"there are politicians, who previously campaigned on the losing side of the referendum, bent on hampering negotiations by making the UK accept any deal the EU offers"
Like what? Mays deal that MPs rejected?
- makomk 7y agoYes, like May's deal that MPs rejected. One of the fundamental things you need to understand in order to make sense of what's going on in Parliament is that none of the Brexit-related options have the support of a majority of MPs and it's unlikely they ever will unless there's another general election. So the only way for anything to get a majority is for a bunch of MPs who disagree on what they want to ally with each other in order to vote against one of the other options. Also, a general election would most likely have given Boris Johnson the majority he needs to push through no-deal Brexit, which a majority of MPs oppose.
- nailer 7y agoLike campaigning to accept any deal.
- benj111 7y agoWho's campaigning to accept any deal? The whole problem is ~50% of parliament want to remain, the other half don't all agree on what deal they want. So if there is a subset that will accept any deal, there clearly isnt enough to make a difference about anything.
- nailer 7y agoThe remain folks are campaigning against no deal being on the table, which forces the UK to accept any deal.
- benj111 7y agoYou seem to be poor at basic logic. Against no deal != in favour of / having to accept, any deal.
- nailer 7y agoYou should improve your own logic. 'Against no deal' does not mean 'no deal must not be on the table'. The PM is against no deal. He has stated so many, many times. He also understands that the UK must be prepared to walk away in order to get a reasonable deal. Do you understand that?
