Question from a non-UK goon: what does passing a "no no deal" amendment accomplish without having a deal? My understanding was that if you make it to Brexit Day without some kind of agreement in place or cancelling Article 50, you're automatically ejected from the EU and no deal is the default state of things.

The EU is open to the UK extending article 50, it just requires there to be a big political change in the UK - a new referendum or general election, for example. Eliminating "No Deal" would mean the government would be bound to announce such a political change if they have no deal to use on March 29th.

I mean it depends on the text of the amendment, really. Saying the house doesn't accept it might be a spur to alternative action, but just saying it by itself doesn't give the government an instruction, especially as the government has a deal and the house rejected it.

I would suggest that it might be relevant to Bercow when it comes to selecting amendments and possibly deciding on the business of the house if the government tries to get obstructive.

Your understanding is correct. It's basically like declaring that pizza is lovely and we like pizza. It will not make pizza appear out of thin air.

It is a necessary step to figuring out an alternative, basically at the moment the house doesn't know what the gently caress it wants and May has spent basically the last two years stalling them and saying "gonna get yez the best fukkin deal you wait" and then it turns out the deal is the same poo poo it's always been and everyone hates it, which we all already knew.

The crazy and tragic part is that I am confident either one of Norway+ or May's deal would pass pretty comfortably... in a secret ballot. Plenty of MPs who think No Deal is bad, but don't want to vote for one deal or the other, or for any deal at all, because they want to keep their seats.

I mean, many things would pass in a secret ballot... there's a reason we don't have them for elected representatives, however.

Hmmm, looking at a map I think you're right, the definition used for it seems to be "furthest point away from the coast", which is at Meriden near Coventry, which is what I was referring to. It could also be the geographic centre weighted by population, but I'm honestly not sure.

The article says it took place in Hay On Wye, which while technically on the Welsh side of the border, is about as English as you can get. I lived in the general area for a few years, and you could go for weeks without hearing Welsh.

Bercow is too lenient for my taste but I do think that the main effect of May's premiership might be cementing Bercow as one of the best speakers, both in terms of his job and in terms of dunks.

I just don't understand why anyone would want "sovereignty". I despise nationalism and don't care about my country. I left Portugal and don't want to return. And now because of assholes like these, the whole European project is in risk of collapse. I am now used to making over 3000 Euros net and would rather die than go back to below that. My degree has no application in my home country but now apparently I should have had the loving foresight when I was 15 to become a farmer and get used to living in poverty because as it turns out I was living in an anomaly that was about to come crashing down. As well as avoid forming attachments to anyone in the UK (the only people who understand my mental health problems and are remotely empathetic to them all live there). All because of loving racists. gently caress.

If it helps I've met many people from Portugal who moved to London to have a better job and a better life. I hear Portugal simply cannot compete in terms of living standards, wages, interesting jobs, job market in general etc, it's a very understandable decision to move somewhere else instead.
