In The Nation's Overall Interest, Should All The Parties Join Together, So As To Get The Best Deal With Europe?

[anotheoldgit]

After all it effects us all be us Tories, Labour, LibDems etc.

[Old_Geezer]

Get real. One party (apart from UKIP) hasa taken up the exit mantle, or appears to be, the others seem to pay lip service at best, and apparently would prefer to cripple it. Letting spoilers into a position to wreck havoc is in nobody's interest.

[Old_Geezer]

... HAS ...

[Kromovaracun]

Yes, it would probably be for the better. It will also never happen.

Theoretically yes, but the problem crosses party lines.

Within the Conservative and Labour parties, you have MPs (and supporters) who favour different flavours of exit.

There is no single conclusion as to what is best for the country, therefore it's impossi...

...no, I can't go on without saying, affect not effect.

I'm sorry, I just...couldn't.

[anneasquith]

No, let the Tories do the job they were elected for ( if they can )

[Garaman]

All in one party can't even join together so fat chance of that.

[Kromovaracun]

It does seem especially strange given that the two major parties had such similar policies on Brexit in the last election. They still won't do it though.

Seems you are affected with the correction bug, or do you just do it to create some kind of effect?

[EDDIE51]

affect and effect are frequently confused but the meanings are very different . So it is important to correct if you spot the wrong use.

I apologise for the temporary thread derailment.

[sp1814]

...but I'm no better.

I only properly understood its and it's in 2015.

[sp1814]

Again, sorry.

[EDDIE51]

We already have the Conservatives and the DUP joined together!
The Lib Dems and the SNP want to remain in the EU.
So that only leaves Labour who are split 50/50 over in or out plus the few minor parties.

It's not that important. We all knew what he meant.

Apology accepted sp.

That's the whole point Eddie, the people have voted out even though the PM wanted to stay in, so surely just like her the 'remain' party members should now join in and work together so as to get what's best for the whole population of these Isles.

[-Talbot-]

Corbyn and McDonnell should be round the table as they now appear to be the most ardent Brexiters.

[ludwig]

Even if they could agree on what 'the best deal' actually means, they wouldn't even admit it, let alone co-operate to achieve it.

The only time we had a coalition Govt working co-operatively in the nation's overall interest was during WW2.

[Old_Geezer]

its and it's obey a daft rule, that I often ignore. A door "owns" it's own handle, never agreed with someone deciding there is not to be a possessive apostrophe.
