When TM makes clear that it's this deal or Brexit with no deal, MPs will realise that voting against the proposed deal would give them exactly what they don't want.

That realisation will ensure that Brexiteers vote against, but most MPs will vote for it, giving Theresa May the majority she needs.
Just because you lack the ability to see it happening doesn't mean it will not. Blood on the streets? That's quite dramatic.

This is why the Daily Mail and the Telegraph are important in the coming months. People need to know this is the absolute best deal we are going to get. And that it's a bad deal.

The deal isn't what 17.4 million people voted for. Farage, Johnson, Davis, Fox, etc. all lied to the public. The easiest free trade deal ever? Not quite. We can't accept no deal either.

A solemn Theresa May addresses the nation in March. We haven't adequately prepared for No Deal and proposes an extension, or that we have a further referendum because leaving is a bad idea anyway. What does she care? She's a remainer, and she's toast anyway.

Far from being clarity it's an opinion. No more, and no less valid than any other.

The only difference is that it's one you agree with.

Has nobody ever amended an Act of Parliament? Ever?
