My view is that May has to go back to the EU to ask for a longer extension to hold a general election.

I'd prefer a general election taking place while we went through no deal. Maximum chaos.

the sort out, 'no deal', whatever, will be noisy* for eu and uk, and i personally would have preferred whether a remain with a special status, or 'norway-model', eccetera.

nevertheless i personally say with same decision all this drama is beyond, the no deal leave will not be chaos as it has been desribed. it is far, far less dramatic than this.

the drama is daily cooked politics. nor the uk will bankrupt.

there is more substantial doubt about resilience of eu banks rather than uk production, nowadays. to be plain, personally i believe eu has worse..how they say, 'outlook'.

I'm not sure why people think the drama will convince anyone. I mean the original pamphlet from the government during the referendum warned of up to 10 years to recover from Brexit, and it failed to convince back then, I don't see why it will convince now.

There is nothing left to be done really. I merely hope I can earn enough money to retire to an unconcreted part of the country, raise a family and shoot things. But they'll have probably banned firearms by then.

It undermined what it meant to be a family and also normalises such behaviour to future generations.
