• Some remain voters may not understand deal consequences and vote deal anyway.

    Would you not need to be extra thick to vote for the 'deal' if you're actually pro-remain and you're given that option?!

  • Some people just want it to be over, and may not read the whole deal and think maybe a compromise is better for everyone than getting Remain.

    Not that there is any pleasing the uninformed/foaming at the mouth Brexiter.

    The true ideologists won't change anyway, but I don't think they are a majority. They probably say the Remainers are thick... ;)

  • It's just really a fundamental problem, this. There is no 'compromise' that would actually work.

    It reminds me of a thread about a decade ago on a forum about historic sailing ships, where there was some disagreement over how long some 18th century vessel actually was - one guy said something like 21.5m, based on some set of old plans, the other guy was of the opinion that it must have been 25m or so, based on some other plans. These are people that build wooden models of those sailing vessels, from scratch, so they are both extremely anal about such things, and they have the patience to argue this out over literally years.

    In any case, at some point the mods tried to calm the waves a bit and suggested a compromise... and much like May with the current 'deal', this was shot down eagerly from both sides, with the prevailing argument being "compromise how, just average the numbers? That way, it's just guaranteed to be wrong..."
