You are right Donkeyman, but the greatest confusion remains.
What will the MP's who are now grouping together actually come up with or even want. None of them can agree with each other, but the main excuse was or seemed to be the 'backstop' If we leave without a deal the 'backstop' issue is sorted initially. But no, not happy, they've found something else to nit pick about.
SNP want to Remain or Leave the UK (so in my book, they don't count)
Greens want to Remain
Change UK want to Remain
Lib Dems want Remain
Labour... ?? not really sure about them, apart from not wanting a No Deal Brexit, but no suggestions have been put forward . It was the 'backstop' initially , now contention has crept into other areas and basically all the negative vibes about everything.. so do they want to Remain also ?
Tories.. split, but couldn't agree on Mrs May's deal.

Just about everything has come up against a brick wall, despite Parliament originally sanctioning the different aspects of the Brexit referendum .

As the EU have said many times, the Withdrawal Agreement in none negotiable.. so what do the other groups who are huddling in corners actually expecting, other than reversing the democratic vote of the people in 2016.

They are the ones who are going against democracy.

Re: Breaking - Boris Shutsdown Parliament ..

Hi

I have two issues with this.

Firstly, everybody knows he is doing it to make sure about Brexit, so why is he lying by saying different?

Secondly, the way hes done it.

It sets a precedent for others.

If Corbyn gets in he could do the same to make sure all his madcap ideas get through without being challenged.

Announcing it so soon is dangerous in my view.

Closing Parliament the week before and having the Queen's Speech on Brexit Day would have been an option, but then what do I know?

I trust Farage far more than I trust Boris.

Very democratic.

How can a gorgeous country like the UK slide down the drain like this?

By pulling the sink plug of a functioning parliament.

If it was up to me I would fire every MP that tried to sabotage Brexit and tear up their passports.

A few hundred hours of community service should be enough to remind the remain MPs who they work for and represent.

Re: Breaking - Boris Shutsdown Parliament ..

From an official in Number 10

"If MPs pass a no confidence vote next week then we won’t resign. We won’t recommend another government, we’ll dissolve parliament, call an election between November 1-5 and there’ll be zero chance of Grieve legislation,” says senior official.

Re: Breaking - Boris Shutsdown Parliament ..

I had to laugh at Corbyn he is complaining that Parliament has been denied an extra 3-4 days to debate how to leave the EU when after 3 years of debating Parliament has been unable to agree on anything.
