Politicians in the UK and the law

[Eric the Half a Bee]

You simply cannot expect the PM to inform parliament of the expectations of the UK in negotiations before we even start. It is like showing a hand of cards to all the players and then starting to bet.

Not really. That's almost suggesting the UK has a rabbit in its hat that it can pull out to get all/most of what it wants. Most of the main issues and agreements seem crystal clear - e.g restrictions of movement mean no membership of the single market. Anyone thinking the UK can negotiate a situation where we can have the penny and the bun are living in cloud cuckoo land.
