The EU have played for time and applied the appropriate pressure to aid the remainers. You don't send your negotiators in with their hands tied behind their back. Nobody wants no deal but you don't take the option away. It's a terrible negotiation strategy.
A lot of remainers have labelled leavers in fantastical ways. Making sweeping statements declaring us fascists, racists and deluded which for me I thought as a nation we were above in the main.
I doubt if we had another referendum and the result was the same it would end the remainers revolting at every turn.
It’s a nice fantasy but very little of that is true.
But as you brought it up, let’s deal with this part:
Nobody wants no deal but you don't take the option away. It's a terrible negotiation strategy.
I see a lot of Leavers saying things like that. “If you go to buy a car you have to be prepared to walk away!”.
But this isn’t buying a car. This isn’t a normal trade negotiation.
No Deal doesn’t work as a negotiation strategy because we will not be returning to the status quo if we crash out. The EU know this, they know it will hurt us far more than it hurts them and they will not, under any circumstances, compromise on their four freedoms. And neither should they, we are the ones leaving, they shouldn’t have to change just because we were tricked by a bus.
No Deal isn’t a strategy, it’s insane nonsense.
I doubt if we had another referendum and the result was the same it would end the remainers revolting at every turn
And do you think Farage and co would have stopped "revolting" if 2016 had been 52% in favour of Remain? Please!
