Yeh, the vote tonight on the deal on the table will be lost and the vote to leave without a deal tomorrow will also be lost.
So then we have nothing. Nobody's saying it yet but the only alternative is a delay, but that requires a vote in the EU to allow it. If they so no, we will drop out of the EU on 29th March anyway. The only way of stopping that would be another referendum. Huzzah!Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London.I am Finland.

i'm a cock-up theorist, a big fan of the bugger's muddle, but in this case I'm really hoping for conspiracy. The EU are remainers and Mrs May is a remainer I'm hoping that this is all a plot - produce an unvotable for deal, create deadliock beg EU for extension in order to ask again.

And some people seem to think that the the deal is better when the deal-maker resigns after signing it - so much so that they'll vote for exactly the same deal that they previously violently opposed.
Some of these MPs need drowning in the Thames.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London.I am Finland.

I'd take 51:49.
It doesn't matter what result is, millions of people will be pissed off for a generation whatever happens. This is what happens when our elected representatives shirk their job.Je suis Charlie.

Corbin has said that as soon as the new PM is in place he'll call a vote of no confidence. If that succeeds, then there's an election and the pooh really hits the fan.

The next PM is highly likely to be a real Brexiter which causes some problems in that no deal becomes more likely. But because the House has already voted against no deal - pretty much the only thing that has a majority - it would provoke a no confidence vote.

AZP writes: So now the newly approved PM drives back to Westminster to face a no-confidence vote? From the same house that just installed him/her as PM? Normally no. Currently yes. The point is that it's the Conservative party that elects a PM, not Parliament. Parliament consists of MPs from all parties and it has voted against a no deal Brexit so it's possible that parliament could force a general election by succeeding with a vote of no confidence.Je suis Charlie.
