Brinkmanship is pretty inevitable in this situation and there are are least two major ones still to come (the period between the Dec vote and March 2019, and when we approach the end of the transition if we have one)


We have lots of special interest groups and it is simply going to be the case that they try everything to get what they want, including threatening to stop any agreements at all.

As to "The clearly stated wishes" - I think there was very little clarity, but there is nothing to be gained by revisiting that particular rabbit hole.

Will things turn ugly? I don't know what you mean by that. Are you talking about in Westminster parliamentary shenanigans or on the streets?
