Only consider question 1 if Remain doesn’t have 50% in question 2? How convoluted...
Indeed. Which is kinda the point I was making with that rhetoric.
EU elections will definitely take place on 23rd and 26th May.
If there's any delay from the UK meaning they are still in the EU on 23rd May they have to hold EU elections as well whenever the UK hold the GE. Not convinced a GE will be sufficient grounds.
Does anyone have a spreadsheet to how MPs voted in the indicative votes
Don't know about a spreadsheet but on some show I was watching on BBC yesterday, they said on their website you can enter the name of your MP or constituency and see how they voted.
Such a weird position for British MEPs to be put into.
What I want to know, is if you combine the "2nd referendum" option with the "customs union" option, does that have a majority?
Taking the rules that :-
anyone that voted for the 2nd referendum, but against the customs union, they would still vote for the 2nd referendum & customs union idea...
and anyone that abstained on the 2nd referendum vote, but voted for the customs union, they would still vote for the 2nd referendum & customs union idea...
but anyone that voted against the 2nd referendum, but voted for the customs union, they would still vote against the 2nd referendum & customs union idea...
Does that have a majority?
Alternatively, does Theresa Mays deal have a majority now if you combine the votes she got today with the rest of the ERG and the DUP?
The funny thing is, there are some people that would vote :-
Yes to the Theresa Mays deal
Yes to the Customs Union idea
Yes to the 2nd referendum.
I.e. Amber Rudd and Philip Hammond

On the link you can see who voted for what and who abstained, I'll let you work that outWhat I want to know, is if you combine the "2nd referendum" option with the "customs union" option, does that have a majority?

The other confusion is that some of the UK seats were to be shared out amongst the remaining 27 and some were to be got rid of so there were less overall MEPs
Something just dawned on me. "Brexit means Brexit", "We already voted once" "Will of the people" etc etc.
Yet May is here having repeated votes on the exact same thing. Can't she see the hypocrisy?

I reckon there was a deadline looming on this and they assumed we would be out of the EU and it could have no effect on proceedings. They probably thought it was going to be a two fingers up “haha we cheated and won”.
That’s just dawned on you?
Yes I'm ashamed to sayThat’s just dawned on you?
It was a bit of a light bulb moment for me. Has no one pointed this out to her?
They have plenty of times in parliament.Yes I'm ashamed to say

The reply was “what I’ve been very clear about.... {absolute guff}”
He feels so strongly about the Union that he's even willing to reject a Brexit that threatens the Union? You know things are bad when the DUP are resorting to common sense.
Absolutely disgraceful. The result should be null and void. Someone with some power should raise this and hold people to account. They should not be allowed to get away with this, especially the MPs that were with them.
That's assuming she's allowed by the speaker.
They talk up constitutional crisis when it doesn't go their way but bringing the same motion before the house 4 times is going to set some very bad precedents

Ironically if this useless Customs Union motion were adopted it would have to be included in the political declaration accompanied by the WA that everybody keeps rejecting.
Tune in on Monday for another waste of time.
It's passed on! Her deal is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! This is a late deal! 'It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! It's run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-DEAL!!

If you support the SNP maybe but sensible. That is a new one.
Is she referring to the apocalypse
Eh.. Revoke A50 and then have a second referendum. That makes no sense.
Why are all these people so fecking weird looking?! *bangs head*
It does if the EU won't delay Brexit any further. It'd either be revoke or no deal.
He seems to have solved the Irish border problem as there's no mention of Northern Ireland.
You would have thought if you were writing a stupid placard you'd at least get your facts and spelling right . Brexiter through and through.
Oh come on. Family is way more important than politics.
You can have no influence on Brexit but you can with your family. Agree to disagree then kiss and make-up.
British equivalent of the American deplorables.
Why is Parliament struggling to sort this?
35million people took 2 seconds, in a binary vote, to get us here.
Anyone would think this was too complex an issue, to put before an uninformed electorate, in a referendum.
At least our MPs are representative.
fecking idiots voted for by fecking idiots.

Why wouldn't the EU delay Brexit any further. You heard Tusk and the others. It would be a massive victory for them. The longer the delay the more likely we are to remain because they know that people are getting totally sick and fed up of the ongoing problems.
It's this nutter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Horan
And there in lies the problem.
People took 2 seconds to vote. Something as monumentous as deciding to leave the EU decided by many with little or no thought process.
And this following David Cameron calling for a referendum with little or no thought process or planning.
And we wonder why we are in this shambolic mess.
You see. Christians were right all along.
Nigel Farage is the second coming (hope I spelt that right).
Praise be the Lord. He has sent his second son to save us from the evil EU....Hallelujah.
