'14% (net) are less confident' doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?

Surely the bigger picture is the 61% 'no difference' - people aren't changing their minds how ever much some might wish it to be so.....

Any Remain/Leave breakdowns on that poll?

We have managed to put ourselves into a situation where all our choices are bad. That includes staying in the European Union. Although membership has BY FAR the best practical outcomes, it is the only option that has been explicitly rejected. We can't pretend the vote didn't happen. The Brexit chaos stems entirely from that contradiction.

HYUFD

Key partisan divide remains, 61% of Tories and 76% of UKIP voters have always had confidence Brexit would be good for Britain or are more confident, 71% of Labour voters, 87% of SNP voters and 90% of LD voters always thought Brexit would be bad for Britain or have become less confident about Brexit

54% claimed they always thought it would be bad or are now less confident vs 35% claiming they always thought it would be good or are now more confident. That isn’t close.

SandyRentool

What is meant by "Confident"? Confident that it will happen or confident that it will be good for the country or good for oneself?

Or confident that it will bring down the government/PM? Oh, it already did.

Ivan Krastev says that the problem with referendums is that they can't negotiate with each other. We have a conflict between the Brexit referendum and the Good Friday Agreement referendum, and perhaps that's a good reason to return the final say back to the people once the implications of Brexit are clear enough.

A French view in the comments:

"God in his immense wisdom had installed the English on an island so that they could give free rein to their fantasy, ride on the wrong side of the road, despise the gastronomy, cling to a system of weight and abstract measures, venerate queens to dogs-dogs and ridiculous hats. And patatras we decided to bring them into the European club. Quickly flood the Channel Tunnel."

I don't think people realise just how bad the Fuck Business option, the Vassal State option and the No Deal We're all Fucked option are. These are the only alternatives to cancelling the whole thing. The denial about what our choices really are is feeding into the instability.

whats wrong with the canada option? With a transition period? It's all we really wanted anyway. A recreation of the Common Market. The rest of it just kind of got out of control. We will be happy with buying and selling each others widgets with little fuss and a no visa arrangement for travel and simple work permit and residency permits for those that want them and qualify.

The Canada option isn't remotely like a recreation of the Common Market which was always based on free movement of goods, capital, services and people.

Canada "fucks business", hence Johnson's comment. Businesses that rely on supply chains or regulatory compliance will no longer base themselves in the UK. This includes Airbus, almost all automotive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, much agriculture and a large part of financial services. Our main industries and more. We're talking millions of jobs at risk. Canada isn't a common market - that's Norway. Canada is the ability to sell widgets without tariffs.

There was little to no services in the 1970s and Free Movement of people was a fiction. It was a work permit system which involved having to prove you could support yourself, it certainly did not include unemployed people.

A Canada deal is the only way to respect the Leave vote and most of the promises the Leave campaign made ie end free movement and control our borders, conduct our own trade deals, reclaim money from the EU and end ECJ jurisdiction over the UK and get a FTA.

A Norway deal technically leaves the EU but in effect fills almost none of the Leave campaign's promises and requires free movement and ECJ jurisdiction and add in a Customs Union too and we cannot do our own trade deals either, WTO terms on the other hand fully respects the Leave vote but means no free trade deal and tariffs on trade with the EU and significant economic damage potentially albeit with no regulatory alignment and no payments to the EU

The political character of the community was no fiction. That's precisely why it was able to develop.

Without quibbling over the details, what you've just written explains why going back to the 70s simply isn't an adequate model for the UK now.

None of that was on the ballot paper. Only leaving the EU was. No-one voted for economic catastrophe.

Yes it was on the ballot paper as that was the Vote Leave campaign platform, you may as well say no political party's manifesto was on the ballot paper at a general election

You misunderstand. I wanted to remain in the Single Market, i think it was a massive mistake of May to rule it out at the beginning. The acute problem (problem depends on if you are a giver of a service thats easily replicable or purchaser of it) we have with eastern european migration could be sorted by changing how our welfare state works for everyone. Remove the draw factors. EU couldnt care less how we treat our citizens with tax credits, benefit, minimum wage etc, they just care if we try to treat someone elses citizens differently. We created the draw that meant a head of household could come and collect £12k on min wage, pay no tax, and collect another £10k in child related benefits and tax credits.

Our doing. But no she took the weak way out.

Or alternatively with the UK wide regulatory alignment May and Barnier agreed in December

Yes, so the options should be:

- Vassal State Brexit
- No Deal We're all Fucked Brexit
- For Fuck's Sake Cancel Brexit

I don't think people realise just how bad the Fuck Business option, the Vassal State option and the No Deal We're all Fucked option are. These are the only alternatives to cancelling the whole thing. The denial about what our choices really are is feeding into the instability.

whats wrong with the canada option? With a transition period? It's all we really wanted anyway. A recreation of the Common Market. The rest of it just kind of got out of control. We will be happy with buying and selling each others widgets with little fuss and a no visa arrangement for travel and simple work permit and residency permits for those that want them and qualify.

Canada "fucks business", hence Johnson's comment. Businesses that rely on supply chains or regulatory compliance will no longer base themselves in the UK. This includes Airbus, almost all automotive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, much agriculture and a large part of financial services. Our main industries and more. We're talking millions of jobs at risk. Canada isn't a common market - that's Norway. Canada is the ability to sell widgets without tariffs.

The norway option only seems unlikely because May has utterly ruled it out.

Do you know what model is Hondas top selling car in the EU and where it is made?

And the relevance of that to my comment is?

You are saying that the automotive industry (well all industry in fact) will leave the UK if we go Canada Free Trade deal. I am testing your understanding of whether you really understand supply chains and regulatory compliance.
So where is Honda's top selling car made? Or more simply how can other countries in the world ship large volumes of cars into the EU market yet, they are not in the single market or the customs union?
It is a simple question.

