Another Prime Minister Couldn't negotiate a better Brexit deal.

... Apart from maybe the Norway option, which involves staying in the Single Market and customs union.

Yanis Varoufakis, an ex Greek finance minister and economics professor, who knows about negotiating with the EU:

More details about why its wrong to expect another leader to negotiate a fantasy Brexit:

A new PM is not going to fix Brexit. To exit, simply by waving bye was a unicorn. People either did not understand what they were voting for, or believed in unicorns.

Theresa May trotted out a retired horse, glued an ice cream cone on its nose bridge, and presented it as the unicorn.A new PM will be doing the same.

Time to revote, with nearly 55% now against Brexit.

@Northwest it's just you use the same language as him lol. He's one of the best in mainstream but that's not saying much. He is still pure establishment.

Nah, we can watch parliament. Listen to when corbyn starts talking. The jeering really ramps up

@gol979 I use the same language as him? Not sure that means...

John Oliver is a comedian with a social message. I loved him on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and I still think he's great. I am talking about airing footage in a manner that might cast doubt upon the “dignity of the House”. Though her comment was satire on its own.
Even Greece (a country that has been screwed completely by the EU) were smart enough not to exit. The Brits made a mistake. Time to accept that and back out

I think yanis speaks a lot of sense but I don't think you can democratise the eu from within as he is suggesting. I hope diem25 will pick up some votes but I doubt that it will make much of a difference

@Burnley123 I disagree. The eu have shown their true colours. Even with Italy a few weeks ago. Also, it must be both the Tories and eu that have insisted on the laws to be passed on state aid, which is basically taking back sectors into the public ownership. There are good things about the eu but we can improve on every aspect, barring freedom of movement

@gol979 I don't think lexit is a tenable project or that corbyn could negotiate a much better deal. I wish I was wrong.

@Burnley123 as you were then? Personally I'm not down with that lol

Face it--Brexit was a disaster from Day One. I've believed all along that the best course of action was to cancel it and move forward. I agree that another PM isn't going to be able to do better.
