    There's not enough pro leave MP's.

    It wouldn't even get to that stage of "do I believe in remain or leave?". Come on... They have pretty much unanimously (I think Tim Farron is the exception) stated that the public vote must be upheld.

    So why are the tories voting for remain supporter Theresa May who says the article certainly shouldn't be implemented this year ( meaning if at all).
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    I've not seen that myself, but if it is correct:

    How on earth have you got from "this year" to "if at all"?

    It seems quite prudent to get your position sorted, what you will ask for, what you will concede before you get to the negotiating table.

    Will take time to assemble a team.

    She stood on a platform that said staying in the EU is the best for Britain, she can't leave, she is a remain campaigner and she is being voted because she was on the 'right' side.

    Its interesting seeing May say no implementation of Article 50 this year, because I'm not sure if 2017 and early 2018 are going to look any more attractive with a 2 year negotiation and a 2020 General Election assuming an early one isn't called.

    French and German elections in the next 12 months will allow a new remain deal, hopefully.

    French are more sceptical than the UK about the project. :eek:

    The Euro's might be on but there's plenty out on strike or taking industrial action still.

    Translated as "I'm going to ignore what you've said because you don't gamble.".

    I seldom gamble (I do have a soft spot for taking a bet when I have strong grounds to believe the odds are wrong, ironically Leave fell into that category and I didn't take it), but have been known to dabble with matched betting.

    Hardly a gamble if you're sure you're right. And if you're not sure you're right, fair enough, but it would be nice if you would try a little harder to stop asserting your POV as a fact.

    I'm standing by my pre-referendum prediction: "Brexit will lead to a recession"

    There was always the possibility anyway. ;)

    Global stagnation exists already. With economic inequality causing unrest as well.
