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.

Public vote got the most votes though.

Revoking was always going to be shot down as it was in the SNP's name

Fuck sake.

Pmk

Oh dear

Long time lurker trying desperately to understand (often failing)

So even after all that the outcome is parliament still cant decide what it actually does want.

Is that right?

@SamCoatesTimes
Indicative votes

So in favour of the following propositions, in order of popularity:

2 Ref 268
CU 264
Lab 237
Revocation 184
Common Market 2.0 188
No Deal 160
Malthouse B
EEA 65

Clarke and Beckett are most viable.

That's the point. What can they work with.

The party split will be interesting.

Pathetic if they dont vote for something they agree with just because its SNP. Fucker..

I thought we were all assuming everything would be a no at this stage, but the top ones will go forward to another round? At least, that's what I was assuming and I thought had been predicted by someone earlier.

Pmk.

This is not surprising. And another pointer that they should have done this 2 and 1/2 years ago.

Good point from ian blackford there

Good point on the PV. got more votes than mays deal.

Blackford making a good point there re. more points for PV than has been achieved for MV on WA

Fucking TM all smug there

Not a fecking general election.... 🙄 🙄 🙄

Numbers:

Jo Swinson
@joswinson
HoC Brexit indicative votes: FOR-AGAINST

160-400 No Deal
188-283 Common Market 2.0
65-377 EFTA & EEA
264-272 Customs Union
237-307 Labour's 'plan'
184-293 Revoke A50
268-295 Public vote
139-422 WTO terms

The result this evening ties in with what some pundits were saying in that Letwin might have actually helped May get her WA through.

The unicorns are back....
Does anyone over there realize that the EU does not want to reopen negotiations? Why are the fucking around with ideas in the 10th hour? They had years to do this....

I'm surprised that revoke got as many as it did and I can see a PV becoming more inevitable.

I was surprised how high the ayes were for revoke tbh.

Oh, FFS. No majority for anything.

It is a bit like the European voting system.
Get rid of the weak options. Vote on the rest.
Margaret Beckets referendum was so close
Yes 268 No 295

Can someone explain what the Clark proposition; a UK customs union is please?

Stella Creasy is on Twitter saying that they redo the votes on Monday again.

All of them??

The soft Brexit options seemed to be doing the best, which is hopeful, at least.
