    Maybe they should simulcast it, like with the football World Cup Final, then we would see who has the most impartial commentators.

    There will be nothing new either has to say that we haven't already heard.

May's deal wins by virtue of arse covering motivating the MPs.

    Why else is she trying to persuade the people rather than the MPs directly?
    Will it work though? The cabinet tried to go over/behind the EU negotiators by appealing directly to each countries head of state and ministers and that went well...

    So that's conclusive then.

    Are we talking 1 sigma or 3 sigma?
