Jeez, Eddie Redmayne has aged.

I was actually more interested by the kid sitting behind his right shoulder in the close up camera. Don't know if he's high or just bored but jesus what a curious dude...

How is it possible that a Politician demonstrate so much common sense?

The more I watch Rory, the more I hope he becomes the next PM.

That's maybe the best speech I've ever heard at the Union. Could not be more opposed to the deal, but Good Lord.

great speech, contrary to what a lot of some crude and rowdy comments down here suggest

I may support a confirmatory vote, but that was a brilliant speech.

I'm more likely to listen to Rod Stewart. BTW Oxford University is the one that Dianne Abbott didn't attend.

This is this guys generation...not a hint of populism and raising the debate

A brilliant speech, by Mr. Rory Stewart, what an analogy and remedies he has a passion for Brexit. A great person and politician who should lead our country with his realism and principled views.

Rory is very resonable guy who do not have chance to become a leader in unreasonable Country.

I like this man. His speech is sort but powerful. The key of Democracy is the people. They can't lie about this one.

Rory is a very good orator. He gave an experienced analysis of the politics between Nigel and Andrew.

What a great speaker, says it like it is

Weird guy in the background over his shoulder

Really hope Rory gets active in politics again !

oh get to the point already

Excellent idea, to broadcast this from the O.U. Rory for PM!

rory is brlliant. pragmatic, honourable, individualistic and highly intelligent, wouldnt mind seeing him in nr 10 one day, still we need to leave before

The most reasonable, principled and nuanced speaker on the modern political stage. His creative problem solving, combined with his potential to unify this country and lead the cordial charge to a better Britain has genuinely convinced me that there may be no better leader for post brexit Britain.

Excellent summary of the position

He borrowed that suit!

What is his argument for Brexit? All I heard was his view on everyone arguing for Brexit. This is supposed to be a debate for and against Brexit, not a characterization of the people arguing for.

......Aaaaand he convinced me.

Brexit will affect the regions outside London and the southeast in a gradual process ..overtime they'll become even poorer...the wealth disparity will become even greater with even more transfer going to London...

I like the speach

where's the cheese gromit

Rory why did you leave politics clearly your head and shoulder above Johnson who needs his notes daily to remember where he is!!! Rory your father must be so proud of you a star is born😀

I think he should be addressing his own party because they have been so divided and uncompromising.

spot on guy

Is Lord Adonis the shy young boy?

I wish I was clever enough to have gone to Oxford.

We have a deal! I believe Rory said he would be the first the congratulate the PM if he got one. I admire both

a critique of the views and beliefs of others, without a valid argument against them seems pointless in a debate.

Rory Stewart is a very practical politician. Let us compromise and move on with our lives. I cannot argue with this, it is very democratic. As a business student from an American business school I know for the UK to leave the EU is a big mistake. This is a challenge for a democratic republic. Different political factions must compromise in order for the country to move on. But if you know this will hurt your country's ability to sustain the best standard living for your citizens do you sit idly and go with the crowd? Sometimes politicians have to lead their people in the right direction. This can be political suicide in a democracy where most people do not understand and will tragically follow the wrong path. Andrew Adonis is the only one who is trying to warn the Oxford Union (educated?) crowd. Unfortunately, he only received a polite support at the end of his speech. While I agree with Adonis' arguments it may require too much understanding of European civilization. This crowd is Oxford Union, the best and the brightest of England and the world, and yet they do seem to appreciate what is going on. What a shame. If people like Michael Woods and Bethany Hughs do not understand, then you cannot expect the average citizen to understand.

Civil war sounds good were do we sign up?

Looks like Harry Potter getting out of the pool

The voice of Reason. No wonder he lost the leadership election.

Arguing with Farage. Much like arguing with a brick.

This man should've been PM.

