QUOTE(Harve @ Jan 14 2019, 05:20 PM)  My guess for tomorrow's vote. Discounting abstainers and the possibility of amendments no longer making it a straight vote on the government's deal. Against WA Conservative rebels: 98 DUP: 10 Labour: 246 Others: 57 For WA Conservatives: 219 Labour rebels: 8 (Ex-)LD rebel: 1 Ind: 3 411 against vs 231 for That was the prediction I legit told Lotti on Facebook yesterday, stop snooping my messages!! Well close, my prediction is: 230 for 409 against 11 Sinn Fein / Speaker / Deputies |

QUOTE(vidcapper @ Jan 14 2019, 06:14 AM) But what this follow-up vote wouldl not determine, is whether voters have actually changed their minds over leaving Yes it would. If Leave win again then the original voters, plus those who have switched to Leave, or voted for the first time to cover those who changed their mind or died, shows that more or less people are happy with the deal they got vs the deal promised. If Remain is the end, then that is democracy in action. Brexiters are still free to come up with a realistic plan to produce the end they can all agree on BEFORE splitting up parties and the country on vagueness and lies that they can't follow-through on. A decade down the line there's no reason why either side can't test opinion again if it's still as close it has been over the last 3 years. That's democracy, and that's why we had a vote in the first and second place. |

I wonder if it's occurred to Corbyn that Labour becoming the gov't now would be the ultimate poisoned chalice?
He'll be stuck with dealing with Brexit - if he supports it, he'll have to deal with any -ve consequences - if he doesn't, he'll be deemed as showing contempt for democracy... |

The chance of Labour forming a government is very, very low. To get a GE with the Fixed Term Parliament Act is incredibly difficult - and tabling a motion of no confidence in the government (possible that this will happen tonight with increasing amounts of pressure) will be defeated anyway as the Conservatives/DUP aren't likely to vote to cause their own government to fall. Still think with abstentions etc. that the margin of defeat tonight won't be as great as the media seem to be anticipating. Still a pretty baked in defeat though all the same. |

Corbyn can just get out, why he is still beating the drum about a GE - absolute muffins. We need to sort the mess out we are currently in.

She's just called Labour's bluff about a General Election. Guess we will see what happens now.
May has completely lost the plot, I know that. |

The government payroll vote (ministers plus ministerial aides) is around 120. That means only about 80 backbench MPs (not all of them Tories) voted for the deal.

QUOTE(danuary @ Jan 15 2019, 07:47 PM) What a non-surprise! It is a bit surprising actually - the government should win it easily and so it puts pressure on the Labour leadership to move on to supporting 'other options' including a second referendum. |

Wish the DUP would pull the plug on the Tories. Can't Corbyn promise them something in exchange for their support?

I can't see him doing that when so many Labour constituencies voted to Leave. |

As you can see from my above prediction, I knew she would lose badly but by 230 votes is catastrophic.
How on earth any government is able to pick themselves up from such a monumental defeat, I don't know. |
