Oh.

I mean there's other reasons for why they abstained as mentioned in the edited second part of my post.That's not a reason to abstain. That's the opposite of a reason to abstain.
I can understand why the campaign didn't want the vote to happen today. I can understand why it wasn't the best opportunity to bring this issue forwards (even if I believe it was absolutely right to bring this issue forwards today).
But 'it won't win anyway' isn't a reason to abstain from voting for something you support. Not if the vote is going ahead anyway.
It might cause some people to change their votes because they realise that it can actually succeed.
At this point I'm not sure it would matter if the UK put the next person to eat a Quarter Pounder in charge.At this point I'm not sure it matters which leader is pro-remain/leave.

Basically this means next week the parliament will be able to take up time to vote on some potential alternative brexit deals, like the norway+ etc.Can anyone explain the Benn ammendment, or how it helps whom? I'm getting confused by the jargon.

Why are the BBC just asking random people what they think of Brexit.
It's a problem for all of us... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯18 Labour MP's voted against the second referendum amendment, this is the problem Corbyn and the rest of the Labour party has.
It's incredible how TIG have managed to make themselves look as awful and conceited as the other parties in just a matter of weeks.
Same. With MV3 being 10 days before the deadline I'm constantly disgusted at how this whole thing has been managed, from start to.. well, wherever the fuck we are now.I feel like I'm getting a stress ulcer. I can't take much more of this shit.
No one knowsDoes that mean if May's deal loses again next week, it's shit hits the fan time and you get something wild like major extension, people's vote, revoke article 50 or crazy town no deal?
