Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostI think it's more like to be membership of the EEA, which is basically what Labour are pushing for, to "respect" the vote of the referendum.
May has set out the red lines for the U.K., agreed and cheered on by the Brexiters. She’s not going to all of a sudden reverse her stance and say that FoM and ECJ are now no longer red lines.
This agreement is the natural conclusion of those red lines.Comment

If May fails and the UK is heading for a no deal, it would be the only alternative with a majority in parliament. Labour, the SNP and 50 Tory MP's would see it passed. Whether May would be the prime minister is another matter.I'm alright JackComment

Which only leaves whether or not she will be PM.
There is no time left for a general election, and no viable candidate to replace her. Without a GE there is no mandate for EEA, and even with a GE this would require that EEA be put forward as an option in a manifesto. It’s possible, but wishful thinking.
This agreement is the only one that fulfils the red lines. May’s red lines, that Brexiters supported in full when they were drawn.Comment
