Purpose of the EU Parliament vote is to allow a retrade.
You the the negotiation between heads of government. Painful concessions made in the last 6 hours, as always but it's all squared away.
You then go to the Parliament vote and they reject.
Cue sorrowful shake of the head. "Sorry. Know we had a deal & you've given away your trump cards. But now we need more or it's no deal"
Unethical, but probably effective.
Only way round it that I can see is to get Parliamentary consent at an earlier stage (e.g. on heads of terms )
Only Hillary can deliver victory to Trump and vice versa.
on the ground after a collapse.
What would happen I believe is she'd say if she won in November, she'd be inaugurated in January, but resign immediately and be replaced by Tim Kaine,

Clinton campaign says HRC felt "overheated" and went to Chelsea's apartment near Madison Square Park
There's a natural tendency to drift to the middle/centre anyway.
Also, where does it show half of people falling into right wing views and 24% into left wing?

Because in that case neither Hillary nor Trump will win.
Trump is close because Hillary is so unpopular, if she is removed then Trump doesn't have a chance.
Like wise if Trump goes, Hillary doesn't have a chance.
So mystery candidate x would win, or rather the VP picks, but how many have placed a bet on Tim Kaine or Mike Pence to win ?
All the Hillary health memes now have moved from conspiracy theories to legitimate discussion point.
The ballots have already been printed, voting started on Friday.
If Hillary goes sick, it will be a landslide for the Dems against Trump.
Oh, and Eid Mubarak
Al Quaeda were “driven to” carry out the 9/11 attacks, says Jeremy Corbyn’s spokesman. Utterly rancid. https://t.co/gOoDPUhfK2
The world's political leaders, from all backgrounds, should strap him to his desk. No more minibreaks for you, Mike.
Though Hillary and Trump have ego's the size of Jupiter.
So I doubt that they will resign on their own free will.

As an aside, they're both younger than when Seleucus and Lysimachus fought at the Battle of Corupedium to determine mastery of the world.
Edited extra bit: ahem, younger than Seleucus and Lysimachus were when they... etc.

I self-identify as Centre. Possibly Centre-Right if you factor in my pro field sports thing too. But I'd have stuck myself in the 45% group.
Her entire campaign is based on TV ads and fawning Journalists.
That can also happen on an institutional level, such as the Catholic Church once believing the Earth was the centre of the universe. Or the view that if there's, saying, a changing climate the only possible cause must be the Evil of Man. Ahem.
Surely Obama's popularity has increased to 50 or just above it, but it's not close to 60%.
Thankfully I have my own average daily tracking poll that doesn't depend on monthly polls, less outliers this way.

I just know Trump and Farage would be saying 'look at all those Muslims celebrating on the anniversary of 9/11'
Did you go to New Anfield yesterday? The new TV camera view from the top of the stand is going to take a bit of getting used to!
Google for "hillary clinton on ground after collapsing" are from today.
The acoustics are really good.
If only David Moores and Rick Parry had gone down this route back in 2003.
Plus a few people just messing.

MORE ON #HILLARY per witness: "unexpected early departure"; she stumbled off curb, "knees buckled", lost a shoe as she was helped into van

This and her others previous " reported issues" does not sound like someone who should be considering running for president. If there is any ceremony in the year where total attendance is required and no candidate would ever leave unless it's seriously bad .....it's this one. It has to becoming a concern for her and family as well as to the electorate.

There is no one left to tell her to step down, she is the Democratic Party.
The only wings of the DNC that have some autonomy from her is NBC and Obama.
I doubt that Obama would publicly call for her to step down, but NBC can through it's shows.
But I also doubt that NBC has the power to force her out.
A trip there is on the list for next visit to the UK - at least the extra seats mean it's only bloody difficult rather than nigh on impossible to get a ticket!
And yes, they should have done it years ago, they've been losing millions a year in revenues to the competition for too long.
"It was the tallest. Then they built the World Trade Center. And it became known as the second tallest. Now it's the tallest again"
Doesn't sound like a brag to me.
I think the public and commentariat are all very confused.
She reminds me strongly of Jezza. The same irritation with questions she doesn't like and a rant against the interviewer. No wonder they get on well.
I bet she'd be the same with the French and South Korean foreign ministers (whoever they are). No problem with the Frogs but we don't want war with South Korea, so best keep her away.
Statements and actions can be different, especially in politics.
Shameful. It would be better if he said nothing at all on the matter.
Nevertheless, the point was actually that to some Tories Cameron was like a LD, and those people would definitely say the LDs were left wing.
