I would laugh my tits off if boris doesnt offer a GE after all this crap.
Then labour wouldn't be able to winge on for a full two years about it. Peace at last and probably the end of the corbyn and abbot show.
Even with an extension it could still end up no deal.
What is the point.
The eu might even refuse an extension yet.
May's deal will come back and then it's a bit of
Why bother.
Some mps are regretting knocking it back 1st 2nd and 3rd time.
Ahh karma is a bitch.

We are truly blessed to live in an era with such titans of political life. God forbid our future were to be left in the hands of non-entities, lightweights and self interested morons,

Do they have more numbers than the Tories? If so you can hardly blame them for how they arrived at that.

You forget that these "moderates" are wilfully ignoring the official policy of the party which is currently endorsed by the majority of the members.

They had an opportunity before we Brexit to state their case at the Conservative Party conference which is precisely the forum for changing policy. Instead they chose to oppose their own party / government at a time when it was not necessary as crunch time will be mid October.

Yet another example of losers refusing to respect majority wishes. They could have supported the government whilst arguing for a change in policy they didn't so they must pay the price.

I am sure they would be allowed back on that basis.

Argue your case but respect the majority decision by all means continue to argue your case but you have to respect the key policy of your party.

One more point

As well as the wishes of the constituents who voted for them (cue more blather about MPs not being delegates)

I don't know how many times I need to say this but we don't elect delegates we elect representatives.

MPs are not party delegates. They don't have to endorse the line held by the majority of their members. That's the attitude adopted by the Labour party and it's as wrong for them as it is for the Tories and should it ever become accepted it would be the end of Parliamentary democracy as we know it. We might then just as well send voting machines to the House of Commons and leave all the decision making to party conferences.

For the smooth running of Government most MPs will, most of the time, follow the directions given to them by their party, via the whips. The important thing though to realise is that they do so not by law, but by convention. The choice of whether to obey the whip is their's, and their's alone, to make.

At all times their duty is to obey their conscience when deciding what is in the best interests of ALL their constituents, and not just those who voted for them, and the country as a whole. If that sometimes brings them into conflict with official party policy then so be it. I would rather live under a system in which we are governed by people free to express themselves at all times, than risk a situation in which the party machine can be usurped to produce a form of neo-dictatorship.

The party system only exists to allow people with sufficiently similar views to come together to form a government. It does not over-ride the duties and rights of any individual MP.

Parliament's job is to give us what they believe we need and not to give us what we want and, even more importantly, what just some of us want. If they can see that events have moved sufficiently far from the situation that existed in 2016 that a new look is now appropriate, then that's not only their right but also their duty to act. That some don't like it, because it doesn't suit their personal opinion, is a given, but that doesn't mean that they are acting incorrectly.
