Today's Brexit vote

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

The PM's proposed deal has been defeated in parliament this evening.

With no other option barring a no deal brexit, does this feel like a tactical vote to drive a second referendum by a parliament that has lost its desire to leave?

No I don’t. I don’t think the government really expected Britain to vote out in the first place.

I would suggest it isn't tactical because it's such a massive margin.

A vote of no confidence has just been put in place regarding the government by the opposition.

if the Conservatives lose that Theresa May will have to resign instantly and a general election will be called so if it is Tactical it's risky.

Yes it was definitely inevitable but I think the margin in the vote is bigger than everybody expected. That makes the difference.

If you can see a way of changing a decision you never agreed with and in your heart felt was in the best interests of the country, surely a change of PM is a small price to pay.

Labour have nothing better to offer with regards a deal that Brussels will accept so should an election be called early, it will be won on nothing more than popularity alone..

Yes - unless the government loses a vote of confidence.

In reality though, the DUP have already confirmed that they would support the government in a confidence vote and I very much doubt that any Conservative MP would vote agaist their own party so it is highly likely that Corbyn will lose.

Which means, as she's already said this evening, TM will continue as PM.

if a motion of no confidence in the government is passed tomorrow, under the new fix term parliament rules , there can be a general election.

I think it has to be a 2 thirds majority .

Which I can't see happening

The scariest thing is that no single person in Westminster has a fucking clue how to even begin to get us out of this mess.

Not sure who's words are more laughable with the benefit of hindsight, May for promising us strong and stable or Cameron for warning us of the chaos a Labour government would have brought.

The country spoke, they wanted to leave and parliament have to deliver on that wish.. it was the democratic vote.

So surely not to leave would require a second referendum.. parliament can't refuse to act on a democratic vote by the people, so another referendum would have to take place to ensure the will of the people hadn't changed..

it is worth bearing in mind it takes around 13-14 weeks for the electoral commission to get its act together for any vote.

so if the motion carries then your looking at that time scale.

same if there was ever going to be another brexit vote.

So if May isn't likely to lose a no confidence vote, why would so many of her supporters turn down the only option the UK has for leaving Europe after two years of negotiations?

It just doesn't make any sense..

There is no other deal and a no deal is just not palatable to anyone in parliament..

So why did she lose by a landslide?

There seems to be only one plausible answer to the inexplicable situation, a tactical vote to drive a second referendum..

The whole of Parliament needs shaking they are to serve the people. The people voted in one of the biggest turn outs to leave and they sit in there Ivory towers telling us we’re wrong. Most MPs are very well off and from well to do backgrounds so don’t have a clue what living in Britain is really like. If I had tens of thousands in the bank and a few houses I’d be worried about change too but being working class leaving can only help.

worth also noting the EU was banking on the money it would receive from the UK on the brexit deal.

i maybe wrong but a no deal means that money or the set amount of money does not go to the EU.

and trust me they do need it.

i think we can all take sides and bits of which part of any deal we like or want.

sadly this deal was never going to pass because of the irish issue and may's government needing them behind her.

No deal is no deal..

We leave with no deal then that is it, no negotiations.. Nothing..

In the wise words of yoda "Mmmm...well and truly fucked you are"

A no deal would mean an extension to article 50, further negotiations, yada yada yada..

If after 2 years the only agreed deal we can get is a shit one, what are further negotiations going to get..

We are not playing poker here, we don't have any cards left and Brussels have all the chips..

We cannot negotiate our way out of this with nothing to offer in return..

So where are all the hard line brexiteers to sort the mess out?

.

Nope.. me neither..not a clue where they are..

It was them that fucked off the minute they realised we were fucked.. about a week after the brexit vote took place!

So we are left with those that wanted us to stay to sort out a deal.. no wonder it's shit..

And Corbyn, what the hell will he do if he gets into power.. he is probably still pulling the splinters out of his arse from the fence he wriggled on during the build up to Brexit, not committing to one side or another..

It seems no one in parliament who is worth their salts has any desire to leave.

