And yet we're not even allowed a second vote, in case we've changed our minds and a small minority of hardcore loons get upset about it.merman wrote:So regardless of the outcome today, Theresa Maybe will put HER deal - defeated twice, with two of the three biggest margins against in Parliamentary history - to a THIRD vote on Wednesday 20th, before her next EU meeting on the 21st.
I'm half wondering if they'd eventually try this as a way of doing away with general elections. "You voted for us, it's the will of the people, you can't go changing your minds 5 years later"
My predictions mostly continue, except I didn't quite expect she'd shove that dead horse a third time, but I was struggling to fill some gaps in the timetable and that explains what they were due to be filled with. As indicated in the amendment votes, there's no majority for literally anything as everyone wants something different and hates all the other ideas, so it's down to whether a long extension is granted (despite probably going to the EU with no solid reason like a planned 2nd ref or GE) or, as I think, we crash out on the 29th having been denied.
I'm actually in 2 minds about the extension and going through e.g. 2 more years of this shit, vs "oh fine rip the plaster off, get it over with" (no bets involved, pure fatigue and a desire to get on with what's a short enough life) but that's from a privileged position that the poor don't have.
