But neither the Tories or Reform are in a place that would ever allow that to happen, so we're left with the 'reasonable' Right, who don't appear to have any representation at the moment, because it seems like there is no pro-EU party anywhere to the right of the Greens ?
"no pro-EU party anywhere to the right of the Greens" They're called the Liberal Democrats
So can you please tell Ed Davey that, as he seems not to have got the Memo ? Not allowing us to have our Freedom of movement back, and so not rejoining the Single Market until "the rest of our Immigration System has been sorted out" does not a happy Rejoiner make ...
Plenty of nativist right parties have become pro-EU. Absolutely no reason that can’t happen in the UK.
But can we afford to wait, and tbh, why should we ? Because if we are required to wait until there is full agreement, then all Farage/Trump/Putin have to do is keep chucking enough cash at whoever will keep the brexit flame alive, to
screw the rest of us, and the EU, 'forever' ... So I don't think it's a crazy idea to negotiate a rejoin 'now' that gets around that democratic 'deficit' by including a strict set of parameters to govern any attempted 'brexit 2.0'. So requiring
a binding referendum, run to international standards. that results in a minimum 2/3rds majority, followed by a confirmatory referendum would be a start. No-one wants the mess of the last brexit, so let's not allow our system to be gerrymandered again.
Exactly. Orban is substantively more pro EU than most of the pre 2016 Tory party and rhetorically no more anti-EU than William Hague! Orban will never willingly leave the EU!
I think Viktor just wants to subvert the EU as much as he possibly can without being chucked out, and losing their money.
Correct Which is still a “wanting to be in the EU position”
