I imagine it will be some system of transferable votes on Monday, to find a majority with broad support - probably either customs union or second referendum, by the looks of things.
As far as I understand it the referendum idea is merely a confirmatory one. I think that means (could be wrong) that Parliament has to agree on a course of action (ha), receive the relevant agreement from Brussels (ha ha) and then must put it to the people.

Actually agree with Piers for once
a sizeable portion of the population want to remain, and although a sizeable portion also want to leave, they're split into half a dozen warring camps that can't agree on how and under what terms.

we can't leave until we know how and under what terms, and if we can't agree on how and under what terms we are going to leave, then we can't leave. it's incredibly simple.

there's no leading us out of it, there's just ending the nonsense.

563 votes on the referendum option, meaning a lot of MPs had abstained.

Does Bercow have some sort of cheat sheet that helps him remember who is the MP for which random area? I barely know who my own MP is, let alone picking them out of a crowd of 400 identical looking blokes.

BBC News there literally showing 5 old protesters with signs saying how unhappy they'll be with what's happened. Not showing the million that turned up on Saturday that might like it, at least for now.

Pound already at it's lowest in 30 years, markets taking a thrashing, calls for independence referendums in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Whispers that Brussels will look to make an example of us. Just how bad will the shit show get? Or is there light at the end of the tunnel?
Turns out very.

It's his job to know I guess

Wouldn’t be much more shambolic than if Ernst rohms ghost and a load of brown shirts line parliament at the next vote.

Like what the feck is going on, brexit has broken the country. Surely parliament is actually not fit for purpose? Which is a pretty serious deal.

If we were to have a public vote what are the likely options?
Ideally three options - May's Deal, most voted for scenario (provided EU agree) and Remain.

For remain to win it must get 50%+ if May Deal and most voted scenario collectively reached 50%+ then the highest of the two is taken as the chosen option.

Do you pizza for tea?

"No."

Then what do you want?

"Kate Beckinsale"

OK, if I had Kate Beckinsale here would you have her instead?

"......no."

Just go with whichever got the most votes, we never went with what the majority wanted in the referendum.

So an option chosen by 26% could win?

It's fine, give the protestors five years and they'll all be dead from old age anyway.

Surely you'd have a transformative vote. With 1st 2nd and 3rd choice and work it that way

For a group of people who want Brexit they sure don't seem to like any particular form of Brexit.

If it was one of the two pro Leave votes yes. Think of it like a branching path. You're effectively reading the question "Do you want to leave the EU?" But then saying "If you chose Leave, then choose from one of the two options.

Too confusing for big Barry or Clarence McFeckFace to figure out.

Seems a load of shit to me. You can totally see how we've got where we are, becoming powerful because it's full of arseholes desperate to look like they've done something, with no moral compass. Desperate to get one over anyone. Whoever shouts the loudest wins. Not because we've been particularly well run to any great extent, and the only reason we've been a well organised country has been for them to rake it in. I'm sure it's always been this way.

"You and your paper can feck off."
Wait, people are surprised that Labour MPs would vote against it? Where have you been?

This is literally why they haven't gone balls deep for a 'People's Vote'. The numbers for it don't exist and haven't done at any point in the last 3 years.

What about if you want to leave with a customs union, but don't want to take Mays deal no matter what?
