Why Do They Keep Peacing Into The Wind With Indicative Votes?

[ToraToraTora]

How will that help? The EU would have to agree to anything and they ain't budging. So stop peace harrising about and leave with no deal.

[Old_Geezer]

I assume they believe they've found a legal way to overrule the government and betray the people. Otherwise it's all hot air.

[ichkeria]

Several of the options are, ironically, based on the Withdrawal agreement. Certainly Ken Clarke’s is.
Also, we know now that the EU will agree to a longer extension.
So it is not quite as simple as that.
I think you need to accept that No Deal is dead. I suspect, myself, Brexit died this afternoon. What a day for it to happen.

[ToraToraTora]

I'll accept no deal is dead when it's alleviated, at the moment it's favourite and the default.

[ichkeria]

Lol parliament can’t really be said to be overruling the government. When the government had a plan that was maybe the case.But the plan is dead. In any case parliament is there to overrule the government should it think fit. Normally by voting it down rather than procedurally, but these are unusual times.

[Old_Geezer]

When the plan 'A' is dead, the default original intent continues. Not up to others to try to force a no-Brexit deal.

[ichkeria]

Yes No Deal is still on the table. A bit like a dish no one wants to eat any more. No one ordered it: it came compliments of the House, and it’s been sat there scaring the wits out of the diners who didn’t much like anything else on menu either.
But it seems the chef will in the end be taking it away.

[naomi24]

[gulliver1]

hereIam 16.54, Can not wait to pick up my winnings tomorrow .
And to the leader of the African artillery, it is not fantasy , it is fact. OK!

[naomi24]

Haa! Who are the African artillery?

[hereIam]

OK !!! If you say so ...

[Old_Geezer]

It will go down in history, as "The Folly of the Commons".

If anybody ever has the inclination to enter 'gulliver' in the search box on AB, and then stretches that inclination further to actually read its posts, it quickly becomes obvious that it is a troll.

It genuinely believes that McDonnell would be good for our economy, Corbyn would be good for the country and Abbott would be good for our security.

Gulliver repeatedly shows itself up to be of weapons grade stupidity.

It is best ignored.

[Calicogirl]

I think you'll find that Gulliver just disagrees with you (to 'weapons grade' proportions)- that doesn't make him a troll.

[ichkeria]

I would like to know what the African artillery thing is about ;-)

[Cloverjo]

What’s the difference between ‘meaningful’ votes and ‘indicative’ votes? I know what the words mean but they haven’t made the slightest bit of difference in any outcome.

[-Talbot-]

Both mean nothing.

The real votes are yet to come...the meaningful indicative votes
