Reply to: How May could win a majority for her deal

[Old Greg]

Labour could have absolutely shafted May on the first vote if they'd got together and voted for it, leaving the Tories in disarray.
But that's Korbyn for you, all the strategy of a Gregg's steak bake.

Shauny's lost 10 games of noughts and crosses in a row to a Gregg's steak bake.

No 10's plan:

Parliament vote on WA on 14th Feb;
while (Ayes < Noes) {
    stall for another 2 weeks or so;    /* claim progress being made in securing concessions from EU etc. */
    Parliament vote on WA;              /* fingers crossed, more MPs come around */ 
}

Guy Fawkes was a loser

Some Brexiteers like the murder of MPs.

[Yorkie62]

Agreed. The vast majority of MPs will now be burning the midnight oil getting their stories straight as to why this mass intransigence has been nothing to do with them.

Where is Guy Fawkes when you need him?

Or the right honourable MP for Huntingdon

If the EU want to change the deal on offer, there is a possibility that MPs might change their mind to support it. But I don't think the EU is going to budge, so there will be no deal.

- Crash out? Possible, but unlikely (MPs last night signaled they won't allow that)

Almost certain, IMHO.
MPs voted to have the referendum, trigger Article 50, and put into law the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, all of which lead to Brexit whether there is a deal or not. Parliament might have voted not to have no deal, but in order for them to get that outcome in the context of these three things that they had already voted for, they have to vote in favour of a deal. The EU say May's deal is the only one available, and MPs have already voted to reject that. If the EU want to change the deal on offer, there is a possibility that MPs might change their mind to support it. But I don't think the EU is going to budge, so there will be no deal.

The irony of all this is, the brexiters want to leave on WTO so we can negotiate our own deals with the rest of the world. Who the ***** is going to trust us in future negotiations? This whole fiasco has directly led to us looking like numpties to the rest of the world

5 years time, we'll be back in the EU but under EU terms (Euro etc). As contractors, let's make some dosh whilst the chaos continues

It's not about trust. They just won't be able to resist Britain's tasty jam tea and biscuit exports.

But is it an advisory f**k off or a legally enforceable one?

Probably advisory but she'd be making a mockery of democracy if she ignored the will of the people [emoji6]

We always advise sensible people to tell you to f**k off, and no, we can't spare you any change

[Whorty]

Yes, May has 100% won (or been given) a full mandate to be told to f**k off by the EU. Again

It was mandatory...

Anything I've missed off?
