EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Lets hope they don't have an integrated supply chain - perhaps they get the tin from those Cornish mines.

Sky news reporting the Gov is considering 7 indicative vote options next week including revoke article 50

Apparently, that info might have jumped the gun and now No 10 are panicking (a rare occurrence, i grant you) and trying to retract it...

Even if they did, who now trusts them? MPs need to take control of parliamentary business for the next month and ensure May does their bidding (assuming she somehow manages to remain in office).

Can someone explain indicative votes?

If it's anything like the indicative votes used when the HoC tried to decide how to reform the HoL, the HoC will be given a menu of different alternatives to see if any of them meet with the approval of a majority of the HoC, and the HoC will fail to agree on any of them, leaving us in pretty much the same situation we're in at the moment.

ensure May does their bidding

First they need to agree what their bidding is, in a manner which doesn't involve unicorns and simply saying what they don't want to happen. And I can't see that happening any time soon.

I think May will get her deal through next week. MPs will blink at the last minute.

Some might, most won’t.

Duh. Brexit means Brexit.

Yeah, they really need some form of transferable vote, where they can pick 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice etc.

Otherwise the vote is split 3/4/5 ways with no option gaining a majority of the house.

They just need to get into the 21st fucking century.

Order, ooooorder, Unlock etc.......

The Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) has said Brexit could be delayed for another year if British MPs decide they want the government to radically change its policy.

Urgghhh.......... "faster trade deal in history" eh?

So much this. A vote to remove all of the pomp, archaic tradition OOOORDAHs and put the MPs in a normal room - that is a referendum I would get behind!

Can we unilaterally revoke Article 50 beyond 29 March (i.e. in the extended period) or do the rules change?

Sounds a bit boring. Can it at least be slowly filling up with water?

Yes. It all has to go. All the costumes, the prayers, the theatrics, the titles, the ridiculous hours, them facing off against each other.

They need to be put in a modern, light building, specifically designed with conflict resolution in mind and the MPs sat alphabetically.

Somewhere north of the M25.

hear hear!

This.

we were discussing the possibility last night IN JEST of the middle class marchers tomorrow pulling off some successful gunpowder plot type thing, then we use the insurance for the now demolished Houses of Parliament to build a new single chamber with accommodation in Stoke on Trent, nice and centrally located. Sell off the land in London to the oligarchs and split the profit between everyone as some kind of democracy - dividend.

Somewhere north of the A9

Yes, no respectively.

Relax everyone, Uri Geller is going to save us.
