BREXIT Crunch time (part 38) WTF is going to happen next?

[Winot]

The government has shown no sign of paying attention to anything parliament demands unless it has to, so as it's non-binding I expect them to ignore it.

My understanding is that time is set aside on Wednesday for MPs to turn it into legislation.

Yeah, and I'm not totally clear what would happen if they refused to act on that. Lots of people are saying 'general election!' but I haven't seen how we get to that yet.

As already mentioned

...the business motion (just passed in the face of Government objection) gives MPs a day on Wednesday in which they are in control of business. In theory they could use Wednesday to pass legislation requiring May to take whatever is passed today to the EU...

I'm not convinced that this would actually happen, because Conservatives voting to make it happen would be putting their version of Brexit before their party and risking splitting the party which very few would be willing to do, but there is a way it can happen

sorry to break this to you, but this is an obvious april fools.

Yep. Got me good.

BBC reporting that LibDems won't vote for Common Market 2.0

It’s going to be “no” to everything again, isn’t it?

Of course, it might win otherwise.

Closest looks to be Customs Union...

No Brexit isn't really a threat she can follow through on though.

It is when she knows she is going, and when there would probably be a majority for it in the Commons if it (revoking A50 as the alternative to no deal) was a government motion.

It's a 'yes' to confusion

there wouldn't be though. there isn't a majority for anything. that's the problem.

(Sorry, it really annoys me when people do this )

With no deal as the default, legal position at 11pm on the 12th, as long as there's no majority for anything else, then no deal happens.

The EU have knocked one of the options off the table - that of another short extension - it's either a long extension (in pursuit of whatever...) or crash out. Neither are attractive...

Will confusion give way to temptation? Blue Monday for May if so.

I know that's where we are now, and what will in the end force something through (unless another fudge is arranged by agreeing to participate in EU elections - I've mentioned above why I think both main parties will be very keen on avoiding that). I was responding to the idea that May could have faced down the headbangers with her deal or no brexit a couple of years ago - and it just wouldn't have worked as it wasn't a credible threat then.

Absolute fucking wankers. How many days of people calling them exactly this does it need?

Every single faction giving it full beans on "Oh yeah, I'm deffo up for a compromise matey/as long as it's my option"

Watching some of these clowns on TV it is difficult to believe they can negotiate a roundabout let alone any kind of roadmap.

the amount of Tories who starve to death in their cars as the result of refusing to turn left would surprise you

At least they are not as bad as urban75's own Brexit committee who have not yet even managed to vote for anything.
