What it demonstrates is that another commonly held belief prior to March 29th isn’t true. That Parliament would be too slow and we could fall into “no deal” if Government sat back and allowed it. Primary legislation enabled in just three sitting days.

Parliament has forced May’s hand. It can, and almost undoubtedly will, do so again if she continues to come up with inadequate solutions. It raises the prospect of either a second referendum or general election to break the deadlock.
