My understanding is that Parliament can overrule the Speakers objections to a third vote on the same May deal without any changes being made.daveuprite wrote: ↑Fri Mar 22, 2019 6:59 pm
May MIGHT put her 'deal' to a meaningful vote in the commons next tuesday or wednesday, for the third time - (IF the speaker decides that it is sufficiently different from her other failed attempts).

Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

MP's have until the 12th April to vote in favour of Mays deal, or Brexit is cancelled.
What an unmitigated disaster the whole Brexit folly has been for the U.K.
3 years of division and corrosion - whilst the uk stagnates and HM Gov gets no real business done
Fecking shambles
We buy things we don't need
With money we don't have
To impress people we don't even like

Re: EU. In or out?
constitutional crisis
changing power structures
heightened uncertainty
all options open
no majority for any option
fake news and poker-faced bluffs
disharmony and sinister undertones
petitions and demonstrations
poor alternatives
lack of leadership everywhere
economic chaos
stress and anxiety all around
not too bad then ... could be worse

Re: EU. In or out?
If you haven’t watched Jonathan Pie in Spikes post above. It is sad when a satirical comedian can summarise the causes and consequences of Brexit in a more concise way than our politicians or most political commentators. I suppose he has no vested interest, other than making people laugh, unlikely the rest of them. Bizarrely the politicians, on all sides, have made more people laugh than the comedians, unfortunately they are people in other countries laughing at the UK.

Re: EU. In or out?
Given that nearly 5 million people have signed the petition for a second referendum you wonder why the ‘Leave means Leave ‘ lot have not started an alternative one. Perhaps the pictures above give us a clue.
