Why as leaving without a deal is still the default?  Unless you are assuming that the non binding vote on stopping us leaving without a deal (which this government can ignore) is valid.

 

Funny. The referendum wasn’t legally binding. How is that working out?

 

You have always been battering on about how the majority should be acted upon. But when it comes to the House of Commons it doesn’t count? How much of a hypocrite do you want to be?

So the establishment offers the people a vote.

The establishment doesn't like what the people have to say, so it then scraps the result.

 

What sort of message does that send to the people about ever bothering to vote again?

Thats how a representative democracy works. Something you fail to grasp repeatedly.

The referendum result became legally binding after the House of Commons overwhelmingly passed legislation.  The poster is correct leaving without a deal on 29th March is still the legal default position.

There is no 'managed no deal' - Teresa has been hiding under a rock called 'my deal'. In 8 days this country will be plunged into chaos. 

If Parliament reject the deal on offer again, then there will be an emergency EU summit where a managed no deal could be arranged.

What is a managed no deal?

[Obelix]

No there won't.

 

Operation Yellowhammer goes live Monday morning and you start preparing for a no deal Brexit and civil disorder. The rest of the EU was way ahead of you and making preparations a long time ago.

 

If nothing is agreed soon, the EU will simply tell you to sod off, we have had enough. If you dont realise that from Tusk's comments then I'm sorry but literally it cannot be clearer. We gave you the response back in four minutes - either you put your sodding House in order, or sorry, get lost. The EU has had enough.

 

May has two choices. Either revoke article 50, or promise a referendum, and hope to convince the EU leaders she's serious. Because TBH after that incoherent rambling last night, it's eminently clear she has lost control of the Commons and should be removed by the Queen as PM as per the Crowns reserved powers.

No it didn't.  The legislation passed is legally binding, the referendum was unchanged, still only an advisory referendum.

When the PM lost her majority after the last General election, she should have either stood down or put together an all party commission to negotiate Brexit. Without a clear mandate in the House of Commons how could she expect to push through the most divisive issue of our times?

 

The only way out of this mess is for a new government to take us forward, this current one does not have the authority over the House of Commons, so we must be approaching the  time for a no confidence vote and the ensuing General Election.

I wonder if May decided to carry on because she wanted to have her name in the history books as the PM who navigated the UK out of the EU.

Possibly, but she was also the only one who had the bottle to stand up and do the job. None of her colleagues could do it. They had another opportunity in the vote of confidence to step in. Same apples to others from other parties.

So, for her very, very many faults, she's got more b***s than the others put together.

Totally agree with you.
