politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » On the day of Johnson’s Brexit plan the latest polling on how voters view the referendum decision
This is YouGov’s tracker which has been asked least twice a month since the referendum in June 2016. The format of the question has been unchanged and in the early day just about all the findings had Brexit being “right”.

When would the vote on the QS be held?
Lets say this is the sequence:
QS on 14th October.
Boris gets his deal on 17th/18th October.
Boris presents his deal to Parliament on 21st October. Passes. 31st October is secured as date we leave.
QS is voted on 21st/22nd October. It fails.
One line election bill is presented to Parliament 23rd October. Passes with Con + DUP + SNP + Lib-Dem votes
Election held on 28th November or 5th December.0 -

You think you've got problems. Try teaching about the Wars of the Roses three times a day (because of three A-level groups) and referring to the weakness of Henry VI as a stupid man ruled by corrupt and greedy but not overbright advisers and the partisanship of Richard of York as a dimwitted placeman who believed in his right to a top place because of his familial connections without drawing Johnson and Corbyn parallels.asjohnstone said:

Agreed. All that matters is that it did vote to leave.egg said:On topic. But there was only one poll that mattered, the decide this thing leave remain in referendum that settles it for a generation.
I voted remain. I did give it serious thought, because there was nothing about Cameron’s deal getting EU to agree there’s different lanes with different speeds, and in many ways we weren’t entirely in the EU project and never will be. That would have nailed me onto accept his deal without serious thought
But if we brexit this year or next, and honour 2016 referendum, not a shred of doubt in my mind in 8 years time we will be right back in again.
No one believes brexit is for keeps with the electorate morphing and knowledge of brexit shifting do they?0 -

We have had 39 months of parliamentary chaos thanks to MPs refusing to back any form of us leaving, relentless media on how awful it is going to be if we do leave, is it any wonder that some people are beginning to wish it had never happened?
I would compare it to going out drinking with your mates, having a right good laugh, coming home 8 hours late, then being put in the doghouse for a month... I bet a significant minority of men would say it wasnt worth it. The difference is that voting Leave wasnt something to be put in the doghouse for0 -
I misunderestimated Boris. He's actually put together a proposal which stands a chance of passing through the house of Commons. I think it helps that he's got the buyoff from the DUP and I assume they were consulted prior to it being released.
The irony is that Sinn Fein would have mitigate the power that the DUP appear to have if they took their seats in the commons. Not because of the numbers, although that would matter, but because the government would have to take their opinions into account. as they do not, the government can, to a certain extent, ignore them.0 -

If the straws in the wind are right then Boris is starting to bounce around in the 295 to 305 box for votes for his Deal, if, indeed, there is a Deal to be had on these lines.

What Johnson has on his side . Many MPs surely must be getting weary and worn down by the last few years .
The public probably in the same place . And the EU are fed up and sick of Brexit and want to move on .
If the EU and UK can sort out the governance part which stops the DUP from having a veto then I’m hopeful of a deal , however of course trying to keep the DUP onside then is another matter .

Exactly. The Commons will vote on the text of an International Treaty not a padded out wish list turned into a press release which is what Boris' document is. Which isn't to say the redrafted WA won't get closer or even pass.

The issue is not that; it's simply that there are a lot of actors with a veto over the process, and a lot of legalese that needs to be checked ahead of signature. (And Article 24 doesn't help with issues like tax.)Freggles said:

If the agreement was finalised now, we would probably make it on October 31st. Realistically, though, we're likely to come to an agreement on about the 18th or 19th, and it will take three weeks to get this into tight legal agreement and through the various parliaments.0 -

The only difference between Mrs May's deal and this one is that the backstop is timelimited to four years unless the Northern Irish wish it otherwise. (Which they will. The reality is, of course, that Northern Ireland would have left the backstop under Mrs May's deal, but never will under this one.)0 -

Of which the DUP has the most votes in Parliamentwilliamglenn said:
Northern Ireland doesn't love it.rcs1000 said:
On the contrary, the EU will think (probably correctly) that Northern Ireland will love a backstop that sees them both in the EU and the UK. There will businesses that setup in the province to benefit from that dual status.nico67 said:
Yes after 4 years it votes whether to stay aligned with the EU or by default moves to the UK rules which are likely to have diverged by then.rcs1000 said:Am I right in thinking the Northern Ireland Assembly will now have some say over the backstop?
Big problem for the EU and Ireland is this effectively gives the DUP a veto . There’s no way they’ll agree to that .
And removing it will therefore always become something for another day.
I would also like to point out that this is almost exactly what I predicted, and which I was poopooed about on here.

The only difference between Mrs May's deal and this one is that the backstop is timelimited to four years unless the Northern Irish wish it otherwise. (Which they will. The reality is, of course, that Northern Ireland would have left the backstop under Mrs May's deal, but never will under this one.)
That’s the difference.0 -
It doesn’t need each EU country parliament as it’s not a trade deal . It only has to be ratified by the EU parliament .rcs1000 said:
The issue is not that; it's simply that there are a lot of actors with a veto over the process, and a lot of legalese that needs to be checked ahead of signature. (And Article 24 doesn't help with issues like tax.)Freggles said:
Could we use article 24 for a technical extension that still takes us out of political membership, if a deal is agreed?rcs1000 said:As an aside, I suspect we will need to have a very short extension even if Boris's deal is agreed. There are a lot of i's to dot and t's to cross from a legal perspective.
I would also estimate that while agreement is moving from possible to likely. It is still only a 50-60% chance. There are still hurdles here, both foreign and domestic.
If the agreement was finalised now, we would probably make it on October 31st. Realistically, though, we're likely to come to an agreement on about the 18th or 19th, and it will take three weeks to get this into tight legal agreement and through the various parliaments.0 -

I think an example of bad faith negotiation would be Jeremy Corbyn's with Theresa May. He said he wanted a deal to leave the EU, but there was literally no deal he would accept.spudgfsh said:

On the contrary, the Irish have had the power in the negotiation with the UK this time around (which is pretty unusual for relations between the two countries), and have used it to their advantage by demanding more than we feel comfortable.
They have stated what they want, and they are sincere in those demands. They know the consequences of No Deal. It's our job to call their bluff (or not).
That's not bad faith.0 -

Check out the comments. Brexit alliance fracturing. Nigel looking like he is over reaching
“Nigel” is too distracted by his hatred for Cummings to think rationally.
It’s the ERG wing of his Brexit party voting alliance that might defect and he has to worry about.
Of course, that does depend on the Spartans coming out for it first.0 -

Are you suggesting some Tories will oppose Boris's deal purely because it may need some Labour votes to get it through. That seems a bit far-fetched! Am I misunderstanding you?Recidivist said:
I always thought that one of May's unspoken objectives was for the Tories to own Brexit. If Labour MPs are crucial to getting it through I'd bet on at least some Conservatives opposing it. Net result - continued Tory strife.dyedwoolie said:0 -
I believe that post-Prorogation the first Parliamentary vote will be on the Queens Speech. If defeated , a VNOC will take place the next day without the Deal having been presented.0
