Can’t deny Dave, anything is possible, is it probable?...........
Bottom line is this:
Article 50 was voted through parliament because there was a mandate from the electorate to do so. MPs that voted remain still voted A50 because they knew they had too.
Fast forward nothing has changed. There is lots of discussion but there is no overwhelming mandate to overturn A50.
Unless something happens between now and March, that Parliament thinks would result in turning around the A50 vote it won’t happen.

No doubt.
Politicians and civil servants will have to earn their pensions.

That’ll be no, then. Cromwell fought against the Crown to establish Parliament as the supreme authority, centuries before the extension of the franchise beyond land owners.
It’s entertaining that spending half of the evening claiming people are sovereign you are now accepting Parliament can change it’s mind but you don’t think it will happen, which is what I have been saying all along.
Thank you for finally accepting my point.

Your only difference is what you consider a threshold for “something happens”. In my view the ball is rolling already, and you can’t yet prove otherwise because it’s a subjective opinion on the political climate. It’s not at your threshold because you wish to leave regardless of economic consequences. It’s beyond my threshold because I consider economics to be important. Politicians tend to too.

I think there does seem to be a change in rhetoric as jfman has highlighted. I definitely had not heard no Brexit being mentioned by the Government until recently. Whether this is a case of promoting the current deal to Brexit MPs as "May's deal or no Brexit" (and to Remain MPs as "May's deal or a no-deal Brexit") or whether there's something more substantive behind it, I don't know.
On another note, popcorn tomorrow, folks! In the afternoon, Geoffrey Cox, the attorney-general, will give his statement on the government's legal advice on the withdrawal agreement.

Apparently, he's said he'll answer every question put to him, so it could be a long session!

Maybe he'll just say "no comment" to the questions after a short statement. Maybe he'll show and tell. Time will tell.

it very interesting even Michael Gove said it too
Security cooperation with Europe is ‘imperative’, MI6 chief to warn as no-deal Brexit threat grows
Warning comes after security minister says no-deal would have 'real impact' on ability to protect public
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a8664231.html
before anyone says project fear I remind you to read 3rd paragraph of article 50 and that is legal document about leaving EU

Re: Brexit
In the early morning news, there was a suggestion that the 'Meaningful Vote' would not be tested next week because of the certainty of defeat for May. The BBC report suggested that May would go back to Brussels to renegotiate.
Will the EU be reasonable? Indeed, what is reasonable? Pretend that the backstop is important for Irish peace (when it's really there just to protect the Irish economy)? Value the UK as a decent partner into the future? Openly espouse the EEA route (we are a current member due to the EU) which doesn't need EU permission afaik?
If the EU remains intransigent, then it's No Deal or EEA, in my eyes. I'd take either.
But can we stay in the EEA? There's an interesting view on that: https://esharp.eu/debates/the-uk-and...r-after-brexit
But I think that the Attorney General thinks that we don't drop out of the EEA after we leave the EU. So a potentially interesting bun fight there.

3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.

I see no reason why Theresa May needs to put any further votes to Parliament if the Withdrawal Agreement is voted down. Just let the no-deal Brexit happen. The legislation is already passed and Article 50 is in place.
It was Theresa May's idea to have this bridge between membership and non-membership. Parliament either accepts it or they don't.

I don't see 'no Brexit' as an option. As you intimate, this threat was aimed at the 'hard' Brexiteers.
Before May's idea about a transitional arrangement, most people just thought we would be leaving, full stop. So if the Withdrawal Agreement doesn't pass, we are just back to our original expectations.
The Withdrawal Agreement has certainly succeeded in muddying the waters, but it hasn't reduced the enthusiasm of those who voted to leave.

A 'no deal' would not bring the chaos that some predict, but the Withdrawal Agreement is designed to smooth the way.
