    Just when it appeared that the Remoaners had been hit with a hefty blow last week with little support for another pointless referendum, up pops there fairy godmother in the shape of Chief Remoaner Public Enemy Number One (aka The Speaker).

    Democracy continues to break down, with a Speaker that will forever be known as the most devisive in parliaments history.

    He does seem a bit of a twat but dont think this particular decision is wrong. There has been a vote on the resolution that wasnt carried - you cant just keep voting on it hoping that people will change their mind as deadline nears.
    Its like EU has said - there is no point asking for an extension if there is no change in your position.

    I agree that this was the right decision.

    MPs - if you quit we'll vote for it
    DUP - if you give us more money we'll vote for it.

    How about just deciding if the deal is fit for purpose. If you think yes then vote yes if not then vote ****ing no.

    Bloody MPs/parties have really been shown up for what they are under this debacle.

    He also keeps an anti Brexit window sticker in one of the family cars. True Story.

    Equally, I wonder what my local council would say if I were to quote a 1600's law to justify why I needed to graze my camels on the village green? Or to fire my longbow only on Sunday afternoons in the village square?

    The point is... it must have gotten really desperate for him to pop up quoting such old laws.. that were made up before America was even founded.... and shortly after when Groot was born.

    He maybe just got fed up with May wasting Parliaments time by repeatedly requesting a vote on the same thing instead of setting up an all party committee to thrash out a deal that Parliament could pass and might actually be accepted by the EU.

    It should be clear by now what the stumbling blocks are. If there is no way Parliament can agree on a deal that overcomes them then they should dissolve Parliament and have a new general election.

    The referendum was called by Cameron purely to undermine UKIP, who were taking support away from the tories. He's a ****ing obscene **** <grr>

    I presume you voted to leave. For future reference:

    Parliament's OR parliamentary.

    May has ALL the vultures circling now (remain and leave). I think she is finding just how much they'll cut you up if you refuse to play their games.

    If there was no more recent laws on the subject, they would say you were right. The quote was that the rule could be trace back to 1604, the implication being that it has been followed since then.

    It also makes sense. Parliament is a court (a bit of an obscure fact but true). It is a basic concept that once a court has ruled on a point, it has been decided and can't be debated further

    Or end the session... start again on Monday and have the third vote as it’s a different session.

    Beelin Bercow then can’t do a thing.

    No, in that case the MP's would just reject it again, with the government having wasted yet more time flogging a horse which died in November

    I think you got my general drift, and the fact that you don't really give a **** doesn't surprise me remotely.

    It was last used in 1943. Not that it matters because it is in the rule book and therefore can be used. I'd also hazard a guess it probably hasn't been necessary to use it all that often since 1943.

    I get your general drift, which appears to be that of a whining Remoaner.
    Me not giving a **** as you put it is entirely down to your pedantic quoting of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
