The UK government has rejected the petition! Full steam ahead (sorta).

Always going to be the case. No government listens to a bunch of plonkers signing an online petition although my Twitter feed was filled with pro-EU twits seriously thinking that is how one should run a country. Seriously deranged lot (they have #FBPE in their Twitter handle. Follow Back Pro Europe).

The "indicative votes" is going to be a complete **** show tomorrow. Going to have a good laugh at spineless MPs trying to avoid making any sort of decision.
 
Where’s our Australian friend?

@Chris_the_Brit , your man crush has suddenly changed his mind, Rees-Mong is apparently now ready to vote for May’s deal.

Lots of angry Brexiteers are rather upset at him :laugh:.

The chat yesterday was that Boris was ready to back the deal as long as May agreed to step down on the 12th April then he’d be in as PM.

Spineless self serving Tories selling their country for personal glory. Is anyone surprised?
 
and people here, on both sides, disagree with me that every single MP is anti-brexit and pro-EU in reality ...

Called it from the start, May, Boris, Rees-Mogg, Corbyn, every last one of them.

Only three more days of faffing about remaining to make hard brexit happen though, come on UK MPs, you can do it! We know you have more than enough incompetence to make that happen despite holding an entirely immaterial vote against it.

Just faff about for three more days, pretty please ;)

They'll extend the timeline. This is just playing chicken seeing who will turn away first. If the UK doesn't due to incompetence, or what ever reason the EU will.

I'm starting to think this is a tactic to get people to panic and just sign the bad deal.

Indeed, but if the EU blinks the UK might have to come to terms with the fact that hard brexit is actually real leverage and must be supported to the point where the EU believes that's what the UK wants and will follow through on. So the exact opposite of voting to take it off the table.

Most definitely, here's hoping it backfires and accidentally makes hard brexit happen.

Well very disappointed obviously and he shouldn't be rewarding her but there still don't seem to be the votes for her deal as there some Brexiteers who will never vote for her deal under any circumstances (Bill Cash, Redwood etc). I mean I understand his predicament but I think he's got it wrong although it's tough bind. The only party impressing me at the moment is the DUP which most of the English press don't seem to understand thinking simply bribing them can them to vote for her deal.
 
Just an indication of the chaos that will result from these indicative votes - surprise, surprise...Remainers are more divided than might be conveyed in the media where all Remainer MPs are assumed to either want to revoke A50 or advocate for another referendum. In actual fact, there is a spectrum of opinions amongst Remainers. Although again I remind all here that all these votes are not legally binding and is a bit of clowning around.

erm...

5 mil only?

A referendum - a vote in which everyone (or nearly everyone) of voting age can take part - was held on Thursday 23 June, 2016, to decide whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union. Leave won by 51.9% to 48.1%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting

Just over 15 million voted to leave :o
