Ok, it's quite clear as has been shown over the past 3 years that a majority on MPs in Parliament don't want Brexit.
So now they have voted to take no-deal off the table and commanded the Prime Minister to ask the EU for an extension and to accept any length of extension the EU decrees.
This is not Democracy. The people voted to leave and parliament are voting against their wishes.
Normally, the way to resolve a deadlock between the Majority of MPs and the Government of the day is a vote of no confidence. If the Government loses then normally an election is triggered.
But not in this case.
The wreckers in Parliament voting against Brexit know they will lose their seats in an election. Thanks to the fixed term parliament act, enacted by David Cameron and Nick Clegg, the government have to ask Parliament to agree to an election. Of course the self-serving MPs won't trigger a process that will end up with them losing their jobs.
So there is stalemate.
Does the Prime minister go cap in hand to the EU as directed? Or does he sit on his hands? Does he face MPs with defiance and say "I won't do it and if you want me gone, vote me out = I dare you!"
Or will some situation, some crisis arise that will postpone Parliament and enable Brexit by default? Will Boris Johnson's plane or car fail to start? Will he catch a cold and pull a sickie?
Time will tell.
Any ideas, Sherlock?
