Well then... Theresa may scoring...about 0

Englands parliment doesn't like any of the deals Theresa has offered (sounds familiar)

Is their any reason at all she can't (or won't?) say: Mea Culpa this is a stupid idea. I'm guessing politics.

Ok, if she did issue that mea culpa, what should she offer in its place? Hard exit? Beg to stay in the EU? The latter would have half the UK calling for heee head or similarly important body parts.

Mmm. Good point. Just seems like it'd be better to decare something isn't working that's a pretty big to do-decision rather than do what seems rushing into it, since their as far as I know their's a ton of issues that haven't been sorted. Maybe risk making the rest of the EU mad might be slightly better in this one case, if nothing else sure "loosing polotical face" sucks. No doubt. But is it really THAT important to try to leave the EU as compared to staying?

I haven't kept up with all the ins and outs of it, and I'm on the fence as to whether Brexit is right (and of course, it's none of my business since I'm not a Brit). That said, I think the EU has more to worry about from GB not being a full member than does GB. I think it would be in the EU's best interest to not piss off GB too much, and so they should be patient. IMHO.

From my reading of the brexit mess, It appears that there are two solutions:

1 - A UK/EU trade partnership. Most brexitists consider that a huge fail and would likely hamstring UK's recent trade deals with Fiji and Papua New Guinea.

2 - Unification of Ireland. This sounds impossible but several articles I've read is that it may more likely that it may seem! Indeed, several surveys suggest it could work. Why? For one reason: The Republic of Ireland had the fastest-growing economy in Europe! This is a good read, even poetic in parts:

Compelling.