I just realised something I have not been taken my rights seriously. From today I will sue anyone who infringes upon them, any employee, employer, company, bank or fellow citizen who wishes to chastise me. Can you imagine working at an event and having to stop the whole crew because the police where called to address a hate crime. After this nonsense I suggest everyone goes to court until this nonsense stops.

He's a smart man but I think he's wrong about this

Brilliant

realism. you can't sit on the fence. imagine the future for a free and democratic nation reborn, where the young, involved in politics,in law and industry can shape that future .

I’m a man of the people and man of the 🍺

A decent Tory!

I know the calibre of politicians at the moment is not the best, but I genuinely believe Rory Stewart is one of the very best. To go into a debate like this prioritising reason over emotion is only to be applauded. I back a second referendum (though I have been willing to compromise), but ended up agreeing with Stewart on almost every point he makes. One thing I and any Brexiters reading this can agree on: ADONIS IS A TWERP!

And Brexit turned out to do terrible damage to the British economy, people and world standing.

What Britain needs are people who have worked and has experienced life in the real world to move into politic,s. Not these lab rats who are so inexperienced in all except so called education. career politicians will never be able to understand that what they do actually hinders the workforce .

Brilliant; reminds me of Bertrand Russel; I’d imagine his message is way beyond the majority of English proles, who can only identify with humanity’s lowest common denominators, such as Farage.

He does not serve in Theresa May’s cabinet, as you seem to say in the description.

Was'nt he in a band called the clash ?

How flat did his first joke fall LOL

Great speech by all but the people's vote remains that's why we have a democracy so we can vote what is best for the country.

Stewart for PM

they held off publishing this because it makes the may deal look as dumb as it is

Rude pair behind him, talking and giggling like school kids.

so in 11min i didnt hear at least one argument for supporting the deal, he only insulted nigel and andrew with pure populistic retoric "they are bad, im am good", what kind of argument is "his democracy is a pint"..Nigel whipped the floor with him, you can agree or disagree with him but as debater he talked about subject, rory wasnt

With Jacob Rees Mogg and this odd little man, one thinks the Tories dig up their members from Victorian graveyards.

I'm so tired of listening such 'useless' speeches! Mr Minister, did you realise that the Debt clock is running? Get on with the Brexit, there are so many other very high priority issues threatening the future of the UK.

WHAT THE FUTURE SAYS IS WHT WILL HAPPEN.

It's a 11 minutes talk, 7 minutes in there are not actual meaningful points and/arguments made with respect to the so called deal. Tell me why is a such a good deal with some substance. Typical.

Mrs May in trousers.

Poor Rory is an idealist.Our parliamentary and legal system is adversarial in nature.There isn't consensus sort in either,if you want coalitions then i suggest you change the first past the post voting system to proportional representation,and our legal system must change to an inquisitorial form,away from the adversarial.Imho.I suggest there are powerful vested interests present that will neither allow a PR voting system,or allow fundamental reform of our legal system.Polarization through tribalism is the inevitable conclusion to our way of doing democracy.

Rory Stewart to win next Grand National! If id ever met him in the Union i would have mounted him to transport me home! I'm a life member of the Union, but like the bbc there is hardly any point debating and feel like i'm an assumed Jimmy Saville when walking in! Without removing its historic status and what was once an exclusive establishment to vent opinion, the whole structure needs an upgrade to provide help and mental support for those too young to accept the opinion of the majority without throwing their toys out of their pram.Their parents never had a choice, im 46yrs of age and had no choice! Kids now are rightful they have no choice, i could go on and on...but you will only hear what the bbc has to say in whatever you interpret the 3 letters.

Spent the most of the time trying to undermine the opposition rather than explaining why we should accept the deal. Keep on topic man!

Tony Blair

when are the people gonna rid us of these incredible Toxic Individuals.

Very smart man he can use a lot of words to say nothing what a shame there are so many politicians like him in Westminster it will be hard for him to stand out.

