Will my continental quilt still work when your clock ticks out

Lots of speculation that either way May might ask the EU to extend Article 50 in order to sort out a deal/exit terms/referendum/heat death of the universe but I don't see it myself.

Of course, just a seven euro charge every night to get underneath it

Yup, it's symbolic only, nothing will happen.

May now has to swallow her pride & ask for an extension to A50. Well, she could quit I guess

Here's a list of how MPs voted in lasts nights division - https://hansard.parliament.uk/Common...tputType=Names

My MP (David Gauke) voted yes but he toes the company line. I guess that's how you get to be a Cabinet Minister! Did your MP vote with your wishes and, if not, would it influence how you would vote in the next General Election?

If you in the cabinet and you don't vote for the government's policy you are expected to resign.

But did she not rule that out like everything else she has ruled out before then.

I expect Theresa May is looking forward to today's vote as she will actually win it.

The term being used is 'expected to win'

stranger things have happened (agree it's very, very unlikely she will lose)

I would boycott any General Election. The disgusting attitudes by Parliamentarians, who’ve stood on election pledges and then done opposite to what got them elected. No thanks. Democracy abusers would probably demand another vote, when the result doesn’t go their way.

Glad to see our leave supporting MP voted the "correct" way. Well done Tim Loughton.

I posted this on another forum (post #318) but it bears repeating here:

Quote from Heero Yuy:


At least May's Hokey Cokey deal is dead as a dodo even if she won't admit it. The EU won't make any cast iron assurances in law that the DUP will accept and have also stated that there are no grounds for re-opening serious negotations. You can't just wish away a defeat of 230 with some vague assurances from the EU.

I strongly suspect we'll stagger on towards March 29th with crisis after disaster after crisis while the clock ticks down and nothing is agreed: No GE, no "deal", no second referendum, no Irish backstop, no nothing. Just paralysis.

That of course honours the result of the referendum: We leave properly and keep our £39bn

I think there'll be a number of simple small agreements about aviation, medicines, food import/export etc to help past the tightest spots, indeed that should have been the objective all along over the past two wasted years, instead of some grand all embracing "deal" which really amounted to kicking the can down the road again. Many a mickle makes a muckle as the Scots say.

No Deal and No Brexit are both more likely now. I do think we'll end up with a softer Brexit though as that's the only way May can get a variation of this deal though Parliament. It could well end up being EFTA or this + customs union.

I don't think no deal will happen,

EFTA would required freedom of movement would it not ? Which would then have people who voted too leave angry and up in arms.

BREAKING: A Presidential source says France warns it’s Business sector that a No-Deal Brexit has become highly likely and must put preparations for No-Deal in to operation.

It’s good that our European partners are preparing. We clearly aren’t!
