But, but the abstainers said that voting for the people vote would cause the Benn amendment to be kicked out and fail.

Oh.
I mean there's other reasons for why they abstained as mentioned in the edited second part of my post.
I don't agree with labour's stance at the moment but I get what they tried to do in that they sat on the fence for it as to not anger people when it isn't going to pass anyway.
Like I'm not sure breaking Labour up even more is the answer at the moment because it strengthens the Tories more.
It might cause some people to change their votes because they realise that it can actually succeed.
I'm sure quite a few MPs probably didn't want to lose rep over a vote that isn't going to pass anyway.
That was the amendment to the amendment, they're voting on the Benn amendment now.
That wasn't Benn's amendment, that was an amendment to the amendment.
At this point I'm not sure it would matter if the UK put the next person to eat a Quarter Pounder in charge.
If the Powell amendment passed the Benn amendment would be sure to pass.
I think there were Tory backbenchers who didn't like the Powell amendment which is why it wasn't in the Benn amendment.
Still unsure if the Benn amendment will pass though
Can anyone explain the Benn ammendment, or how it helps whom? I'm getting confused by the jargon.
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.
Gives Parliament itself the authority to set the business of the house - rather than the Government.
Resulting in a series of indicative vote next week on the next course of action.
I think.
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.
18 Labour MP's voted against the second referendum amendment, this is the problem Corbyn and the rest of the Labour party has.
When you look at the people in TIG, it isn't really that surprising.
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.
Yeah just clocked that it was an amendment to the amendment, I'm sure you can see why I might be confused!
Still a chance for the indicative votes if Mays deal fails again next week.
That's if you trust the Government
