Brexit Part Two!

SO yesterday the Houses of Parliament voted to take No Deal off the table, which you know as a Hard Brexit. Hard Brexit used to be called 'Leave' but demonized to make people frightened of leaving the EU.
Now today they voted to allow longer for us to sort out Brexit and will ask the E.U if thats OK., June expected to be the new deadline. But the EU can say no and so another vote on Mays deal is set for next week, one week before the official Brexit day of March 29th. If the EU do say NO then we could leave on March 29th, as planned. Its complicated, even more so because the official Labor opposition, who now want another referendum, abstained on the vote for another referendum? Even the Prime Minister had to vote against her own party as a tactic to delay Brexit.
We re back to the problem that 400 MP's voted to Remain in 2016 and most constituencies voted to leave, the people versus the state. The MPs tactics is to vote everything down and hope it will all go away so they can keep their seats in parliament. Its pure blood cowardly.

This is an absolute shambles and shameful. The corrupt EU the state that will not allow their books to be audited can take a run and jump. I doubt we will ever leave to be honest. I am fed up with the behaviour of these so called peoples representatives who are only representing their own self interests. Foghorn Anna Soubrey and Chuck up Umoaney should have held by elections and see if their constituents would re elect them. They are too frightened to do that which makes them dishonorable cowards! I am ashamed of the way our parliamentarians have behaved.

@tallawah You are correct we are ashamed of this so called government but there is currently no alternative party to put in place so we are left with this fools many of whom receive massive subsidies from the EU to pay for their land and farms they own. Of course they never really wanted to or intended to see this through. This is not just something for one party to deal with alone because it affects everyone. There should have been a multi party approach then we probably would not be in the mess they have created. But with no parties talking to each other and involving each other it is doomed to failure.

I saw the look on Theresa May´s face yesterday and it said just about everything.
I am reading all the stuff about Brexit and I am no one to really say who is right and who is wrong except that I wish they would both take it easier and make a deal that is easy on both sides.
I am from Great Britain and my heart is still in Great Britain but its also here as I live here by marriage and the children I have had here but can still see the two sides of it.
I reckon it will take much longer than all those deadlines they keep giving out.
Wishing a much better outcome for all this and that is all I feel about it.

It could have been solved at light speed if Britain had chosen to opt for a kind of deal already existing, but like usual they want the butter, the money for the butter and the hand of the creamer. Everybody knows that putting again a border in Ireland would create a new war in Northern Ireland, but England does not care. May's deal is probably the best possible, as it keeps UK united. Now that they voted against it, I am not sure that Britain will leave the EU now. When I see what has been done since they left, I tend to think that it would be bad to keep UK inside.

You know I don´t even know what her deal is as such and so little if nothing is ever on the News here it would take me a lifetime to find out.
She seems very determined to take it all to where she can and I think that most would have probably given up in trying.
Again I just hope they get their heads together and take more time in rushing such deals.
More haste less speed is what I am thinking here.
I can say all this to you as you are in France and probably understand it what I am trying to say.
I have tried talking with my eldest and he just blurts everything out without really getting the whole story.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Yes, she is courageous, but despite that they voted against her deal, nobody wants her place, and she will end what she has started.
I think that the EU made all the possible offers, any side would like to find an agreement, but not at any price, and it is not possible for the EU to go against the interests of a member (Spain for Gibraltar, or Ireland for Northern Ireland).

My guess is the fear of leaving the EU is what is motivating this behavior. No one is really sure what it will look like.
