"Brexit is a process rather than an event," said Jacob Rees-Mogg this morning, as he hints that he will vote for May's Withdrawal Agreement after all.

“MP’s don’t want that”.
And here lies the problem.
Most MP’s have long since forgotten that it’s not about what they want.
I said ages ago that this has been made far more difficult than it needed to be, and that we would probably get sold down the river.
I haven’t changed my opinion.
As far as I’m aware, the point of a vote is to see what the majority want, whether it’s a family ‘shall we have a takeaway and a DVD tonight, or a meal out and go to the cinema’ trivial type of question, or an election or a referendum, and it should be that what the majority want, no matter how small that majority, is the one to be acted on.
Right from the start, Mrs. May has tried to take into account the wishes of remainers and the EU too.
The remainers lost, and who cares what the EU wants? We voted to leave them, so their wishes shouldn’t come into it.
It was the PM of my parents generation who took us into The Common Market, and my parents generation who voted to stay. Now I want to spend the latter part of my life seeing if it’s better living without the overblown undemocratic body that the Common Market became.
I believe it will, and if I’m wrong, then my children's generation can do something about it in the future.

// We can Stop Blaming The Governement Now //
We can still blame the Government, and more specifically Theresa May for the utter shambles of the process so far, and the outcome of no options available.
She has gone into negotions with the EU not to get the best outcome for the Country, but to get the best outcome to save the Conservative Party.
I doubt any consencous will come out of Wednesdays votes (and possibly next Monday) so May can have one more go at getting her rotten deal approved.

Quite apart from the fact that the first sentence is simply wrong -- May took no regard of the Remainers whatsoever, and set a bunch of "red lines" that were all to do with what Leavers wanted -- the second is bizarre. You should care about what Remainers want because they form around half the country (not to mention around 3/4 of Parliament). You should care about what the EU wants because there is no future in which we will not have to deal with them quite extensively.

TTT there is no way that we could remain either. The country would be up in arms if that happened. We had a referendum and we voted , as a country, to leave the EU(personally I voted to remain) . If the government then went against the will of the people, there would be chaos.. democracy would officially be dead.
Deal or no Brexit becomes the only options, only if government abandons other options deliberately, forces those two alone, and admits that they are not interested in democracy and treats it and the rest of us with disdain. It's difficult to see why a government would decide to deliberately cast off all trust in our present system just to spite the people, so one must assume claiming it is so must be some tactic to a different end.
There is no excuse to vote for the anti-Brexit deal just on a promise May will step down. It doesn't change the deal; so anyone voting for it will have opted to thwart Brexit for their own reasons. Any MP claiming to be Brexiteer who does do will have turned into a Remainer. But hints are two a penny, especially in a dirty world such as politics.

In that, at least, I agree with OG. But Naomi, my point is that the nature of the deal owes a lot to Theresa May's own red lines, which in turn were entirely due to what Brexiters wanted. The deal that has resulted is nothing to do, at any stage, with what Remain supporters will have wanted -- which is why so many of them hate it.

It's also worth mentioning that the deal that May brought back does, eventually, see the UK leaving the EU. If it takes longer than you wanted then that's in part because *any* means of leaving the EU would, in reality, not have been quick. Even a "No Deal" exit doesn't solve that problem, because No Deal cannot be a destination.
In other words, as Jacob Rees-Mogg has finally realised but as most Remain supporters had already said, over and over again, leaving the EU is a process not an event. It's staggering that he took three years to realise this, and even more amazing to see OG call him a "Remainer" as a result.

The public vote is constantly changing.
In 2005 it voted Labour. In 2010 it vote Conservative. In 2015 it voted a Conservative Majority, and in 2017 it did not.
A Brexit deal has taken a long time to work out, and unfortunately it is completely rotten. If there was a public vote on it, I doubt many people would support it.
It seems reckless to push ahead with a deal that the public would reject, because the public voted for something else 3 years ago.
