Brexit: What Now?

ConclusionOver the coming weeks, Parliament will likely host lots of indicative votes on all these options. The government has to bring forward a revised motion and try again. But so far the Prime Minister appears unwilling to change much of substance, and it ’s not clear where she turns.Crucial now will be the sequencing of votes by MPs for alternatives. If it gets to a stage where it ’s the prospect of no deal against the last perceived line of defense against that happening, then Remainers and soft Brexiteers could unite. For now though, they are hopelessly divided too. Absent further constitutional vandalism endorsed by the Speaker of the House of Commons (a strong possibili ty), I still believe a no deal Brexit is highly possible, despite media claims to the contrary.
