Do you support the Johnson deal [3 October version]?

tickedon

I don't "support" Boris's deal but I don't oppose it either - too early to tell and so I've not voted. Once I've seen the actual legal text, I may accept it as a way to get Brexit over the line. But there was a lot wrong with May's deal beyond the backstop, and where there have been some suggestions these are also being dealt with (e.g. ongoing alignment with EU laws, state aid limits etc.) it isn't clear yet.

And @PatMrex has an excellent summary of other issues with May's deal too.

You do know its a politicians main requisite to be able to lie (especially convincingly)? Also, reply without answering questions.

Applies to 75% of them anyway.

When opposition/media put Politian's on the spot about sensitive questions they should just say the truth sometimes as in "I'm not telling you my Brexit strategy, the EU do read our news you know!!"

Johnson will probably find a way to spin not leaving on the 31st of October. Question is if the UK and EU make compromises on Johnson's deal, will Johnson extend to get it done ? Lots of other bills have to be passed to make Brexit work within the UK's constitution and legal framework. Technically you could get it all done in 10 days flat, but I doubt MP's would allow it. As they'll want to debate each bill on it's own merits and make changes where necessary.

More like he has a way to ask for the extension and then neutralise it with something else.

Not sure why you directed that reply to me?  I think it was Pacifico you want?

My argument was Johnson was fundamentally dishonest but his supporters accept that (perhaps sharing the same assumption as you have) and therefore he won't be "toast" if Britain extends in the EU.  

Anyway, @psikey and @Pacifico I think this is matter for the two of you.

Cant see it. Brexit supporters have given the tories the benefit of the doubt over the last 3 years, all the while May was continually promising that we would leave on 31st March. When she reneged on that promise support for the Brexit Party ballooned until Boris took over with his leave on the 31st Oct promise. If Boris proves to be as untrustworthy as May then those supporters are not going to give the Tories a third bite at the cherry.
