Listen g to the legal stuff on the remainiac podcast last night, the situation is grim, confirmed by Dunt etc. My impression is May will go for no deal now and it is nigh on impossible to stop her. The only narrative that matters to her is the one in her head, and on this she is an evangelical. But it is possible to stop her. Because of the additional time that's been afforded Parliament, we no longer have the meaningful vote followed by a very short period of chaos in which we crash out. There is now time for Parliament to demonstrate a preference for something else. Obviously she CAN just choose to ignore that but then all of the chaos of no deal will sit squarely on her shoulders.

ewerk 30620 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I'd take all this talk of May being a no dealer with a pinch of salt. It's pretty much the only play she can use to get her deal through at this stage. No one has taken her threats of no deal seriously up until now so she's doubling down. That's not to say it won't happen but I wouldn't be shitting in my pants just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they still can't come to agreement by April 12th, then they can just go with May's deal - the only reason MV3 isn't going through is that there is a majority for a softer Brexit. If they get the chance to try for it, and it doesn't stick, those same MPs aren't going to just allow No Deal when May's option remains possible. So Labour will vote against the whip en masse? I doubt it. And after Wednesday, the ERG are hugely emboldened. Their prize is almost in grasp now, with May's implicit backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(blocked here) We don't have to finalise the agreement. We need to indicate enough of a change in tack to get more time. The 3 weeks then becomes 9 months or whatever, and all of this becomes much more negotiable without her fucking stupid red lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that when it fails, the primary reason it is going to fail isn't because of the ERG - it's because most MPs are remainers. So the majority is for a softer Brexit. So her deal fails, she resigns, and then parliament can actually discuss how to proceed - something they have been unable to do for 3 years. If they can't make anything work in the 3 weeks leading up to April 12th, then I think they will back May's deal because even for Labour, it's better than No Deal. It will remain an option until the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ERG aren't no dealers though. Maybe about 30 of them are but certainly not all. As we saw with MV2, several of them switched to backing May's deal rather than accept no deal, I think there will be even more for MV3. Not enough but a significant number.

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Not a hope in hell of no deal. Most likely outcome is a limp compromise that suits neither leavers or remainers. Whatever Parliament decides should be put back to a PV v Remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44900 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 ERG lot are raging about the indicative votes already. Can't wait to see Mark Francois on the telly this weekend looking like a constipated Kinky John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably as they are not mutually exclusive each MP will have a binary vote on each of them? Then maybe one will get a majority. I'd vote for 2, 3, and 5. The fact the ERG are gammoning is a good sign I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 i never thought we'd be allowed to sleepwalk over the cliff edge but this is the first week i can remember people at work, big brains who cover brexit day in day out, starting to talk about no deal as a real possibility rather than just a negation tactic. a lot of people close to the situation seem to think may might have flipped.

I said exactly the same last year. I’d still prefer to leave but there’s no point if we are going to end up with a fudge that isn’t “leaving” and isn’t remaining.
