M. Confirmatory public vote — DEFEATED 268 to 295

Drawn up by the Labour MPs Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson and tabled by the former foreign secretary Dame Margaret Beckett with the backing of scores of MPs across the house, this motion would require a public vote to confirm any Brexit deal passed by parliament before its ratification

Even if it was passed TM could have ignored it anyway.

Streeting perhaps forgets that many, many Labour seats voted out- we are member-led but our members have different ideas.

563 voted. I believe 649 can vote.

That leaves 86. 86 is a bigger number than 27. You're also assuming that more won't agree in future when it becomes clear parliament will never solve this issue.

I disagree. There shouldn't have been any whipping. The practice of whipping is now contempt of parliament as much as Dom Cummings.

Both main parties have deliberately sabotaged an admirable effort from "the sensible few" to find a workable consensus on a way forward. I can understand the gov.t whipping against the vote to have the votes - they knew they'd lose but probably had to whip for precedent's sake. After that passed it should have been a free-for-all.

No-one with any political sense thought any of these motions would get a majority today. It was about identifying ideas that attracted the most support.

1. Ken Clarke's permanent Customs Union.
2. Second referendum.

Both got more votes than May's deal's best effort so far.

As J2 mentioned - I think May's deal -v- Remain second referendum would get a majority.

No point. You don't seem to listen to anything much.

I liked the post about the Kurds' co-ops though, so you're not all bad. Assad and Turkey will put a stop to it of course.

Right because saying there's a possibility something could change based on logic is exactly the same as you having a tantrum.

Most popular option was a second referendum. How many times will May’s deal have to lose before it gets accepted? This is a weird kind of democracy.


A weird kind of democracy whereby we ignore the first vote as it was not the answer we wanted? What if we have a second one and leave wins again? Shall we try a third time?. I guess we know what the answer would have been if we voted remain originally, get over it leave lost.
Some democracy, yes very weird, feels like the Soviet Union.

The first referendum said 'we want to leave'. It didn't answer 'how do we leave?' as we weren't even asked that. That's what a second referendum would give people the chance to look at, despite our politicians inability to articulate what that even looks like.

Is this how you want to leave?

Rojova needs wide publicity and I was very glad to see someone had posted it up here. Capitalism likes to keep such things quiet.

And, yes, the US have sold them down the river.
