Almost lost unless....

1. Corbyn tries really hard to stop his leavers voting for her (unlikely)
2. She gives DUP a hidden promise of a £3bn bung (almost certain)
3. Bercow says fuck off. (Perhaps, but who knows, might he suddenly get ill?)

1. Not enough of them will vote for the deal to counter DUP/Tory rebels.
2. DUP have said "No".
3. Quite possible, unless the deal is changed (which the EU won't agree to).
Hilarious that Boris has decided that the worst deal ever, which is like a "suicide vest", will leave us as a "vassal state" and which he certainly could never back if the DUP were against it, is suddenly perfectly okay now. Could it be a coincidence that this sudden change of heart has come at the same time as his path to leadership has been re-opened?
But wait, the DUP have now said they won't back it (nor will they abstain). What's a principled person to do? Questions, questions.
What a shower of cunts.

No outright majority for anything, but clearly no appetite for No Deal, Malthouse, or EFTA/EEA.
From @kraft_mk on Twitter:
Tried this.
- Sorted by "Indicative difference."
008 Customs Union 264-272
027 Referendum 268-295
070 Labour Plan - 237-307
095 Common Market 2.0 - 188-283
110 Revoke A50 - 184-294
240 No deal - 160-400
283 Malthouse - 139-422

Or, sorted purely by popularity, Referendum is in the lead.
Who'd have thought it, "Do no harm to the country" is the most popular choice!
And it was outvoted by 27 Labour MPs, deciding they had to hurt their constituents because their constituents asked them to.

It will only take 14 MPs to back it on Monday to give it a majority. The process is working as intended so far.

Yes I'm kind of more hopeful, since the DUP said they won't play. But our Therasa wouldn't be our Theresa if she hadn't said she didn't care how the votes went. Ditto Andrea Leadsom. Is it just me or do you find her scary? I've never been a fan since she said she was going to bring back fox hunting "to improve animal welfare".

Hardly going to be a vote winner with you and me, was it?
She's terrifying, but then they all are. Which swivel-eyed loon do you want as our next PM?

Well Owen Jones is pretending he's terrified of Boris being chosen, which means he thinks he'd crash and burn I suppose. Bit of a risk though.
It's a tough call, they're all scary, but if I was a Tory it would be Geoffrey Cox, who makes the others look like pygmies.

So it looks as if it'll be No Deal or ask Europe for a long delay including EU elections.
The story that Europe won't like us voting in their elections as they'll be stuck with a grumpy Britain is wrong imo. The grown-ups will vote for pro-Europe candidates in their millions so Europe may get the most pro-Europe parliament for years.
