No. After twenty years of professional deal-making I can tell you that intransigence gets you nowhere. You succeed by judicious compromise, & understanding what the other side's needs are & factoring this into decision making. Winning at all costs results in losers all round.

Thank you for this. I also have 25+ years of professional deal making experience.

I have consistently said I do not support and would vote against if necessary a second ref. That view hasn’t changed

The EU know we that a no deal would see economic collapse in the UK, we have no bargaining tool. They will push us into a no deal and we will walk away with nothing. Disaster, why can’t you see that?

I don’t agree. The EU want a deal as much as we do. Follow the money.

Even the EU said you can’t take it off the table so I don’t know why others persist unless it’s code for revoking article 50

It usually is code for that or some other form of revoking Brexit

I doubt you have any experience which remotely compares to these complex negotiations for which the government are woefully unprepared. The true patriots looking at the bigger picture are right. We must #RevokeA50 now and end this embarassing and destructive farce.

How can you possibly say you are a patriot and want to get back into the EU by revoking A50! Unless of course you are a patriot of the EU. If this is a democracy we need to honour the referendum if not then why should anyone’s vote count at any time.
