Let's hope so.
If it's the case that Parliament say no, then they bring No Deal on themselves.
It will depend on it being acceptable to those who objected to May's deal?

Now the liberals want to table a motion saying must have a referendum to approve deal? A motion Which of course will be approved by bercow ! It Shows there's a good chance deal could pass parliament! And of course remain will be on ballot paper if it passes.....
Like I said previously.. I don't think any referendum will help, say that as Remainer.
Get the deal through or leave with no deal. That's what SHOULD be done. A shame this Parliament doesn't believe in demeocracy.
agree we've gone through the process like him or not he appears to have got a deal, MPs should pass it or accept a no deal cannot simply keep refusing because they dont like brexit thats not democracy thats dictatorship?
I agree. I'm a remainer but accept that we lost. Sadly it seems many of the MPs in parliament that lost won't accept that fact.
I really hope the government and the EU sort out the VAT tonight so we can get the deal through. According to Peston, the VAT is the issue and the deadline is 8am.
I just hope we can get it through and then focus on domestic issues.
But I don't trust this Parliament to follow it through. I pray that they approve the PM's deal.
Then we can have a General Election - which the PM will win comfortably if Corbyn is Leader of the Labour Party.

Yes he will win that's why Corbyn wont have an election as he knows he's basically unelectable with his stance on certain things and cosey chats with undesirables that's why no one supports him as a temporary PM if they were to have a no confidence vote....

Still opportunity for a deal by tomorrow's summit, but it would only be a re-hash of May's deal.
So, in your opinion, where should Parliament go from here?
If dup/irish can accept it so should parliament but as we know MPs have their own agenda and suspect it may fail on that basis, but personally we should accept it.
Well I voted remain. But I do think the democratic vote needs to be followed through.
First, a second referendum is more likely but very very controversial.
I'm a Labour voter, despite not being a Corbyn fan, but it worries me very much that a referendum would be in our Manifesto.
Is the deal on the table really Brexit for the 52%? I'm not sure.
If there's an election, I can see no deal happening anyway. Labour would win it if someone like Keir Starmer, who is a great MP and former DPP, was Leader. But we have no chance with Corbyn. The current PM would win a majority in any Election at this point.
So I think that No Deal is likely.
Sven Corbyn stated he will ask for referendum with remain as one question and a deal mutually good for EU and us as other? That will worry anyone as it will mean close contact with customs union that's for sure..
Agree with you.
But as I said, he has no chance of winning an election. He will do worse than Miliband four years ago. He reached his peak in 2017, and is not capable of bringing in the votes.
Like I said in my above post, things may have been different if Starmer was Leader.
Yes, agree with both; Corbyn is a spent force, and his options do not include following the real democratic decision of the people. I would also back Sir Keir Starmer; at least he seems to have some decency about him
Kier Starmer has one priority. To reverse Brexit. No decency on that knob.
Often agree with you but not on this.
Keir is another one I have met and he's a great bloke. He wants to see the result go through, despite him believing Remain was the way to go and the fact he'd vote Remain in any 2nd ref (as would I).
The state of parliament would be different if KS was Leader of the Opposition. I think Brexit would be done by now.
If nothing else, you must agree he's the best Labour MP out there and an improvement on Corbyn?

Also would agree on the Scottish courts - and all courts for that matter.
My opinion is that no judges should give their judgment on the matter on Brexit. I'll say it again, I say that again that I'm a remainer so it may seem odd. But I still believe that all the Scottish, English and Supreme Court had no business getting involved in this matter.
If a majority voted for the Conservative Party, they go into government. The same should apply for the vote in 2016.

Forever Blue wrote:'Knife-edge' vote for referendum on deal
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith says Labour has indicated that "it's possible" the party could support a referendum on Boris Johnson's deal.
He says it "significantly strengthens" the chances of a motion for a confirmatory referendum being passed if the party whips its MPs to support it.
But he says the backing of former Tory MPs who rebelled from the party over Brext will be crucial. It looks like a "knife-edge vote", he says.

Yeah, troubles me as a Labour voter that out leader that the leader is incapable of removing the current government.
I actually think that Johnson would win a landside right now. It seems that the Leader of the Opposition has very little policy on the biggest issue of today. He doesn't even know if he's leave or remain!
It's a mess and I repeat my point that the leadership of my party, the Labour Party, needs one man in particular. A man who is educated both legally and politically - Sir Keir Starmer.

That's exactly how I feel Jock. I am still convinced we will not leave the EU as our MP's will always look after themselves before their constituents. If they were offered a nice little backhander to leave, we would be out like a shot. Unfortunately, too many of them have their paws in the EU pie dish, as well as relatives running businesses receiving EU grants. The only way we could leave is on EU terms, and MP's personally benefiting from it. Neither will happen, and I doubt very much if Brexit ever will either.

By definition parliament never has a mandate,only the political parties that make up a parliament do via manifesto promises and we all know none of them stick to them.

Very true what this sorry saga as shown is few politicians are trust worthy ! If this doesn't get passed how is another deal going to pass? Every MP and his dog have their own agenda so wont agree to any deal unless it favours themselves? And if give this deal to the people to vote on great idea but what if they say no?
and the remainers will want remain on ballot paper which means it's a new referendum without going through parliament is that democratic considering all the crap gone on about parliament having the right to decide?
