We’ve got years of this to go, unfortunately.

Anecdotal but I know people who voted Leave who are as bored with this as I am and don’t care anymore. I think most people whatever their persuasion are just sick of it.

Even I will admit, Theresa May’s Brexit sounds less appealing than actual Brexit, because as idiotic as I’m aware this argument sounds, at least with Brexit we can form new trade deals (eventually) - or basically reach the same benefits we already have by forming different deals (but can we? I don’t know, I haven’t got an Economics qualification) - yeah, different; not better than what we’ve already got, which renders the whole thing fucking pointless - what a bunch of good for nothing thickos the people of this country are. The figures from the Bank of England only tell you what No Deal will look like assuming we carry on without new deals tbf (which probably sounds very moker). Bizarre how I’ve come to adopting this stance but there we go, in the same way that Brexiteers are now saying that remaining in the EU is better than Theresa May’s Brexit.

Tl:dr - a small part of me doesn’t mind anymore if Brexit is just done and dusted so we can rid ourselves the mental illness of just thinking about it if nothing else.

Don’t be so pessimistic. This is probably just a relatively minor strand in the overall build up to a huge world war which will obliterate all western institutions and lead to the necessary formation of a post-Brexit, post-EU even, possibly even post-civilization society.

Don’t listen to him, 'lossal. If you want a world war, we’ll have a world war.

Idea for a film: the public across the globe try to have a secret world war without any politicians noticing.

i could envision lots of dirty little wars in happening in western countries at some point in the next 20-40 years, like what is happening in france/spain/USA feels like a prelude in many ways. where the line between rioting and urban insurgency becomes blurred. bombings, assassinations, etc. and maybe more traditional proxy wars between powers happening elsewhere, like in syria atm. but i think full on stalingrad style wars are pretty much finished now, what with nukes and all.

it feels like brexit and trump have made us all very fatalistic, which is understandable but bad. we need good energy guys, come on.

Why don’t we have a two-stage ballot: first, leave or remain; then, if the result of that one is leave, May’s deal, no deal or…something else?

I mean if there’s a 2nd referendum of course I’m going to vote Remain. It’s actually the fact there’s a small sliver of hope that Brexit won’t happen which is killing me (which I suspected was always inevitably going to be the case anyway, because it’s too difficult to implement and get any consensus on how we Brexit). If we definitely know over the next few months/year Remain can’t happen then yeah… Brexit just needs to be got over with so at least we can move on.

Currently we don’t know and that’s we these are such frustrating, mentally exhausting times.

Because people will argue that we’ve already had the first part.

This thread’s pretty big, and it isn’t autumn any more.

Maybe we could retract article 50 to give us more time, then have a referendum on whether to have another referendum, make sure it needs a super majority and when no definitive answer is given chalk it down as a learning experience and agree not to talk about it again.
