The most on-brand thing for May out of those four options is an extension. She never backs down, I don't even think she knows how.

The problem is that she can't secure an extension without a referendum or an election. And parliament knows this, so depending on how it goes, if she just goes and asks for an extension without a reason, that might not constitute fulfilling the instruction.

My home democracy (Danish) is all done in the backrooms and the entire parliamentary play is just that, a play.

So this is loving amazing to watch.

I mean that's usually how ours works too, but hey, we are now STONG AND STRABBLE since May decided an election in 2017 would crush the saboteurs.

I don't quite understand the strategy of anti-Brexit MPs here: doesn't this make Brexit more likely now? As in, won't hard Brexit No Dealers be far more likely to push May's deal through now, if she puts it before the house once again, if the only credible options are May'd deal or no Brexit?

When she's requesting that extension I'd like to be a fly on the wall and hear the EU discuss how much confidence they have in her actually producing something worthwhile before the EU elections

Now that I understand it, it's absolutely hilarious

The government made a motion and then it got amended by a 4 vote majority (in a free vote) into a significantly different motion.

Now the government wants to whip against the amended motion, and now at least one Tory faction is going to be pissed off

Essentially the government's position is weak at the moment, bercow is getting sick of them, parliament just rejected no deal, may's deal is dead, and we're at the deadline. It's all a bit weird cos what happens is gonna be heavily determined by who puts what amendments and motions up and if/how bercow enforces the prerogative of the house over the government.

100 Tory abstentions, about 50 Referendumers given they voted against it. Good numbers if you want to stop Brexit.

It's gonna be kinda darkly amusing if after all this there's a desperate third meaningful vote on March 26th and the ERG has to vote for it to make Brexit happen in the first place.

Unicorn amendment (Delay to May 22nd and have a transition period until 2021) just got rejected by 210 votes

Next vote is to pass the entire motion, with amendment A. So we want this to pass, I think. This would be the government getting its motion hijacked by its own rebels and party.

I remember seeing a thing a while back, quite possibly on youtube, which was about how reporters in the uk media have changed.

They used to actually try to get information from people in a sensible manner, pressing them where necessary but not getting all paxman on them.... and now every fucker like Maitliss thinks they need to be shouting at people and poo poo during interviews. Paxman was actually decently good at it as he understood when to press and how to do it but the people who've tried to imitate him are cunts and just don't get it - they apply the same base logic of "get shouty and angry at people" but with none of the nuance or finesse.

Does anybody know where I might have seen this? It seems like something Charlie Brooker might have done on Newswipe but I'm not sure.

So since A passed in the first place you'd except the entire motion to pass. Unless they voted it in as a poison pill.

Also when bercow asks for an aye/nay shout is that literally just him asking "do we need to go to division on this?"

In principle, yes, I think. But we still need some actual mechanism to do that.

Yup. They literally need to leave the room and then get back in through two separate entrances where they are counted. Parliamentary procedure in the 21st century.

Yes, if he only calls for a full division of the house of there are two sides that aren't massively lop sided.
