Dickie 0 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Does this mean there is a chance we won't leave after all? If MPs vote against article 50 will that be it kyboshed or just postponed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Does this mean there is a chance we won't leave after all? If MPs vote against article 50 will that be it kyboshed or just postponed? In theory, that's what it sounds like, although you'd have to have quite a show of support from the public for that many MPs to countenance doing such a thing. The good thing is it'll give them nowhere to hide. So if, as people think, Corbyn voted out of the EU, he'll do so again here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 This could force a GE. Yes, let's hope not. Labour are nowhere near ready for that. That said, Labour could ride the wave of the Remainers vote if they play it correctly. It could become a single issue GE. Fucking hell, it'd be an absolute bloodbath...

Rayvin 4964 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Yeah, tribalism in politics might get them over the line anyway. It's a really interesting one and I'd actually like to see the MPs deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30372 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 If they'd had a vote in Parliament instead of the shambles of the referendum then they would've agreed to remain by a huge majority. Now they'll all be banging on about :quotes:The will of the British people like that normally concerns them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Yeah but you know, he'll have some stuff about holding people's feet to the fire and so on. And UKIP look rudderless without him. It's hard to call this though - you'd think all Labour MPs would vote for Remaining. The Lib Dems would and the SNP would. UKIP's one MP would vote for Brexit. So it's really down to the Tories - I could see BoJo voting Remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19808 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 it's perfectly logical, when you think about it, for a decision of this magnitude to be scrutinised by MPs. it's in the national interest. why it was ever put to a referendum in the first place, when the great unwashed have so little comprehension of the implications of leaving, is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 It seems the backlash has started - The government has made clear it's going ahead anyway, with or without the courts apparently (wtf?), UKIP are up in arms calling for the judges to be sacked, the Brexiters are apoplectic... Labour incidentally has made clear previously (through the PLP rather than Corbyn, I hasten to add) that they wouldn't seek to prevent Brexit if Parliament was able to scrutinise it. Just to ensure the best possible deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see quite how they can do that. The EU would have to now reject any attempt to trigger Article 50 that hasn't been ratified by parliament.