Anyone remember Plug from the Bash Street Kids in the Beano?

better than a sleeping tablet this guy

Military record reads , A Batman to a and IraqBatman

farage's speech: 2k likes stewart's speech: 65 likes prepare to be ousted

This guy is trying too hard. Stop the nonsense on similarities. Stop the posh comedy. Just give us reality and facts please

Rory Stewart a lot of words with no democratic meaning or direction. Compromise takes two sides to agree.The EU don't know the meaning of compromise. I don't know of any other Nation who had to give up sovereignty in order do a trade deal. After all we were told by Ted Heath and other MP's that the Common Market was a trading organisation. Duplicity at work.

Speaks well but has nothing to say that has added value to your debate. Showmanship. From Canada.

Very detached from mainstream and lacking a dynamic vision for UK. Unconvincing.

PURE DEMOCRACY IS NOT WHAT I SEE.

I never knew the true meaning of the word toff until I watched this.

This man makes chamberlain look strong.

If only Farage took some of this onboard

Why did the police stop looking for the murders of Jill Dando & Doctor Kelly because Dave Stewart Annie Lennox and Tony & Cherie Blair had something to loose stolen children and Royalties for songs

later i find out she was back with her husband the heroin and Cocaine dealer working for the gang. and the local labour party have helped her target me for favours

Stewart would be ideal casting for the role of Richard Rich in Bolt's 'A Man For All Seasons', going from his self-incriminating statements here. When did 52% in a vote become "an even division"? He supported the abolition of the Kingdom into becoming little more than a Grand Duchy under the control of a foreign power in the 2016 Referendum, in that he is on the side of Adonis, regardless of his attempts here to pretend otherwise here. The country voted to Leave the eu, & the current political order was elected to the House of Commons in 2017 on manifestos pledging to obey that instruction from the people & legally implement that decision, & a majority of those politicians have done the exact opposite for the last 2 years, using parliamentary process to impede it. This appears not to concern Stewart, which in itself is a warning against him.

My god it's "Stig of the dump"

Why the fook are you speaking about Africa in a Brexit debate?

This kind of British fare used to impress but Britain has fallen so far and so steeply into complete irrelevance that seeing this stale fare still being served-up seems sad or like watching neurotic group therapy.

He talks very well . but like all Torys he says nothing.Hes never done an honest days work in his life.Show me a man that can swing a hammer or dig a field for five twelve hour shifts a week. Thats a man to be trusted and ill give him my vote,

More cheese Gromit

Like RS as a person. He seems a very decent and principled individual but what a relief he was voted out of the running for PM. Nothing but snake oil on this matter ergo staunch remainer in sheep's clothing. I am all for a reasonable 'non-binding' deal but with Rory we would simply end up with May's treaty.

Close your eyes .........it’s tony Blair , he’s even doing the same hand waving ,how horrifying .

Mr hedgehog has, as every stiff collered neutered upstart which sprang from the Bellfry into the deep moat of british politics, been taught the ins and outs of how to capture the attention of his fellows by practicing on them for years with little consequence ! His eloquent renunciation of the people of britains "democratic vote !" Only puts him , in my view, deeper inside the hole which conservatives have dug for themselves. Therefore rendering this speech about as meaningful as his hedgehog rant.🤗

Good job that 'tool' is a has been ...

Do you notice how Mr Stewart talks for 20 mins and says nothing that will affect his climb up the slippery political pole. Compromise ? Just because he can eat a tomato through a tennis racquet he thinks he is superior to everyone else !

Eu appeaser

If Stewart believes in 'arguing passionately for moderation' he needs to look up oxymoron in his dictionary...

"An exciting moment in our History" ? Sounding like a young surgeon, trying to tell a patient what an exciting time it is because he has never chopped anyone's leg off before.Golly gee, what an opportunity! Prat.

Eleven minutes of nothing. Get a job.

An elitist looking after his own interests and thinking he knows better than anyone. The next PM me thinks NOT.

Fly-weight. He lacks presence .
