    Errrm we vote for people to make and pass laws. We elect people based on the manifesto they put to us. And we expect them to do what they were to on the manifesto they stood on. The UK is no longer a representative democracy, it is now parliament against the people.

    ^ Now now, Parliament is simply the realism of the people's dreams...and brexit without a plan is just a bad dream.

    There is a clear plan, leave in every way, shape and form, free from all EU institutions and trade on whatever terms can be agreed at a future date. I don't remember it saying on the ballot paper we can only leave with a deal.

    If you mean the ideal outcome of a clean Brexit, not quite yet although looking unlikely now as I think Doris will get her deal through next week at the third attempt. Should it be voted down again then game on again but it will be relying on the EU not giving us an extension.

    ^ I doubt the EU will give a short extension under the current conditions. A long extension would be far more to their liking and better for the UK.

    Leaving with no settlement in place would be most unwise. The May agreement getting through would not be good for the UK, although it would be the best outcome for me personally.

    Neither did the ballot paper say we could leave without a deal.

    That is not a plan,

    It makes as much sense as jumping out of an aeroplane and designing the parachute on the way down.

    Hence why the pound is in the shitter every time a Hard Brexit seems more likely and why hundreds of businesses are leaving the UK and moving their assets to the EU ...and, you can include Jacob Rees Mogg on that list.

    Brexit: PM to bring third Brexit deal vote to Commons
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-47564793

    Theresa May will make a third attempt to get her EU withdrawal deal through Parliament in the next week.

    She told MPs that if her deal fails again to get their backing, a lengthy delay to Brexit may be needed.

    The prime minister's warning comes ahead of a Commons vote later on whether to ask the EU for permission to delay Brexit beyond 29 March.

    MPs voted on Wednesday evening to reject a no-deal Brexit under any circumstances.

    No date has yet been set for the third so-called "meaningful vote".

    What's happening today?

    MPs will vote on a government motion which could see a delay to the UK's departure from the EU.

    The UK government said there could be a short delay until 30 June, if MPs approve Mrs May's deal by 20 March - the day before the next EU summit in Brussels.

    But BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said that even if the UK is given until the end of June to pass the legislation required to leave the EU, the government will try to do that earlier, if Mrs May's deal is passed next week.

    Alternatively, there could be a much longer delay, requiring the UK to take part in elections for the European Parliament in May, the prime minister has said, in the event her deal is not approved.

    However, any length of extension has to be agreed by the EU.

    The DUP - which twice rejected Mrs May's deal in the Commons - is holding talks with the government to see if a solution could be found allowing its MPs to support the PM in a future vote.

    Tomorrow is the Ides of March...perfect time to stab the Maybot in the back...and remove her agreement and no deal brexit for good. She has been a total failure throughout her time in government.

    Parliament votes to extend A50 beyond the end of March.

    They voted on amendments in such a way that it's difficult to tell what they want.

    If May gets another vote on her deal and it gets through then we'll have seen one huge turn around. A double polished turd...

    Now Brexiteers in parliament will be scared we will never leave if they don't vote for Doris deal which is leaving in name only hence I think it will be voted through next week. Hope I'm wrong for the first time though.

    For once, I hope you are right. The sooner U.K. is obliged to leave, the better.

    Please bring the delay and indecision to a halt as soon as possible.

    Hammond should then be obliged to spend money on the UK’s impending departure, the shiftless decieitful oik.

    That is whythe BBC, MPS and MEP are delaying,stalling and generally doing everything in their power to stop Brexit.
    That's the bottom line, which the hooter girls either can't figure out, or won't because it would make them look shallower than they already do. Who cares, let them enjoy the thrill of schadenfreude without daring to glance at what's happening within the corrupt Empire they worship. True hypocrites.

    You are constantly looking for someone to blame other than this utterly shambolic tory party.

    Corbyn, the EU...anybody, whilst carefully constructing a straw man argument that those less perceptive than you* 'worship' something or someone just because they don't share your bias.

    There is some faraway place where all the anti goldilocks gang said they would go. Which embassy arranges entry to it and what are the retirement or marriage visa requirements?

    This cock-up is tremendous. I told you it was coming and I told you it would be FAB-U-LOUS! Called it!
    May is the pinnacle. She's the lyrical GANGSTA! That stinking, stupid CUNTO deserves a No Bell (end) PRIZE.

    What an ignorant fcuking MORON!

    Democracy eh, such a wonderful system.


    "What do MPs do in Parliament?


    When Parliament is sitting (meeting), MPs generally spend their time working in the House of Commons. This can include raising issues affecting their constituents, attending debates and voting on new laws. This can either be by asking a question of a government minister on your behalf or supporting and highlighting particular campaigns which local people feel strongly about."

    Basically May has reached her goal.

    A binary choice between her shit deal or months of delay.

    Blame that on the EU jabir...I'm sure you'll be able to somehow. Just defy all logic, close your eyes, put your fingers in your ears and repeat incessantly 'Nananananananana'

    Then congratulate yourself on your all seeing, all knowing internet connection and observe how biased everyone else is.