Whether the deal was good or bad is up for debate, what was shown was the reasons for the referendum still being aired right up until the vote tonight - which shouldn't matter at this time.

The referendum result and the deal itself is what should have been at the forefront of any MP's vote. (I can understand Remainers and Brexiteers here). I can't understand the whipped Labour position that it can in some way be made perfect, as the uncertainty that is now going to follow is going to be astonishing.

No Deal delivers on the referendum result. The question on the ballot paper said Leave or remain. There was nothing on the ballot paper about a deal. The country voted Leave. Leaving with no deal respects the referendum result.

What part of no deal do MP's want? Serveral points...

No Deal saves us £39 billion on the divorce bill which many brexiteer MP's don't want to pay to the EU.

No Deal means leaving the single market and ending free movement of people.

No Deal means leaving the customs union so we can strike our own trade deals around the rest of the world.

No Deal means we immediately free ourselves from the jurisdiction of the European Court of justice (ECJ). No Deal means we no longer pay the EU any money in membership fees. No Deal means we continue to trade with the EU on World trade organisation rules.

No Deal respects democracy and delivers on the referendum result.

If we leave with no deal on March 29th and then immediately agree to negotiate a Canada style free trade agreement with the EU as a 3rd country outside of the EU, then WTO rules give a 10 year exemption on border controls while a bilateral free trade agreement is being negotiated.

"So did Mays deal !

May's deal is now dead.

So is no deal..

The financial markets know it, the vast majority of Politicians in Westminster know it..

And won't vote for it..

Only a small number want it and won't accept the clear reality of it..

"

"The financial markets know it". Lol

Like the financial markets "knew" it would be a remain result in the EU referendum, as the pound went up on the 23rd June 2016, before the votes were counted. Fact is the financial markets don't know shit.

Parliament doesn't have to vote for a no deal, it is already the default position.

Jean Claude Juncker has already put out a tweet saying no deal is now more likely.

"We ain't going nowhere! This is all tactics. We will have another referendum and we will remain. They make it this difficult to leave for a reason! So you don't leave. I think we will end up staying with conditions. "

If there is another referendum, and it remain wins, Britain will remain in the EU with the same terms and conditions that they presently have!

Which re a lot better than what a lot of EU countries have!

It will just revert to if there was no leave vote at all!

There won’t be punishment for voting originally to leave!!

"worth also noting the EU was banking on the money it would receive from the UK on the brexit deal.

i maybe wrong but a no deal means that money or the set amount of money does not go to the EU.

and trust me they do need it.

i think we can all take sides and bits of which part of any deal we like or want.

sadly this deal was never going to pass because of the irish issue and may's government needing them behind her.

"

Horse shit, this deal didn’t succeed because parliament can’t agree on what they want, there are too many factions looking out for their own interests, if it wasn’t the backstop,it would be trade, it’s a blame game!!

Parliament can’t agree, but this is the same parliament that brexiteers want to give control ‘back to’

Yep , a no deal .

Think about the fact that Germany is going through the beginning of a recession , France is undergoing riots , and the rest of Europe is skint . They need a deal way more than we do .

Do you know I'm not so sure, there's still austerity, cuts, food banks, the mess that is universal credit, and this mess and they are all the ownership of the tories..

How?

Would you buy a car and decline the warranty?

No deal is just leaving us totally open to being completely analy fucked by Brussels..

I think you're confusing No deal with the deal the PM tried to get through which effectively kept us in the EU but without a seat at the top table

No deal is no deal..

We leave with no deal then that is it, no negotiations.. Nothing..

In the wise words of yoda "Mmmm...well and truly fucked you are"

A no deal would mean an extension to article 50, further negotiations, yada yada yada..

If after 2 years the only agreed deal we can get is a shit one, what are further negotiations going to get..

We are not playing poker here, we don't have any cards left and Brussels have all the chips..

We cannot negotiate our way out of this with nothing to offer in return..

