Good. The people voted to leave the EU, so get on with the job and make it happen.

  The people didn't vote to crash out without a deal. In fact, all the Vote Leave literature explicitly said we would negotiate a trade deal before we left.

    The irony is that under WTO rules, we'd trade with less say on the rules that under pretty much any other arrangement. Not that the whole Brexit thing was ever very rational (in the homus economicus sense) but this is sliding into a farce and tragedy all in one. If I were an optimist, I'd say that this is posturing to force the EU's hand but I suspect that unless a face saving measure is found, this is it.

  Whether you're for or against leaving the EU is irrelevant. No one should be in favour of bypassing democratic mechanisms to get their way. I support a lot of policies, but I don't support any of them being enacted by undemocratic or unconstitutional means. The people elect Parliament, and Parliament decides whether Boris Johnson is Prime Minister. He has no authority beyond what Parliament gives him, that is how our democracy works.

  > The people voted to leave the EU Erm, no. 51% of 72% voted to leave. The rest either voted remain or didn't vote. Most of those who voted to leave almost certainly didn't vote for no deal. So stop spreading this empty "just get on with it" rhetoric. It's infuriating.

  The people also voted for a parliament.
