In theory this is a second referendum d00d, Mrs May will see if we have all forgotten about the results of the previous referendum and hope that she can sweep this whole sorry issue under the table....

And, Nigel Farage and his party will have the overwhelming support of the nation and he can decide if he's still in a job and worth standing in the next General Election.

And number (3)...(did I number 1 & 2 ?)
The European Parliament will be so pi$$ed off they will pay us to leave the EU.....

They won't d00d! It is seen as a vote against the Tory shilly shallying. Try to frighten them into a no deal exit. All it will do is put Brexiteers in the EU Parliament to rub them up the wrong way.
As if that will help us get a better deal

If we end up staying in heaven help us! They'll not give us an inch.

That's the whole point though Tess, we don't want a deal at all until we are out....Then we can talk deals....

If we don't have workers rights etc written in stone won't the Tories be able to do as they please, not looking forward to them being unaccountable to anyone.

Rule Britannia !
If the US continues to turn its back on the world, the EU goes into recession and china focuses on flooding the rest of the world with more cheap exports that does not leave us ruling anything. The US and EU are big trading partners. I will never understand why people fail to grasp the implications of that.

Re: How will you vote at the European Elections?

Right .. thanks for that.

I'm a remainer by nature, now I support the idea of Leave No Deal.

Just saw Ms May on the tele, saying ... if you don't support this deal it's "no deal or no brexit". Does she have the power to do another ref. with those two options? If so, surely the majority will go for "leave no deal".

Sorry I know it's all been discussed to death, but it's voting day tomorrow and I'm doing last minute revision.

Sorry Dood, but you did say words of one syllable!

As for Maybot, I shouldn't take much notice of her if I were you. She's nothing more that a repetitive boring old fart who will probably be out of office in the near future. No-one else takes any notice of her anyway.

Actually, I'm not sure exactly what her two 'options' were. You said she said "no deal or no Brexit", whereas every time I've heard her its has been "my deal or no Brexit". Are you sure she's actually changed her tune and accepted "no deal" as an option?

If you want my opinion, I wouldn't advise anyone to vote for a liar (May) or a terrorist supporter (Compo). The Limp Dems, although staying strictly in favour of "no Brexit" of any description, I believe have only gained a few more votes than they have before only because some have voted for them as a protest against the Conservative's anti democratic stance.

My simple answer is that if you honestly support our leaving the EU with no deal (as you have said), there is only one political party which has said they would support leaving the EU without a deal, and that is the Brexit Party.

We are not facing a general election yet, though, so you might ask how can the BP obtain a no-deal Brexit? The answer is that it can't - directly. What it can do are two things:

- They can, and will, represent the majority of people in this country in the EU Parliament. In so doing they can make a real nuisance of themselves, presumably with the ultimate intention of persuading the EU leaders to reject any more of Maybot's ridiculously repetitive deals and any other such deals that may be forthcoming from her eventual replacement.

- They can, and already have, publicise to both people in this country and the EU leaders - by gaining such a large majority of votes - the fact that more and more people demand a no-deal Brexit. That itself would induce more support for them when the next general election comes along. In government of course, especially with a working majority, they can ensure we leave without any restrictions assuming that we haven't already done so.
