I'm not.

A second Brexit vote would only serve as political cover for a predetermined outcome (Remain)

Probably.  The $hitshow in trying to negotiate a Brexit deal has shifted public sentiment enough to the point that a majority would pry vote for the status quo and remain.

That's not how it works champ.  You don't vote on something to see how it works out, then hold another vote to decide if you really meant it the first time

 

They needed to pass it to see what was in it.

At this point, I think the public is just sick of it. In reality, there's probably a sub-section on both sides that are loud and entrenched and the rest of us are simply just bored with it.

 

As someone that voted to remain in the EU, I'd actually welcome the chance to vote on an actual legally-binding agreement that I could judge for myself. The main reason that I couldn't bring myself to vote to leave was for the exact same reasons that have played out; nobody in the history of Earth has ever successfully negotiated from a position of weakness. The EU has us over a barrel and they know it.

 

I'm not saying that I'd vote to leave for sure, just that I'd be willing to change my mind if I knew what I was actually voting for.

I'm catching up in the open border British liberal meltdown. This was known for at least a week that Boris was gonna be PM, and yet there was a meltdown today.

Priti Patel: Brexit right-winger laying down the law

 

 

 

Priti Patel, Britain's new interior minister, is a right-wing, hardcore Brexiteer who was previously sacked from the cabinet for secret meetings with the Israeli government.

 

Home Secretary Patel, 47, impressed Britain's new Prime Minister Boris Johnson when she campaigned beside him for "Vote Leave" in the 2016 EU membership referendum.

 

Patel is a social conservative who has voted against introducing same-sex marriage and has expressed support for restoring the death penalty -- although she has since rowed back.

 

On taking office, Johnson promoted her to one of the chief ministries. She was the most senior woman around the new cabinet table when it first met on Thursday.

 

The rising star is now in charge of law and order in Britain.

 

"I will do everything in my power to keep our country safe, our people secure and also to fight the scourge of crime that we see on our streets," she said.

Welp, the EU had a chance to be reasonable, and now it appears they will be feeling some pain as well as the UK.  I wonder if stuff likes this brings them back to the table with a more equitable solution?
 

British PM Boris Johnson ‘turbo-charges’ plans for no-deal Brexit
 

Johnson has promised ‘all necessary funding’ beyond the US$5.1 billion already allocated
 

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government holds the first of a series of daily meetings Tuesday designed to ramp up preparations to leave the European Union without a Brexit deal on October 31.
 

Government departments and businesses made extensive preparations ahead of the original March 29 deadline for Brexit, but after two delays, many plans were scaled back.
 

Johnson has now ordered government to “turbo-charge” its efforts, promising “all necessary funding”, beyond the £4.2 billion (US$5.1 billion) already allocated.

I hope Johnson tells the EU to stuff the billions in "divorce fees" that they want to impose on the UK.

That of course is what the secular left wants here. Hopefully they don't attain it until after I'm dead.

So what do the no-leave people do? "Leak" a doomsday report:

^^^^^HAHAHA, 2 and 1/2 months left to get their ***** together.  The referendum happened over three years ago. This is where they are? That Corbin letter is pathetic.
