I'd say ghere was a very narrow window just after the vote and before Article 50 was triggered.

There was a real fear of Brexit tearing the EU apart if the UK started to block and veto important EU decisions. But that tiny window of almost absolute negotiation strength was shut and bolted tight the very second Article 50 was triggered and the UK lost it's entire negotiation power instantly. I still can't fathom who decided that would be a good strategy. But well... here we are, weeks from b-day and everything is chaos.

Canadian here, I'm just going to put this into the ring: Brexit came to mind when the country was pretty economically healthy and future bumps in the road looked more like growing pains. With a pandemic making the economic future of the UK (and the rest of the world) increasingly uncertain and likely harsher, as well as negotiations having not gone so well up to now, I think that Brexit can only be weaker, if not dropped entirely if the ramifications are found to be too harsh.

[@friendgray1]

Brexit should ALWAYS have been a soft Brexit. No question about it. Brexit and its proponents have divided the UK; nearly half the voters wanted to remain, just over half wanted to leave, and that has steadily switched over in the years since. The only way to have everyone placated (or disappointed, as results from the best compromises) and heal the divide was to have a soft Brexit. That way, leavers get their exit and some of what they wanted, while remainers concede staying in but lose most of the benefits of the EU membership, but not all. Hard Brexit and revoking article 50 once it was invoked should never have been on the table. Brexiteers can lie/move the goalposts however they like, but the narrative that it was solely hard Brexit that people were voting for is simply not true and only widens the divide by reinforcing the ‘Brexit campaigners lied and misled the public to achieve it’ stereotype.

I feel so sorry for the British people. With brexit their country looses the last remnants of its empirial power. In the long run, for us in the EU, it's a good thing. Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Just a quick fact check but thr Brexit party stood at the European parliament elections before the GE in 2019, it woukd have been possible for people to have voted for the Brexit party before voting for the Tories in the GE

[@TLDRnews]

It's a good point and we did consider that - however, it still doesn't stack up. Pretty much every region in the UK voted for the Brexit party by similar amounts in the 2019 European Parlimant Elections. In most regions, the people elected somewhere around 33-50% Brexit Party MEPs (half of Welsh & South West MEPs were BXP for example). So while some of the Red Wall voters will have voted BXP in the European Parliament elections it's still not the strongest correlation there because everyone voted in BXP MEPs. Also I do think it's a little dubious for Farage to compare European Elections and General Elections - they're completely different beasts and of course, the EU focused parties will perform better, so for him to claim that the Tories took 'their' voters is more than a little disingenuous in my eyes - Jack

For the Brexit which actually happens to have majority support, there has to be a hypothetical version of Brexit which has majority support. Since the division between Remainers and Leavers seems to be very close, for this to be the case, the vast majority of Leavers would have to want the same version of Brexit. If the vast majority of Leavers wanted the same version of Brexit, there would presumably be no confusion or debate about what type of Brexit was going to occur. Since such confusion and debate has occurred, it is apparently not the case that the vast majority of Leavers want the same version of Brexit. If that's the case, then there is no version of Brexit which has majority support. If that's the case, then the Brexit which actually happens will not have majority support.

UK professionals are largely in agreement. It is not in the interests to have a trade deal with the EU. This statementment is is easily understood by experts and politions alike. Potentially there are ten different treaty areas which UK and German industry are interested in.We are told that eight of ten agreements could be signed separately in these areas. It is indeed beneficial for politicians to discuss each trade deal separately so they come into force early in 2021. The two agreements which cover the politics of political governence,legal supremecy,soveingty, state subsidies,fishing agreements are all political issues which politically cant be agreed but settled by historic market enterprise will. Why do we want eight trade agreements agreed and siged separately? Simply trade arrangements will change over time as the EU collapses leaving one agreement unstable,inflexable, and confrontational. This is why members of parliment are likely to agree the eight separate trade arranements to provide flexiblity for future trade changes in market conditions. Given the handing out of large amounts of taxpayers money to the Tory far right supporters the country can no longer afford to hand any money over to the EU.The money will be spent on the severely disabled,defense,borders,health and social care as a levellling up exercise to save a Tory wipe out in the next election. Clearly it is a mistake to conclude the present one deal false headline will end in a near future total withdrawl from the collapsing EU as shadow trading and a cold war starts.

