And yet you started a poll of doom that had no such option, and dismissed any notion of adding one. How you've changed your tune.
Now you now seem to believe it'll all quietly go away and be forgotten, that's pure fantasy.
I've asked if you have any serious evidence to support your theory, still waiting.
You believe your 230 vote swing fantasy all you want.
I don't even know what that means? What swing? To make any progress a good proportion of that vote has to agree on something other than rejecting May's deal.
In what way was it a 'poll of doom', as you so inelequently put it? It's a facing up to reality, which not a single Leaver on this thread seems able to do. Everyone knows what a political 'swing' is.
May has to overturn a 230 vote defeat in the next 96hrs. You and I know that's utterly impossible. And then another no confidence vote, and then another vote on May's Deal and then another no confidence vote ad nauseum. These votes don't
really matter. People will get
used to it.
Coopers vote does though. Because after A50 is extended once, and the population get used to that, like I said above the EU27 will fall over themselves to keep in extending it, till any juice there was left in the entire process is dried up. Dead. Finished.
They just have to sit back and watch the in fighting from the sidelines. What's the rush? It does no harm to the EU economy to postpone A50 by a year, two years, four. It damages Britain though. And by and by, some colour of government will push the 'kill' switch and no one will remember (or care) what that stupid vote in June 2016 was all about.
Time. The EU has got plenty of it. Right now Britain is haemorrhaging credibility daily
and key industries (Airbus, Dyson to name but two). That's their strategy: procrastination. And not budging one bit from the 'deal'.
May is hogtied, as is parliament. Time. That's all it takes to hobble the entire thing.
