Weird, where are the lib dem? From other polls, it seems both BXP+CON is doing more or less exactly the same than LAB+LBD+Green, around 46 / 47% It’s amazing that after this week, a third of voters still consider voting Johnson. What a time we live in... | ||

Didn't Nancy pelosi say that unless the good Friday agreement is heeded, there won't be a trade deal? I have never seen this addressed by either party in Westminster. | ||

Probably because they know there is no acceptable solution so talking about it can only highlight their own failures. | ||

I believe Trump also said that there won't be a trade deal if the UK maintains regulatory alignment with the EU. Those two positions are at odds. | ||

I honestly don’t think that what Trump says matters that much at that point. He has no clue what he is talking about, nothing is thought through and he will probably not be president anymore when it’s time to make said deals. | ||

I'm not sure what powers their president has exactly, but if he's in a position to block a deal, then his opinion might matter. And I would't put re-electing Trump past the American voters.  They're very tribal when it comes to politics. | ||

There also is an issue that Brexit preparation in EU (I am saying EU because I am somewhat doubtful about UK ones) will reach the point where no Brexit is actually more damaging than any Brexit. | ||

I heard talk that HoC could vote in favor of a new election once the extension was through the HoL? Donno if anything has come from that. As for Boris's talk to the EU when asking for his extension? I expect it to be weak at best with the possibility of being strait comical. Boris doesn't want the extension, he wants to crash out and while Parliament might have ordered him to ask for the extension he can put forth the weakest defence and attempt to sabotage it in whatever way he can. The EU saying no last minute so Parliament no longer has time to act would be a dream come true for Boris. | ||

I mean he constantly forces his European colleagues to basically call him a liar, how indecent is that? My money is (or at least would be) on extension -> election -> small renegotiations -> passing of withdrawal agreement. | ||

If A50 ever gets revoked there will be no more politics that isn't brexit. God what a fucking nightmare. | ||