You can't fail to love the scene of freaking Nigel Farage of all people accusing other people of being arrogant. The guy is so perfectly protected from the risk of speaking a truth that it is almost a supernatural power at this point. All the same, even he can't help but speak truthfully at some point, out of statistical chance if nothing else. This may well be indeed the start of the end for Boris Johnson's premiership. To the surprise of nobody; there was never any way he could long survive the actual reality of Brexit. That was the whole point of lending him prestige in the first place, although apparently many voters did not get the memo. Brexit will be remembered by history as the time when early 21st century Britain commited high treason against itself. That can't really be helped anymore. What is left to wonder is how, when and at what cost for both sides the EU will eventually rescue its misguided brat buddy again, and what price UK politics will payh for its own immaturity. The Tories are way too tied to Brexit at this point, and they will lose a lot of power and influence in the next few years as the grim reality asserts itself on the apparently unsuspecting British public - but ultimately that was by their own design. I expect a lot of ugly further radicalization of UK politics starting at mid-2021, as the current batch of Brexit-oriented Tories are hung out to dry and some sort of even more delusional right wing movement collects the pieces. Inevitably, an undercurrent of return to sanity will arise as well and start to flirt with the idea of making its own party and/or joining, I assume, the Lib Dems. 2021 will probably end up with a big loss of prestige for the Tories, further craziness coming from Farage and the like, and great opportunity for Labor and the Lib Dems. Hopefully the UK will have grown some modicum of sanity by 2022 or so.

Brexit in Distress? Quick, get a charity song going! Á la "Doctor in Distress". 😜

[@ammornil]

Brexit, that people envisioned, is not achievable in this day and age. Many different sets of reasons were put behind the leave campaign, some of them being mutually incompatible and some being francly impossible. I appreciate your attempts to be open minded. In government we must call things the way they are, though, not the way they could be. And that's all Nigel has been and is doing- focusing on people's disappointment for personal gain. No real solutions ever.

[@physiocrat7143]

The European Union as it is becoming is not the EEC that the British people were led to believe it was when voting to remain in the 1975 referendum. I assume from your name that you are from somewhere like Poland or Czech, and this is part the problem. English Common Law is incompatible with the law systems in the rest of the EU, and the EU's dirigiste policies are alien not just to British and but also to Scandinavian traditions. On top of that, the EU's trade and economic policies, while bad for everyone in the EU, are particularly so for those at the periphery. To judge from comments that come from Germans and Dutch in particular, they just do not understand the effects of geography. Same inside the UK as between London and the rest of the country.

[@Ohne_Silikone]

5:20 hey Farage, if you wanted recognition, you could have taken up responsibility instead of running from it, you coward. But that would have meant you couldn’t continue leaching off democracy now, would it? You have nothing to say. Whatever happens you are equally responsible for starting this and running away as Brexit got real. No one ever credited the first cowards to flee the battleground for the battle that was ultimately won. The only credit you can earn is for the battle being lost.

[@oktal3700]

Farage correction 4: the Tories are not big on trans rights either.

[@vectravi2008]

Interesting to see that the "new" UK Canada trade deal is exactly the same deal that the EU negotiated with Canada. On that basis maybe the sovereign UK should have allowed the EU to to set up the brexit deal for the UK. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@welshskies]

The UK and Canada will continue to trade on EU terms in the short term and a future deal is unlikely to be much different, basically the UK gains nothing from leaving the EU globally and looses a lot when trading with Europe.

[@mrdchc]

I hate it when the presenter feels the need to artificially balance his comments on the many shades of the LEAVE camp by saying that they are many versions of REMAIN. This is just BS. Remain voters wanted to remain in the EU. Sure, they certainly had different views on many other aspects and had different political affiliations, but on that specific issue they had exactly the same view.

[@exsandgrounder]

While there was realistically only one version of remain there were different shades of remain voter- from ones who wanted the UK to adopt the Euro, to those who were happy with things as they were, to those who were perhaps sceptical of the EU but were even more sceptical of the idea of leaving it.

[@HeadsFullOfEyeballs]

"Remain" voters didn't necessarily want to remain in the EU though -- there were also people who voted Remain because while they could see the UK leaving the EU under different circumstances, they didn't want to do it in the way and under the leadership proposed by the Leave camp. Voting "Remain" doesn't mean "I want the UK to stay in the EU forever", it just means "I don't want us to leave right now in the way you're planning".

[@mrdchc]

@@HeadsFullOfEyeballs OK - so the meaning of remain was: "I don't want us to leave right now in the way you're planning" - it's still just ONE SHADE OF REMAIN - you just clarify what that shade looks like.

[@mrdchc]

@@exsandgrounder That's exactly what I meant by "... they certainly had different views on many other aspects" - but as for THIS question in the referendum they simply voted for NO CHANGE - simple.

[@gavinstacey8862]

Back in the early 1970s it probably made sense to allow The UK to join The EC. Now, if The EU, and EU27, compromise at all the contagion will spread. For the moment, I am still legally a UK citizen, I am really tired of this.

I'll answer the two questions in the thumbnail without even watching the video: 1. No - Brexit has already happen.

[@msandersen]

Britain is screwed either way; once they voted Leave, the stage was set for a Brexit of financial institutions that made London an economic centre. That power will probably go to a German city. And the stage is set for the accelerated breakup of Britain itself, starting with Scotland, Northern Ireland has a water boundary all of a sudden, and will probably be second. Even Wales has increased it’s support for independence somewhat since this whole mess.
