I'm definitely not a politics expert (or even close to it) but do you think they're playing this well or badly strategically?
They could have been out of the EU by now and since then softer options are coming into play ,more and more (Customs Union, Norway, Delays, Revoke, Peoples Vote, etc.)
Still "No deal" is on the table though - so they have been somewhat successful, like the spectre at a really **** feast. Seems like they are greater than the sum of their parts politically but only really because the snap election backfired.
What you all reckon?

Any deal is for the Eu's benefit.

Tell me how they could have been out of the EU ?
You wont answer this question. |
|
By:
No Deal is basically what we voted for and remains our best option.
|

I wondered at that as well IS.
They could have been out of the EU by now - you need to explain that Richie. |

they have failed. I don't blame JRM for trying to out the nutcase removed 3 months ago; at least they made an effort, but were ultimately badly advised. Molly Robbins probably had his hand in that as well. The longer they go on crying in their real ale; & doing absolutely nothing, the more they will have failed, until they are completely forgotten. I for one am extremely underwhelmed & disappointed with them
|

By:
And your point is Scandi?
|
|
By:
never heard no deal before the vote
easiest deal in the history of easy deals is what i remember. erg dont have a majority so they have played their hand well to convince so many folk they voted for what they tell them to say. |
|
By:
Didn't they have the numbers to get May's deal through at the second attempt?
My question was, really, do you think they're an efficacious group or not? I'm genuinely unsure myself. |
|
By:
time will tell
|
|
By:
erg would have been close to getting mays deal through
but thats not what they want, they want more, and as mays deal still remains on the table, they have not overplayed their hand...yet |

By:

I'll correct that for you Donny never heard of any deal before the vote When people voted they voted to leave the EU. That's what should have happened and we should have left with WTO terms. |
|
By:
easiest deal in the history of easy deals doesnt sound like no deal....
|
|
By:
I never seen WTO terms on the paper either.
|
|
By:
Why would it Mouse?
Was a simple yes or no question. Bit like a ballot paper for elections. None of them include any other info. All the other stuff came in the various government issues. Was quite simple really. |

For the thickos like me.

By:
ok aka because it went over your head
and remains our best option |

*and remain's our best option

Dunno, is it the teletubbies?
|

By:
most of the ERG are right wing filth
|
|
By:
Who are the exceptions?
|
|
By:
from wiki
Membership of the ERG is notoriously secretive and an 'official list of members' has not been published hmmm, wonder what else they get up to in secret. |
|
By:
Probably just the usual japes like nazi themed fancy dress gatherings.
|
|
By:
In the period leading up to the EU referendum 10 members of ERG acted in an official capacity for Vote Leave; Michael Gove
 Iain Duncan Smith Liam Fox Chris Grayling Priti Patel, John Whittingdale Ann-Marie Trevelyan, Bernard Jenkin Steve Baker and Douglas Carswell |
|
By:
may i suggest they check their members credentials before admitting them to the club
|
|
By:
sorry, missed out James Cleverly
|
|
By:
Has Priti been silenced?
|
|
By:
Very low profile currently.
|
|
By:
Whereas the likes of Fox & Rudd worm their way back to the cabinet in no time.
|
|
By:
if you have any queries about why the ERG do naff all; look at that list, the other members most of you won't know
|
|
By:
Priti is still active & about. And a damn sight more trustworthy than the rest of that poxy list
|
|
By:
I see you merit Whittingdale with only a single
, surely he is a character evocative of considerably greater pathos? |
