A non-binding vote for a non-binding referendum.
Looks like The Will of the Parliament doesn't want that No Deal, would a referendum be down to Remain Vs Unknown?
I was wrong it was actually good!
I wonder if we'll be allowed to ignore this non-binding vote, but the other non-binding vote.

where's the no brexit option representing the 48% of the people's will? seems fair when you're going down the various faction's brexit fantasies

How do you reject a no-deal if that is the default for not having a deal?
I would guess cancelling Article 50 is the way to go if there's no deal.
Yeah but that isn't going to happen either is it?
I think it's kind of inevitable that the Tories will ignore this vote. I distinctly remember back when May's initial deal was rejected, and in her losers speech she referred to the amendment setting a three day deadline, quite cheekily, as "completely non-binding", inferring that if she WAS feeling dickish enough at that particular moment she'd give the middle finger to Parliament.
The amendment is non-binding so I'm fully expecting May to ignore it and go ahead with no deal anyways. T-60 days until Brexit.
Good to have on record that Parliament doesn't support no deal. Shame they haven't elected at this time to take any concrete steps to stop it
Hopefully once May's "new" deal inevitably falls apart there will be just enough time to push through something more meaningful.
Voted against deal, voted against no-deal, voted against extension, what the fuck is their plan then? Just hope that EU renegotiates the deal even though they have refused to do so multiple times? And 310 of them voted for no-deal. 310 tepid cunts that want to either profit from the destruction of their country or sacrifice it to keep their careers.
This is like when your put off your big school project that you need to finish so you can pass the class and graduate except its a country
Oh bugger mobile can't delete quotes I'm sorry. Honestly, I agree with the sentiment, and a shame I talked about it on the account I wiped. I definitely believe that I'd rather someone vote for a representative deemed useless than to not vote at all, but I'll admit that I've became a lot more cynical about the process, which is something I admittedly hate. I believe that a general election vote shouldn't solely be based around a single issue and chance of a candidate's success, but Brexit stances and the closeness of the local vote has definitely influenced me, and having conflicting feelings on it isn't doing me any help. My local MP voted against everything bar Brady's amendmet despite the EU's insistence that they won't budge on it. They went from towing the PM's line to voting against her deal, deciding to try and follow the hard Brexit type instead. With their local vote majority being <170 and edging closer towards the full on Brexit line, if there was a snap election I'd have no qualms with voting tactically, even if I thought that we shouldn't have to rely on it.
I think its pretty clear that britain is headed straight into an iceberg and when the next elections are finally held they will immediately set about getting back into the EU.
You won't see people change their minds on brexit until shop shelves are empty and the hospitals run out of medicine. Then they ~~~might~~~ accept it wasn't a good idea.
My favorite scene from last night https://mobile.twitter.com/DarranMarshall/status/1090290876448997377?s=09
No, they'll just blame the EU even more.
"They knew we'd be hung out to dry, why didn't they help us?"
Why don't you get free things in negotiations when you have literally no bargaining power I just don't get it.
“We should because we’re GOOD OL BLIGHTY BRITAIN you know WE HAD AN EMPIRE ONCE and we beat the krauts TWICE and I tell you by the QUEENS CROWN we’ll beat them a THIRD time!!!!!” thats it, that’s their reasoning
There's that and also people are willing to take this risk as after years of Tory Austerity so many people's lives are shit they don't really care if things get worse if there's a slim chance things could get better. The tories have just done a great job of making people forget that the whole reason things are so awful here are the result of their policies.
if monty python is still anything to go by you're absolutely right.
I don't understand it either, it seems the tories can literally kill your dog and rape its corpse while they make your children watch and nobody seems to remember it. but any other party fucks up once and they are terrible forever. The worst one being "the lib dems are shit because they didn't stop the tories screwing the country over."
