What on earth is TM planning on taking to the EU now when she asks for an extension? Will they even grant her one?

Does she had a plan or is it more of the same?

If the vote was passed ( for May’s deal) then there woukd be a technical extension until 22 May, if lost, until April 12th.
If that is the case ( the latter.....and it will be) then MP’s have to decide on no deal ( no chance) or asking for a longer extension.

Or Revoke Article 50, which they could do unilaterally, or hold a People's Vote.

Back in the 70's I voted against joining the common market. However having been in for close to 50 years we can't just leave and go back to where we were then. Our lives and economies are intricately connected in so many ways and the world is now a different place, so I voted remain. Seems I backed the loser both times!

Never forget that the members are elected to represent their constituants and as most constituancies voted to leave they should fulfil their duties and get the country out on the date enshrined in law - 29th March. Personnel feelings should not be taking over from their duties. They all took an oath on entering Parliament.

John it’s much more complicated than that - there are the three dimensions of country, constituency and party. Additionally we recognise the completely personal dimension when a free vote is allowed on certain issues - especially social ones like abortion or divorce. As for the oath that’s just about allegiance to the Queen so really neither here nor there really
