Guerrilla war: The parliamentary fight to stop no-deal Brexit politics.co.uk/blogs/2018/12/…
This should give you everything you need to know about what happens if MPs vote down May's Brexit motion.
It is a nightmare story of statute and standing orders and amendments, but in reality it is a knife fight between parliament and the government.
Don't listen to those saying no-deal is inevitable. It is not.
MPs can ensure the no-deal motion is amendable. They can amend a motion on a new deal. They can amend legislation. And they can bring the business of govt to a halt in the Commons.
This thing is doable. But it's going to grim. Basically we're about to find out if parliament really is ready to Take Back Control.
Managed to do my first typo, majestically, in the very first sentence. MPs will vote down Theresa May's deal, not her dal. I'm sure she makes a shitty dal too though.
...and now I'm hungry.
