An election could follow that. I'm of the understanding that for a major change, the EU would delay until we were back to the table with a position? I really don't think so Scott, it's way too late for that. Anyhow, there is no way the Tories would suddenly campaign to remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malthouse is an irrelevant slice of stupidity, best ignore it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think that anyone who got into the job would be looking for a referendum in the hope that the public would get them off the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government has reneged on the no deal vote being a free vote, and therefore has whipped the party to vote against taking no deal away as an option. The government is basically a **** mess. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of those three things aren't outcomes. There are three possible outcomes. 1) we stay in 2) we leave with something looking a lot like the current withdrawal agreement (maybe going back to the Ireland only backstop when the time comes that they can stop caring about the DUP), and we just spend the next twenty years arguing that we're too close or not close enough to Europe depending on who happens to be Prime Minister that day 3) we crash out, have a few months of chaos and then sheepishly do (2) So actually two and a half outcomes.

As per Chindie's comment above: Because the amendment vote to the government's motion was won, the government's motion was thus amended. The government didn't like this and so they've decided that they will vote against the motion and they whipped their MPs to do the same. It wasn't successful as they've just lost that vote by 321 to 278. It will be interesting to see which Tories ignored their party's whips. Apparently, Gauke, Rudd, Mundell and Clark all abstained which, I believe, means that they should either resign or be sacked from their posts.

Popular Post Chindie Posted March 13, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2019 This is a dumpster fire. The government is, to form, holding the Commons in contempt. And anyone watching May and saying 'yeah there's a good leader doing things right and I like her' needs their head checking. She's vile, contemptible, and heading a government that is a complete farce and the whole thing is falling apart. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted March 13, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2019 The barely hidden cat is out of the transparent bag - May intends to put her deal to a third 'meaningful' (snigger) vote and plans to spook the ERG into backing it at the death. This is a complete farce. We are quickly getting to the point we need an election simply because the government is unable to govern, even it's own party. Leadsom right now should be facing a wall of laughter. The House can't have any confidence in her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
