    I think the idea would be to give parliament the choice between extending transition and falling into the backstop. It's purely a cosmetic concession.
    But, useful if it gives MPs a reason to switch.

    The Labour party are not voting it down because they support Remain but because they want to bring down the government. Tory Remainers don't have the votes to pass the deal even if they wanted to.

    Labour's objective uber alles must be to force a GE. So why would they not quietly encourage a little Flint et ilk rebellion against the party line of opposing May's deal, just enough so it squeaks through? Then they might get the government falling with loss of the DUP conf & supply and they might get to fight a slam dunk GE against a tory party which has a large section of its supporters livid about the 'treacherous brexit sellout'. That's what I would be thinking if I was Johnny Mac and Seamus. Or would I?

    The problem is that the vote isn't close enough for that to work.
  • Nah, No Deal Brexit and Corbyn is what is more likely.

    Remainers are voting it down because they are trying to sabotage Brexit. They can not stand that the people voted Leave and so are determined to not allow a deal. That is why they created six mutually impossible tests.

    You lot bang on about taking responsibility but are far too feckless to do it on your own irresponsible actions. Any economic damage or political extremism that results from No Deal will now be on you. The Brexit side has a workable deal that satisfies most concerns of both sides and will allow the country to move on. Remainers are blowing that up out of spite.

    What is incorrect?
    1. The Brexit bill payable to Brussels is not £50 billion
    2. We would not have to pay £10 billion a year if we took the Norway option. As Andy Cooke pointed out last night on the same basis as Norway it would be about £4.9 billion. Actually a few of us on here did the calculations last year and the commitments would be around £3 billion.
    3. We would not have surrendered all power and influence. In many areas Norway has far more power and influence within the Single Market than we do as they are not bound by QMV.
    4. The Norwegians do not refer to their EEA membership as ‘integration without representation’. A small number of their politicians are vociferously pro EU and view things that way but many others are not and the population as a whole much prefers the EEA relationship to full EU membership.
    5. Leaving the CAP and CFP does not require us to remain in the Irish backstop.

    Firstly it was all the remainers fault that the deal on the table wasn't up to scratch (I knew we could never trust that Mrs May.) Now it seems that the deal is fine, but it's those awful remainers who are sabotaging it by voting against. And of course they selfishly voted to deny the Tories their majority for a hard Brexit in the GE last year - how much more can we put up with them standing in the way of the national interest like that?

    Frankly, I wouldn't trust a remainer to make me a cuppa or tie my shoelaces any more.

    Every election since 1974 has been held in either the spring or summer because politicians think that voters might be in more of an irritable and bad mood if they have to vote in winter or autumn. It'll be interesting to see what happens if we do have a January or February election. A February election certainly didn't work out for Edward Heath.

    Tactically ERG Tory MPs and others in the party who have declared against the deal should reconsider their opposition and support it. It will still fail due to the opposition of the DUP but it will have the effect of switching the spotlight to the likes of Soubry, Woolaston and the other hard line remainiacs who would have to justify why they alone on the Tory benches are choosing to oppose the PM's deal with the EU if, as likely, that is what they choose to do.

    To be fair to RT, he insults me too, and I identify as male :)

    The problem that Leavers have given me is that when they say "Piss off abroad" is that I used to be able to, but now cannot as I only have UK residance rights, so 31 fewer countries to move to*.
    I am not saying piss off abroad. That is the last thing I want people to do. I am criticising someone who openly talks about being able to piss off abroad when the actions they are promoting cause chaos in our country.

    You would move from god's own county? How could you even contemplate it?

    But I am a Remainer - it is Brexit that is wrecking the country, and although I am able to go abroad, I have not done so.

    That said, I think I could get a job in Australasia quite easily...

    As your insults are of the most pedestrian variety and embarrass you more than anything else I am fine with it. But I see that you are very loose-lipped when it comes to women.

    And my subtantive point about you being dim remains. Not to understand the dynamic on the island of Ireland as you have demonstrated you don't, disqualifies you from taking part in any discussions about it.
    I understand it far better than you do. And given the only woman I have knowingly insulted on here is Beverley whilst I am pleased to have insulted dozens of men, I would suggest your grasp of maths is about as accurate as your grasp of Irish history.

    Does PETA stand for People Eating Tasty Animals?

    Actually unless you and Scott are women you will find I am very happy to insult both males and females equally.

    As Jonathan Pie said in one of his pieces on mansplaining recently. "If I talk to you in an insulting or patronising manner it is not because you are a woman, it is because you are a fucking moron".

    The same applies in a select number of cases on here.

    Says the man who believes, along with the other Brexiter morons on here (some of whom are teenagers so can be forgiven) that the backstop should or could be junked.

    Assuming we get to Remain after all, do you think Tommy Robinson would get elected as an MEP?

    Yorkshire?
