apelike   10 #5749 Posted November 14, 2018 A vote of no confidence is coming and the only way she can dodge this cannonball is for a People's Vote because the only alternative is a GE.  Dont be daft. The possibility of a Peoples Vote is just that, a possibility, but highly improbable as parliament will not allow the public to dictate to them what to do. A GE solves nothing either as the time will shortly be up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

RJRB Â Â 688 #5753 Posted November 14, 2018 Mrs May has another testing day as she must now argue that a bad Brexit deal is better than a no deal Brexit. The ramifications for Northern Ireland,Scotland and the U.K.have been postponed . So we have a lower case u turn,when What is needed is a U turn which recognises that our current full membership of the EU is better than any form of zBrexit. Political short term expediency will ensure that this chaotic and shambolic farce will rumble on and on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

A GE solves nothing either as the time will shortly be up.  Even if they did, from what I have read we ran out of time to organise such a referendum long ago because Article 50 is already triggered. Which leaves the only options as this deal or no deal (unless the EU allows us to extend the Article 50 period). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

There is an ECJ case to heard whether the U.K. can unilaterally cancel Article 50. If it rules we can, there is still plenty of time for another referendum. Â The legal framework around Article 50 in the Lisbon Treaty was written in a way as to be deliberately vague. If the U.K. wants to cancel Article 50 want to guess which way the ECJ will lean?

If the U.K. wants to cancel Article 50 want to guess which way the ECJ will lean?  I am aware of that case, but I very much doubt many MPs would vote to revoke it even if they could. So I would regard it as not a real option.  The EU extending the article 50 period seems more likely, assuming they could get all the relevant euro people and groups to sign off on it.
