BREXIT Question 08:59 - Mar 27 with 2793 viewspeterleeblue

Please can someone explain why some MP's will vote for Theresa Mays deal if she resigns but wont if she remains? Surely the deal remains the same and it will only be a matter of time before she resigns is replaced anyway.

Why does her leaving make her deal any more palatable?

Sorry if already covered elsewhere.

Because they only care about their career in the Tory party and not the what is best for the country.

It is because they are c*nts to whom this is all one game that will have zero impact on them or their financially insulated families. Simple as that.

The idea of taking back control and handing it over to these charlatans was always the biggest argument for Remain.

I don't think anyone can explain why they would do that, because it makes no sense.

It never ceases to amaze me what complete feckwits we send to parliament.

That and they think they can renege on the deal as soon as they have control of the party. It's as if they think that people in the EU can't read British newspapers.

In reality because they hope the process of negotiating the future relationship with the EU - which follows on from the Withdrawal Agreement - will end up with somebody more sympathetic to their views (less moderate, for most of them).

It might well not. Or the Government may split and collapse. Whereupon the wrangling will continue.

It's because if it doesn't go through they fear that Brexit will not happen. They also know that May is useless but if they vote for her deal on the proviso she goes they might be able to retrieve the clusterfeck she has created once she's gone.

What's confusing me is No deal is in the indicative list.

I admit I want to leave with No deal, but the HoC voted to take No Deal off the table but now it's listed in the indicative votes, so let's say No deal is the chosen indicative option (very unlikely I know) does that mean the HoC with then vote it down again? Confused

It seems a bit pointless having it on the list

No deal cannot be removed because it is what happens if you don't choose something else. You can vote for it, but not against it.

For example, if you vote for having no dinner tonight, you will have no dinner. If you vote against having no dinner tonight, if you don't make any dinner, you will still have no dinner.

Oops nobody noticed the deadline and we left without thinking to revoke Article 50.

I suppose it would be in keeping with the whole lets leave it until the last month before we actually try to agree a deal. They have treated it rather like a lazy student treats coursework - only start on it when the deadline looms so large it can no longer be ignored.

And that is the problem with democracy and especially a first-past-the-post system.

Because Brexit only exists for career and money making opportunities in right wing factions of a divided Tory party. May going releases more space at the trough.

Alas, it's the same in my part of the Ipswich-Shotley-Sudbury Golden Triangle. Unless you want a tory you never get proper representation. In fact it is the same through most of rural east-anglia.

Oh to be in a marginal seat, where my vote would actually make a difference.
