Originally posted by meridian View PostIt was a bit more than 52%, sounds like a resounding victory and the 117 need to step back and let the 200 get on with it.
Worst possible result in many ways. Damaged, but not fatally.
It's an irrelevance though. It doesn't change the Parliamentary arithmetic.Comment

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostI'm starting to wonder whether Theresa May isn't the craftiest politician ever, and has been angling and scheming for a no deal Brexit right from the start, incredible as it sounds.
If you think about it, she triggered Article 50 as soon as possible, thus starting the leaving clock, and has resisted attempts to extend the deadline or have a second referendum.
Since then she has come up with a laughably inadequate deal that any sane person must have known would never be acceptable to Leavers or even most Remainers, and certainly not the DUP, on whose support the Tories rely.
Then she postponed the vote on the deal until barely a month before we're due to leave anyway.
So if she survives tonight's confidence vote, all she has to do is muddle through or somehow frustrate or delay Parliament's "meaningful vote" in January, and we're practically home and dry!
No Deal here we come!Hard Brexit now!

Come on Tory Brexiteers. You had a leadership vote in 2016 for Theresa May. You lost. Get over it. Respect the will of the Tory party, etc.
