Oh, can someone handle me over more popcorn? I like to follow the parliament debate.....

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

If your really interest in what our Parliamentarians have to say, your more than welcome to take most of them to your part of the world and keep them there forever. 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Assuming 650 MP's my guess is that 500 of them will vote against a 'no deal' brexit.

.......the population as a whole are probably less concerned about no deal.

[dave the builder]

Surely the result of any vote today.....
  can be ignored ,debated ,thinned down and never actioned
similar to that vote a while back about leaving the EU 

[Zirfeld]

EU is a mess today. OK. But the ideas are great. Lets start to reform it, not to split it. Europe must be one and GB is a part of Europe. In my opinion the EU grows to fast. Too many losers on board, we all have to pay for.

Yep...agreed.

How many countries are net contributors, I wonder.

A German woman , Gisela Stuart, who was a member of our Parliament, and campaigned for Brexit. Said she did so, because she had worked for the EU for approx. 20 years trying to reform it, and in the end had to admit that it is completely unreformable.
It is about centralised power, control and empire building and wont deviate from that no matter what.
Personally, I don't consider myself European at all, and I suspect many, possibly most British people feel the same.
We are, and always have been, quite an independent minded nation.

[Doctor Gollum]

If only we were French, then we could be righteously proud of such a mentality

Agreed  We are different, and anyone who thinks not is obviously a 'tard. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I wouldn't wish being French on anyone - apart from the French. They deserve to be French and nothing else. 

[TheBoy]

I am bored shitless with our politicians on this.

Although it has all been very predictable.

[Zirfeld]

Oh, i know

Of course i am German, but in first line i am Bremer, wherever i live. Bremen is a Hanse town, with traditional very good international connections.

I feel that out. I am a European. Nice to live in Europe, hard to lose the British friends.....

Europe isn't losing its British friends. We have just chosen to cease being governed by the EU, and return to being a Sovereign, self governing nation. That's quite a different thing. 
However, many of our politicians don't want the job of governing us, despite asking us to elect them to do just that.

We need a totally new political class,  Will you lead us forward TB to start the cull.

[Rods2]

We have the good habit in the UK of getting out of flawed fatal ideas early, before it really costs, like with the Gold Standard.

We are not leaving Europe, we are not departing from our friends only from the hated EU, where we don't want to be chained to a long term economic corpse but reconnect, embracing and freely trade with the whole World. The EU protection racket has constrained many global opportunities.

Joining TPP and creating many new free trade agreements will show the way ahead for all of EU Europe except protectionist France. On average high tariff goods will be 8% cheaper in the UK post-Brexit.

With many high growth countries the West percentage of world trade has been declining but where the EU has done so badly it is losing the percentage of global trade at double the rate of the US.
