What do you think a confirmatory vote is?

I’m not indulging your silly games Squiffy. I have no idea if there will a People’s Vote or not but Parliament has made their view of ‘No deal’ abundantly clear. Further consideration is not relevant at this time.

They also rejected revoking article 50, so that can't be part of a future vote?

For what it’s worth, I don’t think it would be. I think a People’s Vote would be a vote on a deal yes or no - and if the latter won it would be back to the status quo.

Rasczak

So if this is a people's vote, who voted in the referendum? Dogs, Cats?

Rasczak

What a strange post.  Surely it is as obvious as the nose on your face that it is being called that because it proposes asking the people about the agreed deal rather than the MPs (which is what we are doing at the moment).  Its name has nothing to do with the last referendum.

I can't believe you need me to explain that

The status quo being that we leave regardless of any specific deal being agreed.

Rasczak

Why not call it a referendum? You know just like we already had but then the people according to some didn’t know what they were voting for.

It’s just weird terminology invented my remainers just like no deal, crashing out, soft/hard brexit, and a people’s vote. All engineered to support their denial of what has already happened.

If you want to call it a referendum, I have no problem with that, but my personal view is a 'People's Vote' is a more suitable summary at this time. Each to their own.

I can't really comment on your assertion that people "didn’t know what they were voting for" in the 2016 referendum but there are different paths ahead and it has been necessary to group them into broad categories to help people understand, hence 'Norway ', 'Canada   ', 'no deal' etc.  Some of these descriptions came from leavers so, unless they are in denial, I think you final comment is very far from the mark.

The status quo being we keep extending Article 50 until a deal is agreed, revocation is decided upon or a new Parliament is elected that supports 'no deal'.​

You really are amusing.

The status quo is continual requests? That's a status quo in your book?

Pacifico

The status quo is the current Parliamentary position which is that no deal is simply not tolerable and will never be allowed to happen.
