Your Stephen Barclay stood up at dispatch box yesterday and advocated that the house voted for the government......and then promply defied the whip and voted against it himself.Can we ever take him seriously in his future career again? As far as i know,this has never been done by any government cabinet minister ever.Hmm... my gut tells me that the EU will allow an extension for a hefty price, financial, trade / fishing etc., or both... Orban is probably posturing for more cash or some such.
I dislike Orban, he is very close to being a fascist in many ways but, although I wouldn't shake his hand, I'd be very glad if he were to veto an extension.
However, it wouldn't surprise me if the Remainer MPs - a majority, remember - were to vote to revoke Art. 50... they really do seem to have that much contempt for their electors.
Edit: then again, if they won't vote for another referendum, maybe they wouldn't. Probably just water down Brexit as much as possible.
Good to see you back @Pasty.
