She said it will be March so she will look weak and ineffective if it does not happen in March. I expect it to happen.

I wish she had not given a date and said that she would invoke it when she thought the country is ready. She gave in to pressure there. I also expect a vote in the commons which should be a formality.

The problem I see is that I am not confident they really have a clue what they are doing once it does happen. I don't see much evidence of a strategy at all.

Never.

It can't happen, everyone is starting to realise how bad and damaging it is. I continue to believe politicians will see sense and act in the national interest by blocking brexit forever.
Everyone is starting to realise how bad and damaging it is. Really? Evidence please.

You do wonder if May is hoping that come March she can say "I can't trigger Article 50 due to the ongoing legal actions".

March this year will be over 8 months after the referendum result so she's hardly rushed into it considering her predecessor said he'd invoke it on the 24th June.

I doesn't matter as ECJ will rule it can be untriggered. It's the resulting negotiation and whether it is any good according to british public that matters.

Wouldn't shock me. She's probably secretly hoping for some sort of intervention.

I'm a leaver and even I can see how hopelessly out of her depth she is. Personally I think all major parties should have formed an official exit team that worked independently of the government of the day.

Keep party politics out of it.

Those two sentences are an oxymoron.

After March but during 2017. May's easy ride with sections of the press will run out of steam if she doesn't trigger A50 soon.

The longer she drags it out, the less likely it is she makes it to the next election. Even with the fixed term act she will find it impossible to govern if she carries on like she is.
Theresa May is using the results of shop soiled referendum result as a mandate for her political survival.

Starting to loose trust in her, a cautious never, looking forward to being proved wrong.

So cautious that she looked forward and won the Conservative leadership.

[QUOTdE=Miasima Goria;85016506]They BoE were expecting the EUSSR Nazi superstate to have imposed the Euro by now - that's why the new pound coin is the same size as a one Euro coin.[/quote]

What an utterly foolish and insulting comment from somebody who can have no idea what it was like to suffer under the nazis. Grow up and get some proper education before you make a bigger fool of yourself!
