> a "no deal" outcome, which is clearly bad, is still the best thing brexiters can actually deliver
I don't see the logic here. The deal (let's call it D), is clearly worse than staying in the EU (let's call that option E). From that relation D < E it does not follow that no-deal (N) is better than a deal, i.e. D < N. It may well be that N < D < E. So I don't see how no-deal is the "best the brexiteers can delliver."
- Kudos 8y agoThey said "can actually deliver", not "could technically possibly deliver".
- pron 8y agoThey could have actually delivered the deal had they voted in favour -- and it would have been better than no-deal -- but many leavers voted against.
- int_19h 8y agoIt's the best deal they can deliever that's still meaningfully a Brexit (i.e. it achieves other political goals that were the reason for it in the first place).
- mr_toad 8y agoBecause they can’t agree on D. So they end up with N. Worse, some of them seem to be deluded into thinking they can get some sort of D+ or D* or D’, even though the EU has made it clear they will not renegotiate. I believe one MP likened that scenario to the likelihood of Scarlet Johansen riding in on a unicorn.
