Also we will still crush the EU using the weapon of tedious circular stupidity. They are only just beginning to realise the potential power we can unleash.

European elections are in June. She’s dreaming if she thinks they’ll allow extension past that.

Oh that's great. So last time we were there, we arrived the day prior to the vote. This year we're going to arrive the day before the proposed Brexit date. Wonderful.

I’ve never yet recovered from the irony of England, of all countries, raging about the unfairness inherent in being a smaller cog in a sort of (ahem) united kingdom.

The parallels to us trying to get independence out from under them is there too.
Hopefully they don’t have to wait so long.

We're planning on going next year for our 20th anniversary. Hopefully we'll get to.

David Icke long maintained the British royal family and PM were all lizard people.
If they all sudennly shed their skins and started attacking and eating each other in Parliament it wouldn’t be as bizarrre as the last 24 hours. And it’s only going to get worse

Seems both sides are just kicking the can down the road. May’s running down the clock may backfire. And everyone is signing a bloody petition.

They’ve said repeatedly that an extension can’t legally be granted past the June date for EU elections.
The UK will have to take part in those elections if they want a longer extension.
Think it was Barnier said they don’t want that to happen cos Farrage and god knows who else will be elected and continue to attempt to sow discord and disrupt the Eu parliament.
That has been his consistent MO and they won’t allow that to continue.

She’s either blindingly stupid or incredibly arrogant so it’ll be a short extension up to June or a full two year extension. We keep saying she has to step down. She has no support from anywhere either in the public or parliament but who do you replace her with?

It’s all so fucked up

Well, the plus to the forced Brexit is that it happens sooner rather than later and it's easier to cancel now instead of days prior.

I'm against Brexit, but doesn't another vote kind defeat the purpose of democracy?

We can't just keep having votes until you get the result you want.

Usually yes.
But the entire premise was flawed to begin with and people had no idea what they were actually voting on and what that would entail. Ie the social and economic catastrophe that’s about to unfold both in Britain and beyond as a result.
(No deal brexit is going to cost irish households €7k a year for example. We had no say or vote in the process) -and that’s just ireland. Similar impacts EU wide.

Now people are informed and want it changed.

Any democracy that can’t change its mind is no democracy at all

Yeah, I see Juan's point, but it seems more anti-democratic to say that a country has an opportunity to vote once and can then never change its mind.

Exactly.
The US has a presidential campaign once every four years.
Is that undemocratic?

The Brits have no idea how to run referenda. They don’t even have a true constitution.
This is why they’re in this. Along with malign agendas funded by disaster capitalists.

You’ll hopefully see investigations after all this into who funded leave who was to gain and why. It’s nothing as complicated as the Mueller one. The likes of Farrage and fellow architects have openly made millions from this already.

They should be held to account.
