The absolute cherry on the **** cake is Brexiteer Mark Francois
MP (he of the "I was in the TA & learnt never to withdraw" fame)
yesterday demanding, without a shadow of concern for the irony
of it, that conservative MPs be allowed a second chance (vote)
to pass a motion of no confidence in the OM as new information
had come to light, and the "Will of the Tory MPs" has changed.
You really couldn't make it up...

I'm a little confused over whether we can have a no deal exit or
not? If BoJo gets in I imagine that's the first thing he will go
for!

Am actually starting to think a no deal Brexit would be a good
thing. It would mean the existing losers in charge would have to
face up to their actions and would have no one to blame. It
would give the country a massive education as they’d realise
swiftly what they’d thrown away. There’d be a period of
hardship, depression, probably civil unrest. But would lead to a
cold hard dose of reality and humility for many.
I think it might lead to a better politics in the future, born
out of the hardship this created, and a more engaged and fair
politics in the future.
The irony is the next generation will probably be begging to
rejoin the EU 10-15 years down the line.
They will because they are stupid

They will because they will realise that isolationism and
jingoism belong to a bygone era, and that in an integrated
world, the isolationists simply get ever more isolated.

Is Boris going to make it through the Tory MP's voting process
on to the Tory Party Members voting process where he appears to
be a big favourite?

I think he will win...
I’m also thinking it might be time to emigrate!

I don’t know about you but I’ve enjoyed the last couple of
months when Brexit hasn’t been so prominently on the radar. The
conversation seems to be coming back though.
Interesting that the upsides are no longer spoken of - it’s
about damage limitation and getting it done. And there’s still a
bewildering lack of understanding about the EU and how to engage
with them and build a future relationship. The people that
should know, still haven’t got a clue about what the WTO is.
It’s been nice to kick the can down the road a bit but nothing
has changed, which is really worrying...

I'm guessing that should we Exit the EU in line with the result
of the referendum the next thing will be rising calls for
another referendum to take us back in again. This story has got
real legs!

It was 1973 when the UK joined the EU in the form it was then.
That too was decided by a referendum, and ever since then there
has been disagreement about whether we should stay or leave.
Since the leavers continually lobbied for 43 years about
leaving, I think that we can also expect that there will be
discussions about rejoining for a similar timescale.
