If EU offered short extension conditional on Withdrawal Agreement passing and May brought MV3 to Commons on 28th March (via paving motion to get round Bercow) it seems to me very likely it would pass. Really would be credible “my deal or no deal” crunch vote.
Lab MPs, whether 2nd ref or soft Brexit fans, would surely not risk no deal at that point. Or, at least, only a minority would. And would Corbyn whip against govt, knowing this meant whipping MPs to vote for a No Deal?
So while May’s behaviour does indeed look craven, disingenuous etc given less that a week ago she pledged a long extension it has a logic to it as it framed the choice in the way the PM has been trying to frame it all along: my deal or no deal.
