The UK is no more ‘ brexiters’ than it is ‘ remainers’ . It is a nation.
If the UK government decides to have closer relations with the EU then yes we will take on more EU rules.
This will be seen as pragmatism not weakness because of the reason that I pointed out in the first sentence…and while this is happening the Scot Nats will be voting Scotland out in the cold , neither in the EU or the UK and having to apply for membership of the EU.
I think that’s why some Scot Nats are desperate to see the UK getting closer to the EU as a failure . 😉

Disagree. It will be a humiliating demonstration of weakness that shows the UK government, politicians and the blob aka civil service lack the nous, competency, confidence and slightest inclination of how to run an independent nation like other

countries all round the world. The civil service and most politicians will show they're addicted to others co-governing their nation and don't have a clue how to run a nation without interlopers telling them what's best for them.

They will show this nation sold its soul to a Franco-German vision over 40 years ago, and became hooked on managed decline taking orders from Brussels.

It would be a fucking sell out.

Imo the only way that the West can compete long term with Asia is to make things as good and as cheap .
I believe that the UK can either be the Singapore on Thames on its own or go down the EU path of slow decline .
It looks like the country has no stomach for the former so it looks like it’s going to be the latter.

with respect , this has been a bedrock of english constitutional law as far back as you can go. No current parliament can bind a future parliament.

That's a different point

I agree no government can stop a later government repealing or amending its Acts but such later government has to be clear it is doing so. The government made no clear amendment of the Act of Union so (much as I hate to say this) this time the DUP were right.

clearly your supreme court disagree

the uk is a multi national state. Its not a nation. Its not homogenous. It doesnt even have a fucking native language FFS . You speak english not british.

As for the nub of your post , its not me pointing out the uk looking weak and getting closer to the eu as a failure. Its your man farage talking about the tory government selling out brexit.

When the ERG and people like farage and tice start screaming about the brexit sell out , are you trying to imply its all one big scottish nationalist plot to undermine little england?

We really are through the looking glass now bentley. blaming the jocks when you crawl back to begging the EU isnt going to save you mate from international ridicule. We will be singing on the terraces everytime we play engerlund no surrender to the EU .The French will be giving you large gallic smiles at the rugby and waving the EU flag .

It will be an absolute hysterical watching it.

The UK is a nation .

Not according to the yookay government , who have consistently described it as a multi national state made up of two countries , a principlaity and a province. Their words not mine.

The has a common language ..English .

You need to work out the difference between lingua franca and native languages. English is the common tongue of many people around the world , 99.9 % of who arent english and dont live in these islands.

My point is all the yookay countries have their native languages , and there is even a native british language which you english people wont use .

Farage isn’t my man but he seems to have the Scot Nats hanging on every word. Ironic eh?

Everytime brexiter politicos like farage shout out about brexit being betrayed and overturned , we , along with the majority of the world , will be laughing out loud as we remind you of what he is saying.

No one blames the Scot’s for anything . They are not important enough.

Apart from when we thrash you at rugby , or want to end the yookay.

Here we have a Scot Nat who whines about the UK leaving the EU and at the same time inventing a situation where the UK is trying to crawl back.

My gripe was scotland being taken out of the eu against our democratic will. you couldnt win the brexit ref in scotland , so used anti democrtic means to take us out while northern ireland got to stay.

Im not inventing a situation where england is crawling back. Im telling you what your own politicos are saying much to your annoyance.

Scotland leaves the UK(and therefore the EU) that would be hysterical..if your mind was that petty.

We will be welcomed back with open arms to our european union , unlike the morris dancing whingers. First up is EFTA , which should take around three months to join.

Little england surrounded by eu states north south east and west must be the stuff of nightmares for your elite. We can see why they are meeting up to overturn brexit.
