Could have done with a prolonged Tory leadership contest where they all set out their plans for Europe and used that to get a mandate from the party instead of May become PM by default with no greater policy than "Brexit means Brexit" for nearly 2 years.

The interesting thing is that we have three options where our politics is evolved to handle binary choices. If an MP shared my preference of no brexit over the withdrawal agreement over no deal and was presented with just the option to accept or reject the withdrawal agreement should they approve it...

Doesn't 'voting down a no deal Brexit' mean 'voting for the deal'? :con Well it depends upon the alternatives being presented but yes perxactly.... Usual order of events would be to agree a deal with the EU and then have it ratified by parliament but goodness knows what course this rudderless ship ...

Heard an interview with Nick Boles saying there's at least 40 other conservative MPs who would vote down a no deal brexit. It's not clear to me that no deal gets a vote. Would seem to be what happens if a deal is presented to parliament and doesn't get approved or if no deal is presented to parliame...

I don't drive but my understanding of the solid central white line is that it's deployed when visibility is reduced e.g. due to bendy roads. I suppose i takes less time to overtake a slow moving vehicle so perhaps you don't need to see as far ahead... As for the bike question. It's been a while but ...
