How does that work exactly? Are there a certain number of MPs who need to be in Parliament to establish a quorum?

the queen can just cancel parliament for up to 14 days

mps customarily play video games for the duration, which is why the british call a period of 2 weeks "fortnite time"

Is it possible to steal one of those and convene an anti-parliament?

May's instructed her cabinet to abstain from voting today. Bets on who votes anyway?

What's with May telling Parliament that they need to make up their mind on what to do for weeks and then trying as hard as possible to not let Parliament make up its mind on anything but her deal.

It honestly would be a good idea to strengthen NATO by increasing it's funding and getting more organized as to who contributes what

NATO can still exist with an EU Miltary, it'd just be the US Miltary and the EU Miltary rather than the US and 27 small armies. It'd be better for everyone except the defense contractors in the US.

Frankly, it would let the EU handle issues with Russia and the Mid-east and let the US focus on China in the Pacific if we're talking about how best to keep Western hegemony alive.

I think this can all be solved if your parliament just holds a vote, on May's deal or any deal with some...oompfh. A vote with some sort of...weight behind it. A....vote with meaning.

Nope, the PV lot and the CM2.0 lot are having a peoples front of judea/judean people's front moment.

Which is obviously darkly hilarious for centrists who like to tout their ability to work with everyone

just confirming but the fact that something like 1/3 of the electorate signed a petition calling for stopping brexit entirely has entered the minds of absolutely none of the politicians who supposedly represent their constituents?
