Surely this idiocy can still be stopped?

I think 1 way or another, the idiocy of the EU will be all over in the not too distant future.

#BBCQT Walking away from a deal in a business negotiation means staying with status quo. But in #brexit the governmentâ€™s saying that no deal is not the status quo but a cliff edge departure with costly legal limbo.

to put it simply

the UK government is threatening the EU that if they don't do as they are told

I'm preparing for a Brexit party.

A nice clean Brexit will make the UK an economic powerhouse. More importantly it will make us a sovereign nation.

Once we are free from the EU we can ramp up the pressure and get PR installed as the system by which we elect our MPs. Then we can move to get a new, populist party in power within a decade, or at least to hold the balance of power. Neither Torys of Labour are up to the job.

The EU isn't idiotic at all. Makes perfect sense in a global economy to standardize with our neighbours on trade, customs and other regulatory issues not to mention allowing EU citizens and business the flexibility to work and sell services easily across borders.

No, what we're doing (for the reasons we've given) is rank idiocy.

Doubt it. Will probably be stronger than ever with the UK still a member. I think this ends with another referendum, not that they would admit it just yet.

The economic numbers released this week all tell a differtn story.
You have been asked many times to tell how the UK will propser outside the UK and have failed to come up with one thing.

The UK has never stopped being a siverign nation - the government had to admit that on the docs to lead up to A 50 - you must have missed it?

There is nothing in EU law to stop the UK changing its voting system

The CEO of Goldmans was tweeting for one yesterday:

Here in UK, lots of hand-wringing from CEOs over #Brexit. Better sense of the tough and risky road ahead. Reluctant to say, but many wish for a confirming vote on a decision so monumental and irreversible. So much at stake, why not make sure consensus still there?
— Lloyd Blankfein (@lloydblankfein) November 16, 2017

Will leave some in a quandary, how can it possibly be the right thing to do if the CEO of probably the most hated bank in the world wants one....

.....but what about when that global economy is idiotic......or am I imagining the ecocide ? Ah the freedom to be used as cheap labour, deep joy !

A Brexit party - lots of Union flags, lots of people shouting Royal Britannia and lots of people standing in the far-right of the hall.

Perhaps if, when the United Kingdom exit the EU, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland joined us in a new customs union...

but then the Netherlands would probably need Belgium to join too...

and that would mean France would have to join us....

and if that happened then Germany, Italy and Spain would have to...

which would compel Portugal, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic as well...

perhaps the whole point of Brexit has been to reform the EU without Denmark?

I actually agree bBut not for the reasons you keep telling us as we haven't signed up to Pesco and even if we did other non-members are going to be allowed to sign up (such as Norway).

https://www.ft.com/content/29f6fe76-c2eb-11e7-a1d2-6786f39ef675

"London has made it clear that it is keen to co-operate with the EU on defence after the Brexit date of March 2019. Details have yet to be settled for the possible participation in Pesco of non-EU members, including countries such as Norway, union diplomats say."

I suspect that support for a second referendum will gather and that will be a more comfortable decision with remain coming out on top.
