    Anything is possible at the moment.

    Well, apart from politicians agreeing on much or making sense.

    Two-round referendum? To give it some validity.

    Third. The first was in 1975.

    Currently it looks like that is very unlikely, however that might change completely within hours as the weirdos we have for politicians seem to have abandoned everything other than "saving their own career for the next couple hours" mode.

    Look at it this way: May has ruled out another referendum and ruled out revoking Article 50.

    Which makes both a dead certainty now.

    You can only really guarantee them if she makes them red lines.

    Meanwhile Corbyn says the EU said there's no renegotiating but Labour should take over and negotiate....

    I swear something was put in the water when we left for NZ for a couple of years.

    Everyone has lost any sense of reason or the ability to debate without spouting ever increasing levels of ignorance.

    Tbh after watching the debate I’ve come to the conclusion she will probably get this deal voted through.

    If the Queen was biding her time for an opportunity to take back the country, it's now or never.

    Everywhere has its problems, I won't go into them just in case Brexit goes as I expect and I end up deciding to go back :)

    Of course if Corbyn will bring any ammo is extremely doubtful.

    I wonder how close we are to 48 letters, surely this latest debacle has caused more consternation within her party.

    Yeah but who would take over in reality? Nobody would want to touch the job, they'd have to come in and say they have some sort of idea.

    Boris, Boris is your man. ;)

    Seriously though i get what you're saying but i don't think MPs are really thinking about much these days, it's like they've all been hit with a stupid stick.

    hmm there is a big difference with what they say and what they do.

    If half of the ERG vote May's deal through along with some rebels from the otherside I can see it passing the house.

    I can't see it really. This deal would put us in the "no control" "taking laws with no say" "following rules" position they were arguing we were already in and why they wanted a vote in the first place.

    Personal feeling: the deal will be rejected and there will be a referendum on 1 Leave under WTO 2 Remain.
