Nor should they push the button. This needs to drag on through the election periods for other EU countries, in particular France. Whilst this is hanging in the air, it will fuel the appetite for referendums across the EU and see its eventual demise.
Do you really believe that? and not question the motives of the source of that news? tell me where is your reliable source?
I agree,also with what flec says about this thread being cathartic. one thing that's clear to me and obvious - I know many on the thread will disagree - is that the majority of voters were misled during the referendum by leave - in ways I think perhaps warrants legal prosecution given the damage done. bu there is also caveat emptor, voters evidently didn't and don't know the facts involved in whats probably been one of the biggest decisions they will have made in their lives. like you I hope it isn't over, and article 50 never happens, but there is an almost 100% void of leadership, and the level of reflective awareness of whats happened isn't always helpful, so jurys out I think as to whether this becomes a step into an abyss.
I agree, I don't see an extension beyond two years likely, so then we'll be out. That's when things get interesting though, since only then will we start to see who gets any satisfaction from the move. That might take years to be fully revealed.
there is another school of thought - nationalist movements in other EU countries are waiting for the brexit process to complete before asking for their own referenda. For every loser, there are winners. At the moment, the uncertainty in the UK is benefiting other EU countries as far as investment decisions are concerned. It also suits the USA because of the possibility of reversal of brexit. So a lot of them don't mind how long it's going to take.
yes, I find it hard to imagine any sensible voter in the eu is observing the haemhorrage that is brexit with anything other than growing apprehension/aversion of considering anything similar
I think they are desperate for us to trigger the exit process. Once Andrea Leadsom takes over, I'm confident she will be more than capable of playing them at their own game. The goodness will start to flow.
You'll no doubt be pleased to know that the goodness has started to flow already a mere handful turned out for the Anti Brexit protest.
No worries. It's happening get used to it.The Brexit camp do not approve of protest and have commented and the question asked was "if they have won why does the protest bother them?"
This was my two pennorth
"They're worried that more than half of their support has vanished already, the leaders have quit and it probably wont happen because parliament has no interest in pushing the Red button in case it is connected to the outlet of an overhead septic tank."
Speaking as an impartial observer of course....
Not mine, no Tory will ever fill that position just because some fool(s) vore for them.
Do we need Boris's water cannons?You'll no doubt be pleased to know that the goodness has started to flow already a mere handful turned out for the Anti Brexit protest.
Only 30,000 or so.
"“All EU Need is Love” indeed!

Chicken feed, of course and by the way, who's this Andrea Leadsom person have they found a willing mug? shouldn't someone warn her what she is getting into?
Don't tell me she is being as mislead as the public.
"“All EU Need is Love” doesn't it just sing? can't wait for the song to come out, straight into the top ten I reckon.
Too late a mug was found that bought them, but a nice idea typical thoughtful and diplomatic stuff, Tillson, kudos and all that.Do we need Boris's water cannons?
I listened to Michael Gove's campaign launch speech, and although he stands for the diametrically opposite to my beliefs, I was impressed by the speech and he earned my respect.
My respect too, but only for a Bravura performance of the Confidence Tricksters art of appearing to make a great personal sacrifice while robbing you blind!
