Soooo is no-deal Brexit more or less likely now? This whole thing is easily the most chaotic political thing I've followed in a first world country.

As I will never get tired of pointing out, Boris has hosed it so hard he is now literally incapable of voting himself out of office.

Why would you vote for the Brexit Party when the Tories just tried to Brexit so hard they ruined their majority? So much credibility.

doesn't a bill saying they can't no-deal brexit not matter because it just means they can't intentionally do that, but if they have no deal by october 31st it will just default to no-deal anyway?

I'm trying to understand so please set me straight:
-tonights vote broke the thin Tory majority that resulted from the last general election. Also the original plan of running the clock to force a no-deal Brexit has failed as a result
-BoJo is (was?) threatening to call a new election, Corbyn is daring him to do it

A friend of mine keeps up with UK politics more than I do. She says an election would be bad for Labour and good for Leave in general (though not necessarily the Tories). How does this figure? Is Labour doing that poorly? If so, why?

not quite: due to the fixed-terms parliament act, calling a new election during the given parliamentary term ends requires a 2/3rds majority vote, something that bojo absolutely does not have. the rebels' intention is to pass legislation binding whoever the PM is to seek an extension before the due date, which subsequently dynamites bojo's plans

realistically, an election likely wouldn't result in a meaningful changing of the guard one way or the other; it would just be another way of eating into the remaining parliamentary time for bojo, but now that his bluff's been called he really doesn't have poo poo left in his hand to play, unless he's somehow just going to try and ignore/sabotage the binding legislation

can’t he torpedo the extension? like, ask the EU on October 30th for an extension and half of France or something?

he can certainly sabotage the extension discussions, which would cause an enormous political scandal and throw all of parliament into a constitutional crisis

at this point i'm starting to wonder if the EU will even offer another extension. a lot of MPs were driven by desperation and a sense of noblesse oblige to turn tail on their party of choice, but that doesn't mean anyone's any more likely to sit around a corbyn-led dinner table and break bread. replacing one awful tory PM with a different awful tory PM isn't going to erase the all-consuming paralysis that's defined the U.K. parliament for the past 3 years
