So where’s your money? Bear in mind that whichever dweeb you vote for if you had a proper vote (which you don’t unless you’re a member of the Conservative Party. Taking back control) is very likely to be the next prime minister of the UK. As terrifying as that prospect is when you look at the list.
He’s been in the ‘military’ for a grand total of 5 months in his life.
He’s a foreign office ‘diplomat’.
He’s far too sensible to get near the final two and if he does he’ll be crushed by Boris.
The Tory members are a bunch of morons who believe that we don’t need to do a deal with our biggest trading partner. They’ll vote Boris and it will destroy him. Either because he’ll call another referendum or because the fall out from a stupid exit will kill the party forever.
Rory can take over after the carnage.
Five or six months on a temporary commission with the Black Watch but I get the distinct feeling that his involvement with Military Intelligence runs somewhat deeper, Lis.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.
The withdrawal agreement is the only deal on offer.
And we heard technology couldn't solve Irish border yet it's rumoured EU are working on a technological solution.
Withdrawal agreement was the only deal on offer because with May hardly pushing things, no incentive to organise anything else.
That's not the issue, May's deal has been rejected by parliament how many times? Stewart is somehow going to magically get that through by mass hypnosis? Of course not... but by stating "no WTO rules exit" we're back in a never ending circle of parliament not agreeing on anything, EU insisting they can;t change anything, yadda yadda.

Ok here goes. The WA is the only one on offer. May couldn’t get parliament to vote for it, neither will PM Rory.
No deal isn’t going to happen no matter how many times Boris and Dim Dominic pretend it is.
So yes, we’re back in this never ending cycle of madness. If only there was a way to break that.

Yes of course it does. Code name 005 or something. *taps nose*
Things have to change, not just for us but for EU.
What would your way to break the cycle be?
So you think a different Tory PM could go back and negotiate a better deal? Which is exactly what you’ve been slating Corbyn for pretending he can do for months.

I'd say it's bloody difficult due to the hamfisted job done previously.
It depends how much EU want this resolved. They can say "WA won't be revisited" all they like, but they know Parliament won't approve it. New UK leader, new EU leaders ( Juncker, Tusk, Tajani roles all up for election Oct-Nov ) , who knows?

You’re deluded. I don’t even think you believe it.
It's either cycle continues, never leave or just scrap it and Remain then.
Both of which will really resolve things.
Both parties need to get on with things, get it decided and then move on. That's either WTO rules or both parties actually negotiating. A change in leaders on both sides *could* faciliate that. Low probability of that happening, but who knows?

You’ll note the inverted commas around the word diplomat in my post...
Twice lost lengthy and indeed excellently crafted replies so will keep it short.
He is a political commentator, an opinion writer so is not objective. He writes subjectively from the context of being against Brexit. That does not mean his points are all wrong any more than it means his points are all right.
As for the Tory leadership views, it is more pragmatic than 100 per cent ideological. People see Parliament reneging on clear manifestos, referendum result, invocation of Article 50 with deadline and clear default position.
BoJo is not who I would want as PM medium to long term ( not did I vote for him in this poll ) but through force of personality could deliver a Tory majority capable of getting Brexit through. After that, I would want a Stewart running the country - Stewart would fail to win a General Election at this point in time based solely on Brexit.
