I don't think Woosh is, it can easily happen with Customs Union tacked on.

Good grief. Thinking about it, even if some sort of consensus on an alternative approach starts to form on Monday, it wouldn’t surprise me if she ignored it and ploughed on with her dead duck deal.

I thought she was going to resign after this latest vote anyway?

I much prefer confirmatory vote. That way, they (MPs) can always claim it's not their fault.

Corbyn is as thick as mince. His indecision is because of a lack of brain power. He's an accidental leader. He lacks in every department apart from growing marrows and making friends with terrorists.
How original! a borrowed accollade accorded to David Davis!
Corbyn for all his faults tried to establish contact with said terrorists to aid the peace initiaves, whereas May made friends Menachem Begin leader of the Zionist militant group Irgun, the Revisionist breakaway from the larger Jewish paramilitary organization Haganah. and a man with Blood on his hands te sell him arms!
And fingers calls Corbyn "Friend of terrorists"
Whoever is working finger's strings could have got a better dummy at the local joke shop.

Hoo bleedin' ray!
From the Brexit Broadcasting Service
"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-parliaments-47696409
"
Summary
  1. MPs vote by 286 to 344 to reject the government’s withdrawal agreement - on the day the UK was due to leave the EU
  2. The Commons has been debating a motion on the terms of the UK's exit
  3. The political declaration, which sets out the future relationship, was not considered
  4. The vote - the third time the government had been defeated over its deal - throws the UK’s plans into more confusion
  5. Theresa May says the result will have "grave" implications and the "legal default" was that the UK would leave the EU on 12 April
  6. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn urges the PM to call an election
All together Now The house of Comons Anthem

"It doesn't matter what you say,
'cause I'm against it anyway
Whatever it is I'm against it
Your proposition may be good but let's get one thing understood
Whatever it is, I'm against it.
And even if you change it and amend it
I'm against it.

The immortal words of Groucho Marx
And here are mine

Either cancel Brexit or give the Public a referendum, for what is the use of a General election to define the Brexit issue when there is no chance of any party opposing it being elected
It would be as Democratic as an election in China!

You get the first paragraph right, I presume the last one was more in hope than expectation?

We will know in a few hours.

If May loses the vote is say its over. We will elect meps and that will be it.

Remainers win. Democracy loses. The EU carries on. We will be second class citizens and the laughing stock of the continent.

Plus ca change Rodney.

My life won't change. But at least I know when push came to shove I tried.

welcome to the new and unstoppable unrestrained United States of Europe.
If this is true

The leave campaign never give up playing the victim do they?
[B]Gerard Batten MEP[/B]‏Verified account @[B]GerardBattenMEP[/B]
There are reports that water cannon may be deployed tomorrow in London, & that some of the police may try to aggregate and provoke Brexiteers. There is always the danger of provocateurs planted to cause trouble. I hope it is not true but I call on everyone present to be peaceful.

And where did these reports originate from?
May I point out the fly in the ointment?
There aren't any water cannons and they are illegal anyway
And how do you aggregate brexiteers?

Would not be logical to claim that if A+B= F fail (x2 )
A= F
, that A+C would Pass P
Elementary Set theory.
The Speaker must see t hat as a ruse.

The only path which might work would be
C =P
And then C union A.

Excluding the UK MEPs , obviously, I have seen the European parliament ,as being a beacon of intelligent discourse. I try not to comment to much on regional parliamentarians ,where I have no vested interest.
