Topic	brexit deal is done
Crepes 10/20/19 12:19:16 AM #36:	Joenage posted... Parliament voted today to essentially force PM to request a delay to Brexit until legislation is passed edit: sorry misread your post. You're right it is there to avoid a deal passing today and then the government intentionally or unintentionally failing to pass it into law next week and us heading for No Deal. Considering how little Boris can be trusted it's not the stupidest idea to want to put that sort of protection in place. In case people didn't know there are two stages to accepting the deal... 1) It gets passed in the house of commons 2) It then gets enacted into law on another vote The Letwin amendment was there to ensure that if the deal passed today to satisfy the Benn Act that the government couldn't then deliberately or not deliberately fail to have is pass next week into law and us having no deal on the 31st. Leaving on the 31st is the default position at the moment until the EU decide to extend, assuming they will. If we're assuming everyone is acting in good faith then there was literally no reason I can think of for The Tories not to hold the vote on the deal today. If they really wanted to go ahead with the deal they could have had the vote today and then enact it into law next week but they decided not to. The only reasons I can think for not holding the vote is: 1) They want to continue the blame game and use this as an excuse for the deal not passing. 2) They never had any intention of getting the deal into law and Letwin amendment called their bluff. Happy to hear other interpretations. --- Praxis Makes Perfect The only intelligent tactical response to life's horror is to laugh defiantly at it. ~Soren Kierkegaard <cite>Crepes posted [p:928992740] in brexit dea...
