Nothing's changed since the Major years. A large minority of the parliamentary party remain a bunch of EU obsessed tts. For decades they've failed to hijack the party line. If they genuinely had the courage of their convictions they'd have pissed off years ago and no doubt taken a larger percentage of the grassroots with them. The door is still there.

These incompetents have just made Remain substantially more likely. They've undermined May reducing the chances of her getting any further concessions from the EU yet further. The govt are not going to allow a disorderly exit from the EU and there's bugger all chance of passing the current deal, so the chance of delaying exit has increased substantially.
We’ll only get a better deal from the eu if the eu want to avoid a no deal.

Doesn’t a weaker may make a no deal more likely?
She is weak because her deal is unpopular.

So if the eu want an agreement tnen tney need to make concessiobs.

Or am i missing something?

Are the eu expecting remain or extended art 50?
Weak May makes no deal more likely. That leaves the UK two options; delay exit or fall out. A May government is going to consider the former is better than the latter. The EU isn't going to budge. They don't have to. As has always been the case, they have less to lose than we do and their position is self-consistent and broadly supported on their side.

It really hasn't, before the vote the talk was of 48 rebels, now the true numbers are out. May is utterly fked. Any chance of pushing through a non-Brexit Brexit have gone. Her only option now is an orderly exit under WTO rules with Labour support. Mogg has played a blinder....
Have you been paying any attention at all or are you being ironic ?laugh

The parliamentary majority will never allow WTO rules / hard Brexit. Never.

It is as if you are watching a completely different reality.

So the Hard Brexiteers will remain hard brexit

So are the Remainers going to swing behind May's leave deal
Or are then May's deal lot going to become Remainers

Or are the above two going to strike a deal and kick Article 50 down the road a couple of years and risk being annihilated at the ballot box

You do realise that it's the default option and only needs the clock to run out? It's the only thing they don't need to agree on because the already allowed it.

Anything else requires - at a minimum - a vote to pass it. Plus for some of the options extra legislation and the agreement of the ECJ (for remain / A50 withdrawl) or the EU members.

So saying it won't happen isn't something that can be claimed with absolute certainty.

This will be TD's 'special' hot choccy with the muscle relaxants and tranks in it? Might need to lower the dose compared to the 'Diane' mix.

A parliamentary majority don’t want WTO. They will vote as they must to prevent it.

Ironically, 200 is one more than when she was elected in the first place - 199, and there were 13 more Tory MPs for that one as well.
'ironically'?
Yes, ironically as many are trying to paint this as a terrible result for her. It's not brilliant, but compared to 2016...

Funny how brexit self harmers are bhing TM having 'ONLY' 2/3rds majority of her party is a weak result yet the brexit vote outcome is quite ok, despite how tiny it was. Double standards!!
Most of her votes were 'the payroll' - MPs who have roles thanks to TM.

Most of the free MPs voted against her.

She's in trouble.

650 MP's she has the backing of 200 how in the name of sanity does she think she can continue to get her deal through its dead and we need to accept it and look at the options for Parliament to consider .
I’m not sure it’s quite that simple.

Say 200 Con MPs positively like the May deal. That doesn’t mean only 200 would vote for it.

It’s like this: 10 people out of 30 positively like celery. But if you offered all 30 a choice for lunch between celery and a dogst sandwich, I bet more than 10 would take the celery.

That's pretty much the size of it. You could say all the back benchers, not just the ERG, but the moderates, voted against her.

She is too stupid to see that's untenable, so will just push on with her idiocy.

Amazing you know this, given it was a secret ballot.

Or are you just regurgitating the JRM Kool Aid?
