So, the May deal was defeated by an overwhelming margin again, Corbyn demanded a general election rather than a second referendum again, and there was much handwringing all around again. We’ve all seen that movie before.
What happens next? The Commons will reject no deal; the vote will not be close. Then there will be a vote for further delay, but no general election, and no referendum. May will interpret that to mean she should engage in more pantomime negotiations and then bring her plan back for one last vote. Will the EU agree to that kind of scenario? I doubt it. I don’t think any meaningful extension will be granted in the absence of a realistic plan for the future.
