What is the difference? 16
So, nowhere is the figure 630, or 8, as per your post.
I know you support Brexit, so hate facts, but some of us prefer to avoid the lies popular amongst Trump supporters and Brexiters, both groups are known for claiming any fact that counters their emotional argument must be "fake news"…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

650MPs less 7 from SF less the speaker and his deputies (3off) who are politically impartial and therefore dont vote. So 11 off 650 equals 639. Now 627 voted so either 12 abstained or just couldn't be bothered to turn up or some other excuse. Of the 627 that actually chose to vote, 310 voted against the motion and 318 for the motion. Therefore the vote was won by 8 votes and only 8 votes as you cant count abstentions or non voters one way or t'other.
8 votes is 1.2% of MPs that are eligible to vote (NOTE: SF are eligible to vote they just choose not to turn up to do so). Hardly a resounding victory.
One wonders how some of you manage to find you way out of bed in the morning.

May told members of her top team that ruling out no deal in public would remove a key bargaining chip in negotiations with the EU, the Sun reported, citing a cabinet source.Comment

Still convinced we're going to be leaving without a deal. Still not seen anything to suggest otherwise. There are only two realistic escape routes:
1) May comes back in two weeks having failed to renegotiate anything and puts the existing withdrawal agreement to a vote and realising it's the only way to guarantee no deal, the House reluctantly backs it.
or
2) May revokes A50 at the last minute when all options have been exhausted.
Both of the above seem incredibly unlikely and I'm not even sure the second one is possible because as well as revoking A50 I would have thought that the existing the EU legislation would need to be repealed or superseded and I'm not certain what the process for that would be.
There's also the option of asking to extend the date, even just to give some time to figure out what will happen next but it's a gamble as it's not guaranteed.
That only leaves one option from where I'm sitting.Last edited by TheCyclingProgrammer; 30 January 2019, 16:56.Comment
