NotThePars Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Didn't the (vast?) majority of MPs vote against pretty much every alternative to No Deal in the indicative votes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were only ERG types left asking questions if that means anything. P.P.S. I was probably wrong. https://twitter.com/joncraig/status/1113118225670328322 Edited April 2, 2019 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they are supposed to be running a country. Are any other matters being debated? Maybe Health, Housing , Transport, Universal Credit, whatever?

Detournement Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Bercow letting the indicative votes come back for a third time is ridiculous. I keep on seeing people say the customs union lost by 2 votes but the government have another 40 votes in reserve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jedi Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Even after a 7 hour meeting she will probably just come out and waffle on about its 'her deal, no deal, or no Brexit (code for long extension', and er thats about it...for the 1000th time.

There is a debate on business rates going on at the moment. They had a debate about ethnic minority people on bank notes yesterday.

Guest Jedi Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Agree that dragging twice defeated indicative votes back for a third round on Monday is ridiculous tbh. That ship has sailed. Thing is, even if say CM 2.0 had gained support we haven't heard a peep from the govts of Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein recently that they are even on board with this.With regard to CU, the EU have previously made it clear that they wont allow cherry picking and a half in/half out arrangement. So, even if one had passed it wasn't a guarantee. Long extension looks like the only current route. Presumably the EU will ask for either a GE or 2nd Ref. Can't see the Cabinet agreeing to a 2nd Ref, so GE it is. Irony being that said GE could produce a similar result, with a minority govt being propped up from where ever,and so the whole farce starts turning again where they can't be any agreement on anything, Only thing that could unblock the whole thing is if they do somehow push her deal through...of course its a bad deal, which I certainly don't support, (as is any deal to leave the worlds largest customs union), but just can't see anything else passing the Commons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The EU has no problem with a cherry picked, good only customs union with Turkey. I can't think why 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jedi Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Yes, but they don't have the other parts of 'Mays deal' in place. It is a very bespoke arrangement for that specific country/situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
