Can someone please explain in a none political terms of these votes. I'm nowhere fully political.

As to whether a good or bad thing for us leaving the EU. I've read in the metro online she shelved a 3 vote on the deal.

I would like to thank you for giving me the dummy guide to politics, always one

It's quite easy to understand.

Parliament (House of Commons) is sovereign when it comes to law making and all things domestic. They can force any law onto the statute books regardless of opposition. But The Crown (Government) is sovereign in matters of foreign policy and diplomacy (within the law as made by Parliament). All Parliament may do is advise unless called upon by the Crown to enact law to enable foreign policy. Our dealings with the EU are classed as foreign policy and diplomatic and therefore the sole responsibility of the government. Therefore all Parliament can do is advise or vote on bill brought forward by the government.

Therefore advisory or indicative (non binding) motions are all parliament can put forward, while every substantial move in brexit has been initiated by the Government right from the referendum green paper through triggering article 50, all the negotiations and eventually our leaving or the cancelling of article 50.

Hope that helps.

Let's say there are 7 different outcomes.

How do you find out which is the most popular (or least unpopular).

Different ways to do this.

Rounds of voting, and the option that attracts the fewest number of votes drops out each time.

Or one round, and the MPs rank their preferences.

The option that falls out in round 1 . . . the papers of those who voted for this option are retrieved, and the 2nd preferences are transferred to the next round.

And so it keeps repeating, until one option gains more than 50 per cent.

It was how Ed Milliband was elected leader of Labour ahead of his brother.

David Milliband won in the first round, I think.

But the votes for the eliminated candidate (s) all moved to his brother.

Until he got over 50 per cent.

I think, anyway.
