Re: What Next?
The Indicative vote which is to returned to Parliament for discussion tomorrow is a pointless exercise and will perpetuate the problem of Parliament having a majority of remain voting MPs.They will all vote for the nearest thing to the EU, a Customs Union which is practically remaining in the EU.
It's laughable the EU have said they can't open the Withdrawal agreement to remove the backstop yet what's the betting they would do so to accommodate a Customs Union and they said as much as last week.

You can compare it with removing a hand (UK) from a body (EU). If you amputate it, you can tie nerves, tendons, blood vessels, and minimize damage. You can hack the hand off (no deal) causing massive damage.
This analogy shows who benefits from the deal, namely the EU. For the hand it doesn't matter. That cannot function separated from the body, irrespective whether it is amputated or hacked off. The body EU benefits because it gets the possibility to minimize damage, and recuperate. Even if the hand is hacked off, the body can compensate for blood loss (economic damage) because the body can produce new blood, whereas the hand cannot.

Nothing to do with thrashing stick, just misunderstanding international law.