The UK are equivalent to 19 of the EU member states put together, is the 5th largest economy in the world, is near the top of the world table in soft power influence and have historic links all over the globe through the commonwealth. We will flourish what ever happens. The EU is losing a net contributor to its budget.

Germany, the so called economic powerhouse of the EU are on the brink of recession now. France in flames and people rioting against Macron virtually every weekend. The anti EU coalition government in Italy have publicly and officially backed the yellow vest protesters in France against Macron.

The young all vote Labour anyway so no loss to the Conservative party there. A poll of Conservative party members showed over 60% of them prefer no deal compared to May's deal. Remain only polled around 15% in the survey, so 85% of Tory members want to leave the EU in one form or another.

When you say Canada style do you mean “copy and paste” of Canada, or do you mean Canada is the blueprint but there are adjustments made (eg look at services?).

Because I suspect if we are going down the latter route we’d need to have some kind of agreement of before we can involve any transition rules.

(And that’s putting aside what “reasonable time” may be allowed given we would have had a FTA in place previously. The ten years is not hard and fast).

Now that is a remarkable volte-face.

You say people voted to take back control of our borders and stop free movement.

Now you say our border with the EU will be unrestricted for a decade, with no checks on who or what is coming into the UK.

Now you say our border with the EU will be unrestricted for a decade, with no checks on who or what is coming into the UK.

You really have not thought this through at all, have you?"

I'd happily put a hard border up in Ireland but to placate remoaners like you and to stick to the good Friday agreement the border must remain open until both the EU and the UK put in technology to sort the border problem out indefinitely.

"the eu will need to move on the backstop or we will leave with no deal simples.

What controls will Britain need to install on its border in Ireland in those circumstances?

If we leave with no deal on March 29th and then immediately agree to negotiate a Canada style free trade agreement with the EU as a 3rd country outside of the EU, then WTO rules give a 10 year exemption on border controls while a bilateral free trade agreement is being negotiated.

If the EU agree??

Why wouldn't they?

Suggest you follow an expert trade negotiator- someone who has been doing the job for 20+ years then you will understand better "

sssssh... don't you dare point him in the direction of jason hunter on twitter.... he has been one of the sane voices throughout this..... and has gotten so many things right it would downright scary for a hardline "no dealer" to comprehend...

The good Friday agreement is wanted by both sides of the border and us and the EU for very good reasons, and that includes those in the North who voted leave..

its not a hollow promise by some self serving politician pre election to be disregarded post election, its not a shallow cliche on a bus that one can later deflect from..

How does this work with the “10 year rule”. The transition period allows you to do trade in line with the approach you intend to take in the treaty. I don’t think it allows you to have a temporary measure just because you haven’t solved an issue.

But checking certainly isn’t the Canada deal as it stands.

"possible general election if the no confidence in the government motion is passed.

Isn’t the next general election in 2022?

if the motion is passed with a majority then a general election is called

Has to be a 2/3 majority, there’ll be no general election!

But the Labour position is that if their vote of no confidence does not succeed, their fallback position is for another referendum!!

Another vote is the likely outcome!!

Gets corbyn off the fence.. i think he would lose heavily if there was a GE even the blind can see hes done nothing to implement the will of the people but only in it for his own personal agenda."

The conservatives insisted on a strategy of no consultation with others - they didn't even get their party to agree on what they wanted, before triggering Article 50! Only ministers and the PM were involved in negotiations, with the rest of parliament involved at the absolute minimum - when legislative changes or votes were needed, before proceding to the next stage. May's absolute refusal to get her party to agree on what it wanted, before triggering Article 50 and refusal to have cross-party involvement, meant that everyone else was largely ensured kept as a bystander. 2 years of wasted parliamentiary time at huge cost to everyone.

So you don't care that pretty much everyone involved fears a hard border because it could lead to a return of violence.

No better example of the zealotry of Brexiteers; willing to sacrifice absolutely anything, even people's lives, in the name of their juvenile obsessions.

I have some experience of being anally fucked by Europeans. I can thoroughly recommend it.
