"No one wants an election!"

Well fair's fair.

That said, I would need more than 4 words - my sense is that you have quite a few marshmallows going on!!

This change has barely begun, much too soon to say that it has established a new direction. Wishful thinking on your part perhaps.


Of course he could play the veto card. Although of course the threat is always better than the actuality.

While having trade between Europe and the UK as free as possible is of vital interest to us, the trade talks have not even begun yet.

The Brexiteers ascendancy will not last very long.
 
Well cremeegg I am not going to try and match you in the political forecasting department - still smarting from The Donald and I didn't call this latest spat (subject of the OP) either. All the same I think we will finish up with something much less than public expectation though it will be dressed up to suit all sides. There is no way we will get away with crashing the car even if we have a hand on the steering wheel.

Well put.

We don't even want to crash the car. A no-deal hard Brexit would affect Ireland very badly, worse even that the Brits themselves probably. But that will be decided in the next phase. Now is our time of maximum leverage, when the next phase comes all the rest of the EU 27 will have their vital interests at stake as well.
