It looks like the WA is now very close to being presented to the Cabinet, and then presumably to parliament. I don't think it will pass parliament, and as others have written about very well, it's then a question of what comes next.
That the EU would allow an extension of the A50 process for a referendum that doesn't have "remain" as an option is, I think, fantasy - what's in it for them? Or possibly more accurately, why on earth would they allow an extension for a referendum that had "no deal" as an option. It would be lunacy - and they're being admirably logical, unlike our bunch.
But that does leave the possibility of May trying to fit a fresh referendum into the time remaining, and if she does, with "no deal" or "TM's deal" as the only options, what is best to vote for?
My thinking here is that the unthinkable option would be the best - to vote for no-deal, and thus to engineer a situation in which we are teetering on the edge of the cliff, rocking in the breeze.
I don't think that May could survive that, and with the only deal on offer having been voted down, what option is left for the new government?
