Imagine being remembered as the generation of Conservative Eurosceptics who had Brexit within their grasp and then ... lost it.

Pragmatists versus purists, Julia. Had the former been offered May's deal in May 2016 they'd have taken it and agreed to work from there. The latter will now most likely ensure Norway, EEA or no Brexit at all ...
-
Norway, EEA and no Brexit all have an exit clause that doesn’t split the country, the WA doesn’t.
-
Fine. We will have Norway Plus then.
-
Why not just Norway?
-
Norway’s preferable, signs are E.U. wants us in CU though - THE CU miles better than A CU.

Half of Leave voters supported
#EFTA yet we are not represented by a single party. Most Remainers value single market/FOM & are as sceptical as we are about political & economic union. EFTA economically/socially sensible choice - inside single market, out of EU & customs union -
Yes unfortunately derided by both sides but I think with proper FOM controls as in Belgium etc which a couple of MPs have eluded to lots of Leavers could support it as certainly a better exit mechanism than WA.

Sorry Julia, but WA is our best chance of actually leaving the EU. Opposing it is robbing us of Brexit. I’m exasperated.
-
The idea that the WA wasn’t Brexit is wrong, obviously. I campaigned hard for leave and demand MPs wore for the WA so we can actually leave.
-
WA = BRINO, the backstop saw to that. Without the backstop another story.
-
The WA is a vote for subjugation.

"Matthew, if the WA was Brexit, Eurosceptic MPs would have voted for it. It wasn’t." Julia is right. And the only people losing us Brexit are those Parliamentary Remainers who are trying to overturn our exit on March 29.

Erm it was. Extremist Brexiters are biting nose to spite face it seems.
-
The extremists are the ones who want to overturn Brexit
-
We have a Brexit deal on table. A no deal or ERG Brexit has no chance getting through.
-
It isn’t Brexit.
-
I voted for Brexit but don’t want no deal. Many people who voted for Brexit don’t want no deal either.
-
It’s not a problem. This “deal” is a hundred times worse

Sigh, it is. We will have legally left the EU, sounds like brexit to me.
-
Sigh, in what way? We would still be bound by EU rules, still be paying the EU, can make trade deals but not enforce them, can basically do nothing, including leaving that "deal" without the EU's say so.
-
It means that we would have left the EU. That was the question on the ballot paper in June 2016.
-
Indeed. I despair at brexiteers not voting to legally leave the EU.
