Even if they'd lost the vote, they'd have the high ground
They'd now be making political capital with Leavers & Remainers
An election winning #Brexit neutral position which makes Brexit about Tory incompetence & recklessness
Unfortunately..
Not only did they allow the "overwhelming vote for A50" line to surface, they have nowhere to go in attacking the Government, because they voted for A50 with no plan too
A definite vote winner on all sides
Shame really/
