Sounds like May may be opening the door to a second referendum or a parliamentary vote on revoking their prior Article 50 declaration?

It's looking more like May might get her deal approved on the 3rd try. Her opponents evidently were starting to realize that they were approaching a point where either they voted for her bill, or there was going to be no Brexit. Then she made her commitment to step down once Brexit occurred, which was another strong enticement for her opponents. Whether that's enough to get her over the line...Well, now we know what MPs don’t want... no idea what they’re prepared to agree they do want...
^Interesting point since it seems that one of the narratives is that anyone trying to leave the EU will made an example. At the same time, the consequences are severe because they don't want anyone to leave. There's perhaps the fine line that it being walked with Britain where, being a bigger member, they're going to get as many chances to change their mind but still in-line for a walloping if they don't.
Excellent! 6 months of peace and quiet before two weeks of crisis. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47889404
Hey, this increases the odds you guys stick around in the EU. I'm cool with that.
May's recent thing about maybe making progress with Labour on a single customs union is sort of dumbfounding - a duty-free free trade customs union with the EU, but keeping the UK's sovereignty to make their own trade deals on their own terms? That's contradictory.
They're more like your Dems, but they want to privatise everything. But yeah, they're our "right wing" party.Torries are the republicans of the UK right?
Yeah I thought they were the right wing conservatives. At least that's what the vicar of Dibley led me to believe...They're more like your Dems, but they want to privatise everything. But yeah, they're our "right wing" party.
