Time to choose: UK Parliament set for crucial vote on May's Brexit deal

My money is on "wow it's fucking nothing" for the second time.
this thread title is so out dated, seemingly every other day has been "Time to Decide!"
Nah, it works, every day has been the "Time to Choose", just so happens that everyday nothing was really chosen.
But that makes the thread title up to date.
Imagine if the British parliament actually managed to choose, then the mods would be unable to change the out of date title and we would have to make a new thread.
I disagree. The thread title is still very much up-to-date considering TM is still trying to vote for her Brexit deal after three times.
How nice of Parliament to consider our needs.
Motion C: Customs union - Proposer: Ken Clarke, Conservative
Motion D: 'Common Market 2.0' - Proposer: Nick Boles, Conservative
Motion E: Confirmatory public vote - Proposers: Peter Kyle and Phil Wilson, Labour
Motion G: Parliamentary supremacy - Proposer: Joanna Cherry, Scottish National Party

Looks at the comments on posts like this. Leavers seriously think they'd still be calling to leave now if the vote had been Remain.

So interested to see if anything passes
Come on Kyle-Wilson
Gas prices go up in France, the nation explodes.
Brexit gets closer, the English get naked.
Fucking slowclap to James Heappey for that comment though.
All of parliament: Don't look. Don't look. Don't look.

If there is anything that makes me want to throw Corbyn into the Cor-bin, as shit tabloids are fond, it's his Euroskepticism blinding him to Brexit. You might as well have had Boris run Labour since May invoked A50 for all that it would've mattered.
Great way to make yourself look like absolute morons and damage the cause.
I'm sorry, but Brexit is a tiny bit more pressing at the moment than Climate Change, as important as that issue is.
Really?
Nothing is more pressing than the fact that none of us will have children that are free to enjoy the world we grew up in. I don't care, that's the most pressing concern to the human fucking race that there is anywhere.
Dealing with climate change so that the future isn't a shambles far outweighs ANY political aim or desire of the day aside from stopping apartheids or the like. Nothing should, or does, come close.
350 Million climate refugees kind of puts Brexit into the "small potatoes" camp.
It would be a different case if the Brexit deadline was a few months away, but it's 2 weeks and has already been delayed.
A hard Brexit would probably make actions on climate change harder to perform as well, as parliament would be busy dealing with the fallout in all likelihood.
Also, this is just my personal view, but people stripping naked in the middle of parliament makes other climate change activists look like total nutters.
Voting is underway, check out the ballot papers

I know it most likely wont happen. But I would love to see the "Confirmatory Public Vote" to win.
All failed again
