Parliament looks set to deliver Theresa May an humiliating defeat in today's vote in the House of Commons on her dogs dinner "EU Withdrawal Act" at around 6pm. Theresa May requires 320 MP's to vote for her deal to get it through the House of Commons, with the mainstream media consensus pointing towards Theresa May only being able to secure support from between 190 to 200 MP's.

However, don't be under any illusion that May's deal is anything other than complete GARBAGE, which gives the EU £39 billion for NOTHING In return! And then there is the 'backstop' or more accurately the 'backstab', a means to ensure that the UK can NEVER LEAVE the EU without the EU's permission! And where Northern Ireland is concerned it's simple, the EU gives the NI £380mln per year, whilst the UK government gives Northern Ireland a £11 billion block grant per year, so it does not take a genius to figure out on which side the bread is buttered!

Firstly, the following video charts how we got here from the triggering of Article 50 to the present crisis state, a trend trajectory that has put Britain literally on the path towards civil war!

What Happens After the Vote?

My long standing view is that Theresa May's days are numbered, so she should do the right thing which is to resign as she clearly has no control over her party let alone Parliament.

Meanwhile the media is reporting on a coup under away amongst the bulk of cross party REMAINER MP's attempting to take power away from Theresa May's government with the aim of subverting BrExit, the primary mechanism through which would be a so called "Peoples Vote", despite the fact that the EU referendum was a people's vote! With the people voting AGAINST Britains political establishment. Other mechanism is to re-write the EU withdrawal agreement to basically result in a "NO BrExit" Brexit outcome.

The bottom line is that the 80% REMAIN Parliament has done everything it can to PREVENT BREXIT FROM HAPPENING and thus a 2nd Referendum is highly probable which Britain's REMAIN establishment will ensure that REMAIN would WIN a second EU referendum by the way the referendum questions would be worded as illustrated by the Financial Times (FT) latest video titled "BrExit: how to hold a second referendum" :

And so their first objective will be to Kick the Brexit date down the road, until AFTER the 2nd Referendum is held.

Whilst my consistent view remains since Article 50 was triggered in March 2017 that Britain was on a trend trajectory to LEAVE the EU without an Exit Deal.
