There was a majority to invoke Article 50 though, a massive one. And everyone knew at the time that the default position was no deal if no withdrawal agreement could be reached. Parliament agreed to invoke A50, knowing there was no withdrawal agreement on the table at that time, and not having agreed (or even started to try and agree) what the withdrawal agreement should contain.

yeah I know. i see how we're fucked. all the previous no-deal avoiding should have been to change the default option to revoke rather than crash out. then we could have had a shot at mays deal, rather than comparing it with the mystical no deal that we've got.

It was so odd when they did that. It was passed so easily - with relatively little dissent from what I remember. It seemed a fairly seismic statement of intent to me.

Surely if there is no majority to do something we should do nothing, rather than burn everything down.