A Canada deal is the only way to respect the Leave vote and most of the promises the Leave campaign made ie end free movement and control our borders, conduct our own trade deals, reclaim money from the EU and end ECJ jurisdiction over the UK and get a FTA.

A Norway deal technically leaves the EU but in effect fills almost none of the Leave campaign's promises and requires free movement and ECJ jurisdiction and add in a Customs Union too and we cannot do our own trade deals either, WTO terms on the other hand fully respects the Leave vote but means no free trade deal and tariffs on trade with the EU and significant economic damage potentially albeit with no regulatory alignment and no payments to the EU

I agree Canada does satisfy a Leave vote at one level, while Norway means outsourcing your economic and trade policy to a third party. That's sort of acceptable to Norway, but is it's unlike to be so for the UK beyond the short term. The problem with Canada is that it "fucks business".and I'm not convinced Leave voters think losing their jobs and standard of living is a price worth paying. They are hardly embracing the reality on this. Hence Theresa May's difficulties.

You talk about respecting the Leave vote. How about respecting the Remain vote which was almost as great? We need to respect both. A Norway deal plus Customs Union does that.

Indeed, but public concerns about migration go back to the rapid increase in non-EU migration from 1997. EU expansion was just the icing on the cake in terms of numbers.

Wasn't meant to be harsh. It is very simple and very attractive football, not overburdened by theory or tactics.
Is great when you have good players.
Certainly Everton were a great watch when he was in charge. Well suited to International football, as his signings were terrible.
However, 2 or even 3 is not a winning lead or a lost cause with him in charge.

If that were true, why was EU migration to the UK negligible previously? In any case, unless you think the economy has an unlimited capacity to create jobs, then the market will act as a natural regulator.

So where is Honda's top selling car made? Or more simply how can other countries in the world ship large volumes of cars into the EU market yet, they are not in the single market or the customs union?
It is a simple question.

You mean Japan with car manufacture of 10 million vehicles a year has the scale to allow it to manufacture without international supply chains while the UK with a production of less than 2 million units is likely to go the way of Australia in terms of car manufacture when its supply lines are cut? Companies with investments in place won't up roots straight away but they won't put new investments in either. Which comes to the same thing in the end.

Off topic: I just made a quick exit from a train, stood on the platform and realised I was holding someone else's bag! Fortunately I had time to get back on, swap bags and get off again.

This comes after being stranded at Alexandra Palace earlier due to a trespass incident and having to leg it to the nearest tube station to get to King's Cross...

Sounds bad, but it'll be tough to top DavidL's 'My car burst into flames' story.

Don't look now, England third favourites for the World cup...!

Brazil were first favourite an hour ago.

If you mean, Foxy, that England might cease to be third favourite if they become 2-0 down to Sweden, then I am in agreement.

Canada "fucks business", hence Johnson's comment. Businesses that rely on supply chains or regulatory compliance will no longer base themselves in the UK. This includes Airbus, almost all automotive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, much agriculture and a large part of financial services. Our main industries and more. We're talking millions of jobs at risk. Canada isn't a common market - that's Norway. Canada is the ability to sell widgets without tariffs.

A Canada deal is the only way to respect the Leave vote and most of the promises the Leave campaign made ie end free movement and control our borders, conduct our own trade deals, reclaim money from the EU and end ECJ jurisdiction over the UK and get a FTA.

A Norway deal technically leaves the EU but in effect fills almost none of the Leave campaign's promises and requires free movement and ECJ jurisdiction and add in a Customs Union too and we cannot do our own trade deals either, WTO terms on the other hand fully respects the Leave vote but means no free trade deal and tariffs on trade with the EU and significant economic damage potentially albeit with no regulatory alignment and no payments to the EU

I agree Canada does satisfy a Leave vote at one level, while Norway means outsourcing your economic and trade policy to a third party. That's sort of acceptable to Norway, but is it's unlike to be so for the UK beyond the short term. The problem with Canada is that it "fucks business".and I'm not convinced Leave voters think losing their jobs and standard of living is a price worth paying. They are hardly embracing the reality on this. Hence Theresa May's difficulties.

Leave voters effectively said 'fuck big business' when they ignored business warnings on the economic risks of Brexit and voted Leave anyway to regain sovereignty and reduce immigration.

Disrespect that and you disrespect democracy, a Canada deal has to at least be tried for a few year's and if we can achieve it it will still 'fuck business' less than WTO terms

I do hope you'll respect the democratic decision to vote in a Corbyn/McDonnell government in 2022 or sooner, due to the mass unemployment a CTA Brexit will bring on.

Democracy involves respecting minority rights too, especially when the majority is tiny. Leavers can vote to destroy their own economic future, but that doesn't mean Remainers have to sit by and accept the destruction of theirs.

I don't think I could legitimately try to prevent the Labour Party from taking office, if they won an election. Obviously, I'd want to vote them out ASAP.

On your first paragraph of course I will, if Corbyn Labour wins next time they will have a mandate to renationalise the railways and utilities and raise taxes on the rich and spend more and give more power to unions beyond question, that does not mean I would not be joining the Opposition to a Corbyn government from day one. Though your premise is not correct either Canada does not have mass unemployment and most UK exports now go outside the EU and most Tory voters are Brexiteers.

On your second paragraph I am sorry you are wrong, democracy means respecting the manifesto of the party which wins a majority or the parties manifestoes in the event of a coalition government or confidence and supply deal with a majority or the winning campaign in a referendum. If you lose you lose, tough, you just try again at the next election, as a loser you have no say in the running of the government
