Anyone who hasn't yet realized that this whole screw-up has by now nothing at all to do with the good of the nation (i.e. the people) anymore has clearly been amiss in both following general reporting and this thread in particular.
And would perhaps be best advised not to comment any further.
That this whole affair is not going to the people any more has nothing to do with respecting the will of same (as per the referendum), it's all about the otherwise disparate representatives of the political class juggling for own positions.
And by "going to the people" I mean their having the opportunity to vote yes or no on May's deal, not a rerun of the remain/leave shambles.
Corby won't do it cuz he'd pass up a perfect opportunity for sticking it to both the May camp and its Tory enemies (IOW force elections which he hopes to win), May won't do it because she knows she'd be playing into the hands of her party foes (by copping out), her party enemies won't do it because her deal might win and the DUP stands to lose either which way, causing them to vote down anything that might change their current status quo, precarious as that is already.
All signs point to May's deal not making it thru the Commons anyway, simply because nobody outside her group of loyals can afford to support it.
With the whole bloody lot mindlessly parroting each other over how they're respecting the people's will, whatever that might be by now not something that anyone wants to find out.
Roll on March and let's be done.
