Brexit Delayed Until 2021

[Gromit]

The British public have voted, so why the delay ?
Is it:
1. May's heart isn't in it and will be gone by the next election. Leaving someone else to tidy up the mess
2. An admission that our Trade Negotiators are useless and 3 years time is beyond them, and they need 2 extra years to catch up.
3. She is too busy trying to save her own neck than concentrate on what is best best for the country.
4. May is the wrong person at the wrong time to be PM.
5. We are all f******ed

The UK, perhaps, should be clearer about what it's single market goal should be too. The single market members ought not have UK market access without paying for it. We ought to point out also, that if one's income has an unanticipated decrease due to a total inability to forecast possible risk futures and plan for them, then one needs to compensate by rebudgeting and cutting back, or alternatively borrowing funds as an investment for the future. What one ought not do is try to mug whoever it is one is abusing as the scapegoat for one's predicament.

OMG Brexit delayed until 2021, or never . OMG the one person on here I feel so, so sorry for is TGT.

naomi I am not doom mongering, I now know for certain that all we will get will be a 'Brexit' in name only, all will remain the same.
Migrants from the EU will still be allowed in but will just have to register with their local authority. The ECJ will still be the ultimate arbitrator for anything to do with the 50% of our import and export business that is with the EU.
No matter what a few on here think we will not be able to replace all our EU imports and exports within a few months of leaving the EU.

Congrats Vichy Britain.

Brexit delayed until 2021 , that is not such bad news as it seems, look at it like this , just a few months on from that date, it will be 2022 and there will be a General Election.
The Conservative Party will be out of government , Brexit will be kicked into the long grass, and we will all live happily ever after,

[Zacs-Master]

So, Brexit by 2021 and an election in 2022. How does that make equate to Brexit being kicked into the long grass?

[youngmafbog]

Gullible was schooled by Ms Abbott.

[gulliver1]

Quite simple Zacs ,because we will still be in the EU by the time the next election takes place, I am fully aware that the thought of this upsets a lot of the blues on here
but, C'est la vie.

[dannyk13]

If the EU's reaction to our proposals does not change then we will be out in 2019.

[Old_Geezer]

If you've Brexited by 2021 how can you still be in the EU in 2022 ?

Anyway 2021 is far too late a suggested date. The rules said 2 years. No need to extend/delay that.

[Zacs-Master]

But you said Brexit would happen by 2021. Are you now saying it won't? You seem to be mightily confoozd.

I think the direction things are moving in suggests that May will abandon the "No deal is better than a bad deal" position -- she's just sticking to it now, partially, because it is politically suicidal to suggest that staying after all might be the best thing.

The government has been tasked with Brexit and they have a responsibility to carry it out, but I wonder if there's a great deal of wavering. This latest speech represents a ceding of ground, and it's as likely as not that it's because the EU's positions are actually reasonable after all, and it's taken this long for May et al to recognise that.
