samssong   10 #1 Posted June 9, 2017 Now that there is no clear winner in Parliament would it be a good idea for our two main party,s to sit down together and talk out a deal that will bring a good Brexit for us all.  Brexit is the most vital decision that we have taken in the last fifty years surely both party,s can now work together so as to bring out a fair conclusion.

The government negotiates . They will never agree because one side wants the opposite of the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They will never agree because one side wants the opposite of the other.  Agreed. This election was fought on polar opposites from day 1. You can't expect (or indeed would many supporters from either side want) both parties to hug it out and vote for a squishy middle.  This will be bloody and protracted. If you wanted something quick, you should have voted Tory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
L00b   441 #4 Posted June 9, 2017 This is called a government of national unity.  But it will not happen in the UK, because the backers of the pro-Brexit branch of the Conservatives, who seemingly still enjoy the balance of power within the Tory machine, want Brexit outcomes opposed to those sought by the backers of the anti-Brexit Conservatives (and of other anti-Brexit or 'softer-Brexit' parties).  Which is probably how & why May managed a deal with the Devil himself this morning, to the point of visiting the Queen with her proposal later today, rather than (be made to-) fall on her sword like Cameron (was-) did.  You best hopes lie with rebel Tory MPs.

panzer1 Â Â 10 #6 Posted June 9, 2017 My take is the negotiations will be protracted until we run out of time, there will be no extension and we will get hard Brexit by default. Hope so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hope so.  You also hoped Angela Smith would be ousted. She wasn't.  Maybe people with sense don't like the idea of Hard Brexit?

Lockdoctor   10 #9 Posted June 9, 2017 The Conservative party are in the position they expected to be in after the 2015 election. The DUP were the party likely to support them then, before it was clear they had won an outright majority. Sinn Fein don't take their seats which helps the Conservative party to govern. The difference now is we have a weak Prime Minister. It is unthinkable for the Conservatives and Labour party to work together even for BREXIT. Perhaps there will be another election soon after the Conservatives have a new leader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hope so.  There will only be a hard Brexit if that is what the UK wants. I cna well seeing the UK asking for and the EU granting an extension.  Hard Brexit would be utter chaos, because many people do not comprehend how complex the negotiations are. If you want chaos then go far hard Brexit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Swing to labour +3.8, swing to tories +15.5 and she was not even a local Tory??  The next GE will probably be after Brexit negotiations.  Vote against her then: she will still win.  There won't have been a point.
