:stoned So a law from 1604 might decide about how the Brexit thing will end up...

Amusing, you might say.

Quote:
Theresa May has negotiated the withdrawal deal with the EU but it must also be agreed by MPs.

They have voted against it twice, and the government has been considering a third attempt to get it through Parliament.

Mr Bercow cited a convention dating back to 1604 that a defeated motion could not be brought back in the same form during the course of a parliamentary session.

He said the second vote on the prime minister's deal last week was "in order" as it was substantially different to the first, but any further votes must pass the "test" he set out to be allowed.
Thing is: EU would not allow any other deal to be submitted than the one that was negotiated for two years now.

Which leaves two options - no deal (which was just denied by the parliament but legally they wouldn't be bound to it) or a delay (which all 27 EU members would have to agree to - which they only would do if anything substantial was presented by the UK)

Meanwhile Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson are still paid by taxpayers but fucked off from their responsibilties for this mess.

Congrats.
