear up the withdrawal agreement (bearing in mind we have had an extra 3 months to finalise our WTO arrangements)
8. Done

Interesting times ahead...

I’m presuming that would be an option if there was another referendum as I think it’s the only way remain would come about.

We triggered article 50 and 17.4 million people voted for it.

If you want to remain, I suggest you move to Dublin.

Yes, we did trigger article 50 without any resemblance of a plan.

Yes, 17.4 m people voted for it based on a pack of lies and deceit.

Thanks for the offer of moving to Dublin, could do with a good pint of Guinness, a bit to early in the day though.

Re: Brexit Options

I was trying to cut through the animosity. Put remain in the list and have a go. I’d put it below “another referendum “ in my list .
