What concession do you want the EU to give? Did you read the article? The British parliament rejected this deal because it keeps the RoI-NI border open while the Breciteers want a hard border. But a hard border gors against the good Friday agreement that the UK signed. What do you want the EU to concede on the Irish border issue?

No. If the UK revokes article 50 then things carry on as before March 2017

The EU said the UK can leave however the UK needs to abide by the Good Friday agreement that the uk signed in the 90s pledging that the Irish border would be open. The EU has no problem with an open border. But the Brexiteers do...

How would it male the UK a colony of the EU? The deal gave the UK until 2020 to hash out a trade deal with the eu and it would have been free to carry oit other trade deals as well. The Irish border had ti be open as that’s what the uk agreed in the good Friday agreement

Err... Did you read why parliament rejected it? Hint it’s nit for the reason you stated. The communist Labor wants to set up a leftist state and the Dup wants a hare irish border.

How will it become a colony of the EU? Oh and there is no British Empire. It was disbanded under US pressure in the 40s-60s

You are correct. I do not understand how Brexit can be harmful.

Sigh. Did you read the reason fot the rejection? It’s primarily over the Irish border. The UK signed the good Friday agreement in the 90s pledging to keep the border open. Now it wants ti renege on that deal. But the EU said the Brits wouldn’t be allowed to do that to the Irish

I did not know that Parliament could say “never mind” by a simple majority vote.

Since they can, I think they will.

Right. It’s the extension requiring EU approval that I was thinking of.

This is where the British system of having to be an elected MP to stand for Leader of the Party to run for Prime Minister sucks. They’re a bunch of clowns and the fact Jeremy Corbyn’s victory as Labour leader was hailed as an outsider achievement is quite funny given he’s been an MP for 35 years.

If you have to ask 3 times, I can’t help you.
Go ask someone else 3 times and see if they will help you.
