I doubt it, as this is still the bit with the NI 'backstop''.
-
The Tory MP for St Austell, who previously described May's deal as a 'turd' and said that he could never support it, and subscribed to the "no deal is preferable to a bad deal" mantra, says he will now "reluctantly" support it if a third vote is offered. But the public are not allowed the chance to show if they have changed their minds.
-
So May's "substantial change" to get around the Speaker's ruling on a third vote is to take the Political Declaration out of the document being voted on.
-
But they would first have to agree to such a referendum, and the whole bunch are such self-centred contrary b_a_s_t_a_r_d_s that they cannot be relied on to do anything verging on sensible.
-
With the DUP still opposing it, and consequently a fair few of the ERG as well, I don't think it is viable.
-
All 8 options in the 'indicative votes' have been rejected. Who would have thought it. ( The option for a Peoples Vote got more support from MPs than May's deal managed ).
-
The DUP won't support May's deal, nor abstain, and as a result JRM has said he cannot support it either, so it looks like the third vote won't go ahead. In that case May probably won't be quitting.
-
Yet the slimy buggers, after getting a third bite at that particular cherry and being allowed to change their minds to maintain Tory party unity, will still deny the electorate a second vote.

The system can be overridden by the driver.

From the BBC: ( I highlighted the date, which does seem to sum the whole thing up ) "The petition calling for Article 50 to be revoked - and which has so far attracted 5.8 million signatures - will be debated on 1 April. At the same time, MPs will also debate two other petitions - one calling for a second referendum on EU membership, another calling for the UK to leave the EU regardless of whether a deal has been approved." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-parliaments-47696409

If he wasn't a Cardiff player, why was Colin W***** at his funeral ?

Looks like a very inclusive bunch to me - they have certainly got an above average proportion of blue skinned folk.

"Calls for a public inquiry into Brexit are mounting among diplomats, business figures, peers and MPs, amid claims that the civil service is already planning for a future investigation into how it has been handled." https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/mar/23/calls-grow-for-public-inquiry-into-brexit

Best way of scaring their readers into voting against Labour.

It's got a better chance of getting debated in Parliament than May's deal has of being passed by Parliament.

https://www.itv.com/news/2019-03-21/has-the-prime-minister-cracked-her-chief-whip/ "In the tea rooms and offices of Parliament, the Chief Whip has been openly admitting today that he found last night's statement in Downing Street "appalling."" ""She just won't listen to us," Julian Smith, ( the Government Chief Whip ), told one MP." "All sense that the PM understands the reality in Parliament has been lost."

Well they seem to have tried everybody else apart from Anderson and Broad.

I think the convention was that the PM would ask the Monarch to dissolve Parliament, as technically Parliament sits at the behest of the Sovereign, rather than the Monarch acting independently. ( The Monarch rules at the request of Parliament, which has been the situation since at least the English Civil War ). The Fixed Term Parliaments Act set legislative time limits on the lifetime of Parliaments, so unless the HOC, ( not the PM ), agrees to an "early bath", the end date is automatically set.

Constitutionally the Queen can't interfere, and in public she can't hold political opinions.

Agrochemicals, which has flavoured his view of the EU due to differences of opinion between his company and them over environmental impacts and licencing. ( John, if I am not actually on 'ignore', feel free to correct this if it is inaccurate ).

From Buzzfeed's twitter, and quoted on the BBC; "UK PM May presented her views to EU27 leaders at #EUCO. I am told she was “evasive” and “tightlipped”. The prime minister was repeatedly asked by several leaders what she would do if MPs vote the deal down. May didn’t answer the question."

You really don't know ?
