Meenzer 14122 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The fact that I'm even thinking to myself "...still can't imagine Corbyn leading the negotiations though" probably speaks volumes for how the election is going to turn out despite the above clusterfuck.

Dr Gloom 19987 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) The fact the EU leaked the entire details of a private dinner conversation, in which the PM is made to look naive, deluded and, well, a bit thick, doesn't bode too well for negotiations.

ewerk 26727 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 It shouldn't come as a shock. The Brexiteers have to realise that it isn't going to be the cake walk they envisage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27347 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 That dinner was just a ploy in pre-negotiations from May. It starts off with willy waving then phase 2 is putting fingers in your ears shouting 'Strong and stable leadership - I'm not listening - strong and stable leadership - I'm not listening!'

Park Life 70 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) When Le Pen wins the Italian banks will collapse, the euro will go into free fall and there won't be an EU left to deal with/or they will panic and give us a whatever deal we want. It doesn't matter what these people say the only thing that matter now is France. Edited May 1, 2017 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19987 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I think in that scenario, all bets are off. Don't think Le Pen will do it though. It'll Be close but macron should be able to rally just enough of the remaining voters to keep her out. Edited May 1, 2017 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought she stood a good chance, but the centre is doing everything it can here and I'm not sure disillusionment is quite high enough yet.

PaddockLad 14793 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Agree with Parky, Le Pen wins and its the real start of the end of the road for the EU. Which I don't really have a problem with. I do have a problem with the quasi-fascists who have led the movement though. Farage and Le Pen are fuckin revolting people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 You've got to hope for the Le Pen win for selfish reasons at this point. Unlikely though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26727 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 ''Theresa May says she will be a "bloody difficult woman" towards European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker during Brexit talks.'' Well that's exactly the sort of tone that bodes well for negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 She has no idea what it means to do that though. No idea when to apply it, when to appease, and generally is poorly informed on all related matters. Juncker is going to fucking murder her.
