Hadn’t really seen the house price thing before, seems like something that might get people round to a remain side. People absolutely shit themselves when their house gets devalued

More relatable though I guess

this is all the proof anyone could ever want to the statement ‘humans are non-rational decision-makers’

Is this a poll??

I’d be wary of polling mps and expecting representative answers or even truthful ones (which sort of mp is gonna bother to respond to this??)

Guardian live blog if you want more details

Is there a deadline for a deal? I assume that, as things stand, the EU will want to start implementing the hard border infrastructure on Ireland at some point prior to the 29th, so that they’re ready (or at least on the way to ready) to put it into use from then on?

"house prices will fall " is more relatable than “you will have no food”?

#6380

theres no details on how many mps they asked, or how they actually asked them

According to the report it is a survey of 100 MPs with Leave MPs being outnumbered by roughly two to one.

I’d say for a certain demographic then definitely.

They can imagine the uncertainty of losing value in their home, or may have already even experienced stuff like negative equity.

Lack of food is something so alien to them they won’t contemplate it.

I’ve definitely flip-flopped on the issue, but dreading the idea of second referendum now.

With no economic reasoning to be found for no deal brexit it’ll just be a full on nationalistic fash campaign of “do what’s right for your country and sell it down the river”. Would inevitably win and then there’s no weasling out of it.

No entirely clear there’s any way of weaselling out of it anyway.

#6385

Because there’s no public mandate for a no deal Brexit

#6386

eh? That still doesn’t mean there’s a way of avoiding it.

Yeah, don’t want to pile on but it’s a legal provision. It literally doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, it’s whether anything is done to stop it

(Sorry)

I’m not saying of avoiding Brexit entirely.

However, as it stands it’s perfectly legitimate to extend Article 50, perfectly legitimate to arrange any kind of “soft” Brexit".

If you give it to the public again and they vote for crashing out of the EU with no deal, you’ve really got no wiggle room at that point, and nothing left but for the country to set itself on fire.

It’d be legitimate, but how’s it going to happen? Can’t see May/the tories choosing those options over no deal.

Exactly, as a bloc they are extremely ideologically opposed to remain or soft brexit, committed to brexit of a relative hardness, and (on this scale) ambivalent to a no deal.

I like having popular tweets from accounts I follow show up at the top, cos I only go on it now and then, but I hate having tweets from randomers show up cos someone I follow liked it or just follows them. Can you turn off the latter while leaving the former on?
