Westminstenders: Arse about Face

[RedToothBrush]

Everything about Brexit seems to have been done wrongly.

Setting red lines to rule out a compromise

The attempt to use executive power to trigger A50, that resulted in a court case

Triggering A50 before knowing what the UK wanted

Agreeing to the backstop before any Tory MP understood the GFA

Appointing a Brexit minister before checking he understood where Dover was.

May going on about NI and pissing off the DUP before they were just about to climb down.

Having a Meaningless Vote repeatedly with a gun to head.

Contempt of Parliament and just general fucking up.

Tonight, 3 days before we were due to leave the HoC finally sat down to decide what Brexit outcomes they thought would be a good idea - more than 2years after that should have happened.

And we now we are told the meaningful vote might be may even more meaningless by being wrapped up in the illusive Withdrawal Agreement Implimentation Bill.

Farce doesn't even cover it.

Anyway Indicative Vote results incoming in approx 15 mins.

The confirmatory second referendum, had 48% for, 52% against!

So if I understand the situation, Theresa May doesn't have enough support to resign successfully

It's been pointed out on twitter that if it goes to deadlock on X Factor it always goes back to the public vote. 😂😂😂

...

I really don’t think tonight was too bad.

I did not expect as many to vote for PV

I think Ind group, SNP and LD played it right.

I now believe we will get a PV.

.

Good Lord, how many acronyms!

Thank you, Random18. Initially dismaying that there was no majority for anything, but it's a process and hopefully something can be sorted out next week.

Stephen Kinnock reportedly abstained on PV.

Alan Duncan voted for No Deal???

My stupid bastard MP voted for no deal. He’s a dickhead that never writes back.

Belated ta red

Mine too, ThereWillBeAdequateFood. Total and utter tosser, I loathe him

Mine did vote for revoke. Which is amazing but would put me in a difficult situation at GE because I can’t stand JC but can’t fault my labour MP...

My MP showed his true colours tonight. Had no idea of his Brexit views as he keeps his head well below the parapet and has never defied the Tory whip.

Today he voted for the Barron no deal motion and against literally everything else. Had actually emailed him for the first time this morning asking him to vote for anything to prevent a no deal - clearly that had a huge effect!

cherin Me too - also can’t stand JC. But my labour MP is ace, could not be better.

Queenofthorns MPs don't choose the actual wording - the Electoral Commission does that

However, MPs did state the basic choices for the 2016 ref - Leave or Remain
and they would have to state the choices of any new PV

îmo, the individual MP is important
We shouldn't just vote for / against rosettes* - that's how the country gets led by donkeys

(*unless we disagree with the guiding principles of the party, e.g. BNP or UKIP)

My MP also voted for No Deal.

This does not surprise me one bit, as he is a Brexit fanatic who hates Europe with a passion. Fancies himself as a straight-talking salt-of-the-earth type. What's WRONG with these people, ffs? Why are they so vitriolic in their hatred?

Pickle Jadziz Mine’s Charlie Elphicke . He voted Remain but this constituency was 62% Leave so he gone full-on gung ho wiilodapeeps.

How your MP voted on the 8 options, from the Guardian

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-interactive/2019/mar/27/how-did-your-mp-vote-in-the-indicative-votes

My MP voted Revoke! I feel all warm inside.

We are 64% Remain in the referendum so should be expected, but considering everyone's voting record there are no guarantees.

According to the Guardian May’s emotional resignation speech convinced quite a few MPs to back her deal.
Wouldn’t it be funny if she did manage to get it through and then decided not to resign.
