Not a fair comparison. The U.S. presidential election is scheduled to take place every four years.
Yes, that was my point. You're the one who brought up President Obama and the U.S. presidential elections.

If you make a decision, and then realize it's a bad decision, do you just continue on your original path anyway? Because, oh, well, you made a bad decision. Got to continue down the bad path and see it through, even though the option to change your mind and reverse course exists. That is a supremely stupid position to take.

Parliament is the whole show right now. And they have absolutely no idea what the hell they're doing. There is no one who can dispute that with a straight face. They are leading the country off a cliff, but you don't believe the people who live there should have a say in if they want to go over or not?
Let's see what the actual will of the people is right now, before they take this irreversible plunge. In light of the cluster**** this has turned into, what would be so terrible about that?
Well, to the leavers it would be terrible, because they would most likely lose a second vote, which they're well aware of. So yeah, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead before anyone can stop them. And then like Boris, they will all run away and deny responsibility for what follows.
Obama was a very real part of BRexit. He was asked by Cameron to make a speech to the British to scare them to vote against it. This was the result....
So what I posted is very relevant since the same nonsense is being spewed up again today. You are posting about Trump Supporters i.e. simple TDS. Has nothing to do with this topic.
And Trump - who's called himself "Mr Brexit" - ISN"T?
Heck he BRAGS that he gave Brexit advice to Theresa May.
Face it. Donald Trump and the Brexit folks are two peas in a pod.

The DUP threw everything including the kitchen sink at May today. It's clear they will never vote for the May/UK deal. And they are infuriated at what has happened this week.
IMO, there's no precedent for what is happening now. And now that the EU has reversed itself (not surprising) and started to extend the dates, this could go on for a very long time. There's no longer any sort of hard stop out there. Both sides have removed it.
i.e. Article 50 is still in force, but there is no longer a hard, we can't cross it deadline. Politicians in the EU and the UK have shown their utter contempt for what the people were promised and which they voted for. It will go down as one of the biggest betrayals in political history.

Just more evidence that if you don't THINK THINGS THROUGH before you vote for something, you'll end up with a MESS. Folks in the UK voted for Brexit with no plan whatsoever for HOW to actually MAKE IT HAPPEN - and we are seeing the results.
Pretty predictable actually.

Next week is going to be interesting. None of the votes appear likely to pass, except for the unconditional 2-week extension to April 12. Not one. But the default is still exiting the EU on April 12, 2019 with no deal. So if nothing passes, as expected, then that is what will happen.

21 days to go. Tick tock.
That's just it. The EU said as late as yesterday morning, they would not grant an unconditional extension. Then they turned around and did just that.
There's no longer any hard exit time to this. They can just keep changing the rules day after day now that they have tossed out the time limit as stated in the Lisbon Treaty.
