Thanks all re No Deal. So it was more a gauging of opinion than a vote, seeing as if they’d have voted yes they could very well have their No Deal and if they voted No, they could also have No Deal because the vote wouldn’t actually change the law.
This is all batshit crazy right?!
I’m interested to see how Brexit affects apathy toward politics, because I am very much fatigued by all this bullshit.

Because while the vote suggested parliament does not want no deal, it still did not indicate what other option it did want.
If parliament had supported no deal, that probably would have been that, May would have given up on her deal and we'd crash out at the end of the month.
But parliament did not support no deal, so it is not being actively pursued*, other than it remains the default.
The motion approved did not say " if we get to the end of march and we still haven't agreed what to do then revoke article 50", which is what would have been required to "rule out no deal" properly. If it had said that, it wouldn't have passed.
*Seem's to me May is purposely keeping it well in play to try and get people round to her deal.
