They voted to before the EU referendum, they voted to remain in that.
With a significant difference in the UK/EU relationship I can understand why there is a push for a second independence vote and whilst it would mean accepting EU rules they voted for that by remaining part of the UK pre Brexit vote. Collateral damage from the referendum result.
The likes of Davis supported Brexit, when given the opportunity to do it he failed. Probably because it was impossible to negotiate a deal to please everyone despite Leave saying that there would be a deal and how easy it would be.
Only 2 options left now that May has really screwed up, no deal or referendum/revoke article 50 as it won't make any difference who leads the Conservatives the EU won't renegotiate.
Leave said that there would be a deal, the easiest deal according to some of them but it was obvious prior to the referendum that it wouldn't happen.
Even if you have changed negotiators
you would still struggle to get a deal to satisfy the everyone
and whilst it wasn’t a legally binding referendum it was always going to need approval from parliament.
That is the problem
it doesn’t matter who negotiates it whilst the numbers are the same in parliament nothing can change. Vote for whoever you want today it won’t change the bit that needs to change. If you want direct contact democracy we need political change.
We have yet to see how badly the EU want a deal, they won't do anything to ruin their club and will no deal rather than give us anything.
Even if May hadn't promised what she did they wouldn't change, their social experiment is more important.
179 States worldwide sell to the EU with NO Customs Union and NO Single Market membership.
They are not part of the EU, EEA, EFTA or anything else, yet they sold £1.5 TRILLION of goods into the EU last year.
Gnomatic wrote:From my point of view on this side of the pond, the UK has a much stronger hand than other EU states, in part because the UK kept its own central bank and currency, never adopting the Euro as the official currency. On top of this, most big institutional trading of the Euro goes through London.
Sadly many financial institutions have already moved staff because of the uncertainty, part of May's disastrous agreement was meant to protect the city.
