I see no reason why the DUP will support it, save for another shake of the magic money tree anyway.
This close to bonfire night might see some fireworks warfare...
My entire family are East Londoners who migrated to deepest Essex. My grandparents were German and Irish yet still immediate and extended family voted to leave.
Obviously a lot of Remain voters are keen to block the deal which is understandable - my partners says , 'why don't they just cancel the whole thing.' Well sadly Brexit isn't a ticket, and democratically the only way forward is a deal if we're going to be honest with ourselves. Noone's ever going to be 100% satisfied, look at even simple questions you'd think would be popular like the Crouch End traffic trial seems to cause a disproportionate hullabaloo.
Democracy can be a bugger and land us with results we don't want, but I can't see an option that doesn't break us all apart except a deal right now.
The deal as it is will cause an enormous "break us all apart" Being in the EU is vastly superior from an economic point of view. Scotland will vote in a Indy vote to leave the Union and NI will have a border vote.
It would just be simpler if England just left the UK and then go an negotiate a trade deal with the EU and what is left of the UK.
Hopefully the EU will wait to the very last minute on 31 October and then grant a 1 week extension if necessary so that there can be a vote and then we can all more on to stage 2.
Constantly trying to frustrate the original result is perpetuating the problem which wouldn't go away if there was a 52/48 vote for remain in a second referendum. The problem that the EU caused itself by not dealing with Camerons requests properly and being set up with a built in democratic deficit and being run by federalist extremists hell bent on a united states of Europe run by an unelected comission and a European parliament which cannot propose laws for debate in its own chamber.......etc etc. Even Verhofstad has openly supported the idea of creating a European Empire with a European Army. A lot of remainers feel uncomfortable about all of that.
I feel that the extremists now are on the Remain side, not the Brexit side. And that's saying something!
Obviously it's your opinion that we should stay - but people have the complete opposite view - possibly even more than half the country in fact. So in essence, both you as a Remainer and @grenners as a Leaver will have to 'suck it up' and accept a deal that's never going to be perfect.
If it keeps on getting blocked, postponed or even stopped entirely, then I'm genuinely worried about the message it says to voters who put their faith in the vote, expecting it to be enacted, to then be told by the establishment (and let's be honest it's generally the establishment) that it's impossible.
Ideally we would not be in this position and it would all be laa dee da, but it's not and we all need to make a compromise or we're heading towards a Charles I situation.
An interesting side effect is that the Hornsey and Wood green seat is now a marginal because of labours position on all this
