Rosbeefs rejected the agreement on Brexit by 344 votes against 286.
In the wake of this vote, the President of the European Council, Commander Donald Tusk, convened a summit on 10 April.

Now we can get a long extension and either get a better deal, remain in the EU or not get granted a long extension and leave with no deal

- Long extension could means new elections and new referendum, could go at the advantage of EU. But there's still EElections issue to resolve/decide.

- We could get a temporary Hard Brexit, like a poker bluff, few days or weeks ? For this game UK will not be the big fish and already proven how divided it. So EU could also take advantage of this situation too.

- I don't think any kind of "better deal" is possible anymore, the 600000 pages one is now in Mordor in Frodo's ass. Juncker & others are totally pissed off by this mess.

Still for me best solution is to keep UK

All right; interesting theory from Pascal Lamy, former Director General of the WTO and former European Commissioner:

"Anyway, she's burnt,"

- Talking about the agreement:

"The UK has lost its first vote to 230 votes, the second to 150 votes and the third to 60 votes"
"Theresa May may be able to pass the agreement she signed If the fourth vote is in line with the previous ones. I think this is a hypothesis that should not be excluded. "

Exclusive: Trump eager for trade deal with post-Brexit Britain - Bolton to Reuters TV

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House national security adviser John Bolton said on Friday that President Donald Trump is eager for a U.S. trade deal with Britain once it breaks away from the European Union.

“President Trump remains very eager to cut a bilateral trade deal with an independent Britain. It’s what the people voted for in 2016, and when they get out, whether it’s now, April 12 or later, we’ll be standing right there waiting for them,” Bolton said in an interview with Reuters Television.




You go, Britain.

It's just globalist Ghot.

In reality the UK will need trade deals with countries, they have 7 deals right now and getting enough will take a few years in order to make a hard brexit plausible. Countries wanting trade deals with the UK is logical, we live in a global world where the larger economical power is getting the best deals. For the UK that's going to imply that every deal is equal or worse than they've had with the EU and every large economy is willing to capitalize on the situation.

Go UK, make life more expensive for you, and cheaper for the US ^

everyone is eager to strike new trade deals with the brits. your mistake is to assume that somehow makes brexit beneficial for them when in reality every single trade deal suggested (america, china, india...) offers them worse conditions than the ones the EU has with those regions - and understandably so considering they have significantly less leverage and a comparably tiny market after finally leaving the union. it's really economics 101...
