The Chequers Deal

weaviemx5

Welcome to democracy I guess, just feels like someone trying to make more out of something that's already been discussed and signed into law.

You wrote off the march in London as being irrelevant because there were 'only' 700k people (who'd made the effort to go to London rather than clicking a link).  Maybe if all 17million who voted Leave click the link, it will show more evidence that those 17million all wanted a hard no deal Brexit?

Both sides are more entrenched than ever. I expect there will be a march if we don't leave in March. At present the expectation is that we still will.

If it carries on at that rate indefinitely, then in roughly one year's time it will eventually be up to 52% of brexit voters in favour of no deal. Might have expired by then though

Now at 332,334 but was debated. With others.

It took me the first five minutes of my speech just to read out those seven petitions, none of which agrees. This is where we are as a country. In this place, we reflect the views of the people outside. The number of signatories to those petitions ranged from 6,000 for the smallest to 330,000-odd for the biggest. Any number of people have supported the petitions. That is what is great about Petitions Committee debates: we talk about the things that people ask us to speak about.

So, less than 2% of brexiteers in favour of a no deal according to that petition then.

It's all feeling a bit Les Miserables now.  Brexit crushed by a backlash of complacency and compliance. Our EU Overlords Truly are our Masters

This Les Mis song probably fits the bill - 'Dawn of Anguish'

And a similar percentage of Remainers support a second vote according to those who marched in London then.

If you compare turning out for a march to pressing a few keys on a keyboard, then sure.

When Theresa said her plan was to create a hostile environment for immigrants, she wasn't joking was she?
