Beechey Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 Just now, StanSP said: No majority for any of the alternatives. The closest one being Customs Union - 8 votes in favour of not having it. Next closest being a confirmatory vote. Thank God the CU failed. It solves nothing and locks the UK behind the Common External Tariff.
Bryn Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 What a farce this all is. Absolute failure of our Parliamentary process and our system of government this. There'd have been a revolution after this 70 years ago. Honestly, you could justify it.
davieG Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 No majorities, no surprise. Therein lies the problem as to why there’s been no progress.
StanSP Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 Absolute shambles in Parliament. So much disrespect.
Beechey Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 The issue with this was MPs were voting for their number one pick, and rejecting mostly everything else. Why else would CM2.0 do so well compared to EFTA/EEA, when they're so similar? This Parliament is a shambles.
Legend_in_blue Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 Second referendum gaining momentum by those figures.

They need 60 more - no chance of that sort of swing on such a divisive issue. Only thing that really has any legs is a Customs Union providing it isn't done by Labour.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 Surely just revoking A50 and pretending the last 2 and half years never happened is looking more attractive now.

Grebfromgrebland Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 Oh ok I've just got home not followed any of it for a change.

That option just got slaughtered in the house. You are in a fantasy World if you think that solves anything.
Buce Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 The Peoples' Vote got more votes than either vote on May's deal.

bovril Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 Interesting that revocation got 184 considering it wasn't even part of the discussion a couple of weeks ago.

davieG Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 Does this not show that it’s down to parliament not being a true reflection of the politics of the country, first past the post no longer working.

StanSP Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 So seriously where does this even leave the UK? Is it purely and simply 22nd May the next key date? What happens with the debate on Monday now about the petition to revoke article 50? After the votes tonight is that even worth it?

Revokation isn't happening - heavily defeated and a petition of 6 million counts for nothing.

Guest MattP Posted 27 March 2019 Posted 27 March 2019 27 Labour Noes on Second Referendum so even if every one of those switches (impossible) still no majority for it.
