It seems to be a deal that no one wants. Will MPs vote for it anyway?
If the Government lose the vote what would happen next. Would May have to resign?

Forgive me, danny, I was speaking metaphorically. What Theland's own grandchildren think of the EU I don't know -- but a significant majority of the younger generation would have preferred to stay in.
Nothing is agreed emmie.

The skullduggery will continue.
"re-submitted to Parliament"
More suggestions of reballoting when someone doesn't like the answer. We're above that kind of deception in the UK. That's EU territory.
OG, I don't think May is above anything, on the contrary she will try anything to get her deal through parliament.
//JIm, how do you know what Theland's grandchildren want? //

Perhaps Jim means that he doesn't think that Theland should be thinking ahead and considering that his grandchildren would eventually have better lives and futures outside the ponzi scheme, and that Theland should be thinking only of his own relatively short term comfort and financial gain. Just like he does.
There's all sorts of talk about whether Leavers and Remainers "knew what they were voting for" or whether they knew of the main issues involved.

One thing is certain in my mind - based on what I heard some younger people say after the vote many of them had no idea what the effect of leaving would be, many of them giving the impression that they believed life as they know it would come to an end.
Oh, you old cynic, you, Togo.

I think it's better for the *long-term* future of *everyone* in the UK that we had stayed (and perhaps still will stay) in the EU. My point is that most of the younger generation agrees with me. I don't doubt that Theland wants the best for his grandchildren, but it is perhaps a shame that he didn't ask them what *they* wanted -- or, at least, by extension, what most of the younger generation wanted.
Jim the youngsters will grow out of wearing EUSSR face paint( just because it upsets their Mam) and look for something more than the Easyjet, Ibiza, Alcopops lifestyle and grow up. Maybe even move out of their bedrooms, and realise that there is indeed a bit more at stake than their own shallow outlook. One that of course designed in their "educational" establishments. We call it maturity. One man's cynic is another man's realist.
Jim //that most of the younger generation agrees with me//
You are presuming a lot. Have you or anyone conducted a poll amongst the young?
yes, and here's a survey on voting in a second referendum: 82% of 18-24 year olds would vote remain.

So kind of their elders to assume they know what their children want better than the children know themselves.
kval, your link wants me to pay $49 to see the stats. but it can't be accurate, can it? only 2 genders? come ooooooooonnnn!!!
Many of the younger generation could not give a .... about Brexit.

Well known fact.
Talbot that's the least accurate thing I think you've ever said, I don't know anyone who is not worried sick by this fiasco who is under 50.
Worried sick?

Why on earth are you worried sick?
mushroom, have a little look at the words alongside the graphs, they aren't hidden on my screen. Save $49!
What they want isn't necessarily right for them. And isn't something elders or others need to guess.

When I was 18 to 24 I was foolish enough to think that staying in an EEC, that I wasn't asked about prior to entry, would be a good thing. One lives and learns.
There's no reason to assume that age correlates perfectly with understanding. You're of course entitled to change your own mind as you grow up, but it's not only young people who wish that we had voted to remain.

It's just another of the many divides in our society that Brexit has painfully exposed.
You would think there were no divides in the rest of Europe and everyone lives a utopian existence.
That's not what you would think at all, but never mind.
