EPTBut we shall see what happens tonight, if there is no major majority on one of the possible plans then i think they are forced to back May's deal. I don't know, without the DUP support the current stunt by May is not going to work out anyway.

That numberwang is irrelevant, point is that if May's deal doesn't pass there will 100% be an extension and referendum. The EU isn't stupid enough to let no deal happen. | ||

Macron was quite fiesty last summit and has said he would force No Deal but he might not stick to that. You then have Farage and co lobbying Italy, Hungary, Poland etc. | ||

Edit: Boris is now backing her deal, In my opinion this will ruin his chances of winning the leadership. What is the point of any of the brexiteers who spent months attacking the deal and mocking Gove for backing it if they all end up voting for it. Might as well vote for the guy who worked it out a year ago and is 10x more capable. | ||

I hope its Javid, i really like him and it would be a good step in politics if he got the job. Javid has the problem of voting remain and being shaky in a crisis. | ||

Looks like there is still a core of ERG saying no. | ||

I'm guessing the Hungarian and other eastern governments have similar concerns. | ||

Posturing aside, no deal is not an option. | ||

Motion H:Adjusted deal with the option to end the backstop themselves. I can see many people wanting to vote for that but I doubt its realistic. Results should be soon now. Also:everyone who did sign the recent petition against brexit got an email from the government saying brexit will not get cancelled? | ||

They accept or reject agreements as a whole and have no interest in the UK throwing its weight around. Leaving and then applying for EFTA would also carry a load of chaos from months of no-deal existing IF you get in quick. More likely would be a long extension until atleast the end of the year, EU elections in the UK and then try to work out a deal with the EFTA group. | ||

Pushed by Nigel Farage himself to no support in the European Parliament today. Even when Corbyn is whipping for a second referendum he's actually cunningly plotting for no-deal. Jesus Christ... There is and always has been time for a second referendum, and no-deal will never happen. | ||
