Personal hidden agendas of Mps is holding up a deal to implement Article 50, according to legal experts.
One lawyer in particular, who is withholding his identity, insists that Mps know exactly how to solve the problem of Brexit, but are to engrossed in their own agendas and how they want Brexit to end. He refuses to identify himself openly for fear of reprisals, (which we doubt), but he is not alone in the legal world who believes Mps are stubbornly refusing to agree Theresa May’s deal because of their own individual and in some cases, joint agendas.
There is no doubt many Mp genuinely see the deal as a recipe for disaster which must not be accepted.

The lawyer told The Eye Of Media.Com:
” This is not about agreeing a deal, it is about what people want and how they can get what they want. There is absolutely nothing disastrous about the deal agreed with the EU , it is the best Britain can get in leaving the EU. Theresa May agreed the deal herself with the EU, and they have modified it the best they know how. They have even expressed their intention for the deal not to be permanent.
It is all a farce , parliament should just deliver the referendum and achieve the will of the people”. They should either accept the deal or leave with no deal”. Other experts believe the proposed deal is unworkable because of the conflict it creates with the DUP, and the potential for the situation to become legally complex and difficult to come out of. Skeptics of the deal say it potentially ties Britain in with the customs union for too long, potentially indefinitely.

LEGAL MECHANISMS
Some other lawyers have said there are legal mechanisms for the Uk to escape any concerns that may exist of being tied indefinitely to the customs union, or suffering any indefinite consequences of a back stop which is designed to be temporary. It depends which lawyer you talk to, and not many so far are willing to put their names on record on a topic as divisive as Brexit. They need to do so all their legal judgement can be weighed up.
Lawyers believe that even various segments of the media have a political agenda in their reporting that may be widely different from the reality of the situation which nobody is certain about, but everyone has an opinion to give. One lawyer quoted television presenter, Piers Morgan, who recently said that ”Theresa May’s heart isn’t really in it[Brexit] because she was a remainer”, suggesting that to be the reason she has failed to convince Mps of her deal.
Morgan’s idea makes sense in theory as a possibility, but this is not backed with evidence. If Mps don’t agree with her deal, what magic can she work? She can’t force them to see her views, but Morgan’s next comment that Remainers are trying to deliberately sabotage Brexit by blocking it is also an interesting probability. One that does well for conspiracy theories, but again, not fact. In fact one lawyer said Piers Morgan can be sued for defamation on that statement, showing her legal analysis can change depending on who is looking at it.
Many members of the public don’t even understand what is going on, and are bored of hearing the same topic on the news on a daily basis. The editorial of this publication . Not many writers or contributors want to touch the topic, and I was present at a thinktank meeting where the importance of politics being taught in primary schools was being stressed as a desirable goal for the future.
.Journalists at the Financial Times, reflected this element in an article this evening that was critical of the prime minister’s leadership in a way that appears to carry some weight logically. They accuse Ms May of rushing Article 50 just to underpin her position and make it the sole property of the Conservative party. The authour of the brilliant opinion piece presents the failure of parliament as being the fault of the prime minister who tries to shift the blame to her Mps.
Opinion is strongly presented here as something of a motive from the prime minister, but the motive could be coming from the Mps too. Some lawyers thin it is, which is why as the Financial Times piece says, it would be good to see what other options Mps have to solve the long and tiresome deadlock.
