The healthy thing for both parties to do now would be to bury their animosities and focus on the future prospects for a special economic cooperation zone among equals.

Why limit ourselves to 'surviving' and 'muddling through' though when we could be doing so much better than that?

PS the UK has only existed since 1801.

Johnson's Brexit deal passed.

However it has now been suspended due to the timetable bill not passing.

The Government may wait to see what they can negotiate with the EU, however in terms of a short extension of a few weeks, it's not really going to be a problem. In fact the EU have some sympathy for Johnson, and ,acron and others have praised him.

A longer extension would mean Johnson will call a General Election, something which he would have done after securing Brexit anyway.

Johnson is ahead in the polls, and people are gunning for Corbyn's Labour which has defied democracy and a general election and has refused to answer to the British people.

One thing is now clear though and that is Brexit is now most certainly going to happen.

Where do you think the majority in Parliament will come from for a second referendum considering it voted tonight for the second reading of the bill to facilitate the UK leaving the EU ?

Once the general public figure out the the withdrawal Bill just leads to 10 years of messing about support is only going to go further down.
