> The fact that a 80% remain parliment is supposed to represent a 52% leave population is ridiculous.
Come on now. 544/650 MP ran for a party that had Leave as a Manifesto promise in the 2017 GE.
Yes individual MP could disagree with their party and defy the whip, but that is an overwhelming cross-party majority in favour of leaving.
In comparison, no party ran with a "Remain" outright manifesto, rather with a "Let run the deal against Remain" in a confirmation referendum. Only in the last weeks, Labour has sided with the confirmation referendum, and rejected last week to campaign for remain in that referendum.
> The fact that the supreme court were permitted to make walking away from the negotiation table illegal
That's nonsense. The supreme judged the suspension of Parliament by the PM illegal. It is loosely related to No Deal.
> thereby making it not a negotiation but a discussion of the UK's servitude from this point onward, is a disgrace.
> Your discussing the terms of your slavery.
That's appeal to emotion territory here.
International negotiation like leaving the EU do not have the information asymmetry where leaving the table is a real asset. As advanced economies, the threat of instability or uncertainty is enough to keep both the EU and UK in search of a win-win agreement. In addition, the UK is an important contributor to the EU budget and the USA would only too happy to step in, so it is clearly in a position of strenght ... relative to its geopolical and economic size. A good deal is achievable, just not the cakist deal that was promised.
