Queen Titania
Senator
I am still smiling --- thank God for Boris.
OK so today, Saturday, the House sat to discuss the 'new deal' that Boris has negotiated with Brussels and then vote on it. The House has only ever sat on a Saturday before in times of war. Serious sh'it!
Our political set up is different to yours in many ways including that the executive comes out of the legislature. The Speaker of the House is very powerful and is, by convention, supposed to be neutral. The Order paper - order of discussion in the House - is the Gov's prerogative by convention.
Because there cannot be a 'hard border' on the only land border between the UK and the EU ( Good Friday Agreement) in Ireland May's deal had trapped the whole of the UK under EU laws until the EU decided we could go. Her deal was voted down by Parliament twice. May left No 10 and Boris stepped in. The EU had said they would not negotiate further. Boris said 'OK then we shall leave under WTO on the 31st Oct 2019' - exit day by Art 50. The EU opened up the negotiations again. Meanwhile back in Parliament the Speaker gave the Order Paper to the opposition who drafted and passed a law ( in 1 day!) forcing Boris to beg the EU for an extension if a new deal had not been found and approved by the EU and Parliament by 19th Oct 2019. An agreement between Gov and the EU was found - it isn't perfect, by any means, but it is a beginning to a Brexit end with no hard border in Ireland - It is over 60 pages long so i shan't bore you with it.
The new deal was put before the house today --- BUT yesterday an amendment to the deal, drafted by Oliver 'poll tax' Letwin ( spit spit) was allowed by the Speaker --- the amendment demands that Boris beg for an extension even if the Bill/deal is approved by Parliament. Parliament decided on the amendment first and being a Remoaner Parliament voted for it --- making the vote on Boris's deal void.
The Gov after a courteous few words from Boris, just got up and walked out saying 'leave them too it' - loooooooooool Bercow's ( Speaker) face was a picture - he was flummoxed! The Leader of the House ( Mogg) said, in a short point of order, that the Gov would bring this back to the House on Monday ( well a part of it ) - and soon after that he also walked out. Bercow was dumbfounded! looooooooooool For the next 1 1/2 hours the Remoaner's whined --- until a very very learned MP stood up and said that 'it used to be perfectly normal that the Gov set out the next days discussion the day before'. Bercow was put in is place --- he is a bully who as trampled all over our constitution and Parliamentary conventions and think's he is god!
Remoaners and Bercow have been going back and forth to Brussels begging them not to deal with Boris.
This is the best game of Chess ever played out in Parliament - Boris's move
