In an entirely predictable state of affairs, Brexit has been thrown into chaos; in the house of commons at least.
Everyone else in the country, leavers and remainers alike have no such turmoil in their brain. The country voted to leave the EU so lets get on with it.
The turmoil in the HoC has been caused by MPs first voting against Theresa may's "deal" one day, and then voting against a no-deal exit t6he very next day.
So the only option they appear to want is to stay in the EU. In direct conflict with the people. Never before have our elected representatives gone against such a clear mandate before.
Even then, the House of Lords has been the voice of reason and steered the HoC back towards the will of the people.
However, the House of Lords is also stacked in favour of remaining, so we cannot rely on the Lords to nudge the government in the direction of democracy.
So, we are at an impasse.
The vote to reject no-deal is not binding thankfully, but it should be noted by the constituents of Leave voting areas if their MPs voted effectively to stay in the EU that they voted against the will of their constituents.
