Brexit deal vote ruled out by Speaker John Bercow - BBC News

The Commons Speaker has refused a government request to hold a vote on its Brexit deal.
John Bercow said a motion on the deal had already been brought before MPs on Saturday, and it would be "repetitive and disorderly" to debate it again.

@Grief Cant tell if you are a troll or not lol, gonna assume you are..

[@matthaeusrex5627]

@Grief have you found the solution to the question yet?

[@qinby1182]

@Trio Lia The short answer is... If they vote for this deal more legislation is needed to implement it. This legislation has to come from the government. The government can drag this process out until after October 31st. This would mean voting for the deal will in practicality be voting for a hard Brexit. That is the problem. So before voting for this the Benn act (or something else) has to be amended. to insure this does not happen, or that the extension is in place. Depending when the extension proposal comes from the EU this could still be a problem, Boris can stall a vote on this for 2 days but then parlament does not work all the time either.

I agree. I thought he was stating that there are no remarkable differences in topics or other between Sat. session & debate from Monday's session but I needed to hear this 2x+. He also gave 2 historic precedents [?] and an amendment to back his decision but also informed/directed his decision. Bercow is NOT blocking anything. He is just doing what his portfolio demands of him. Was he a Constitutional Solicitor/Barrister?? In this way he is behaving more of an adjudicator. So, if he is being accused of blocking its only because the Brexiteer faction & Boris Johnson, did NOT get the decision they wanted from him. Did I even get close to understanding this??

[@oblomovtheunknown]

It should be noted that the speaker is absolutely right. You cannot repeat the same motion, in legal terms it would be termed frivolous or wasting a court's time. I would also point out that the referendum itself was unconstitutional in that it has been misinterpreted as conferring a mandate. It has been seen as an instruction, it has been interpreted as a "people's vote" - it was none of those. A referendum is advisory. Parliament not the mob is supreme. a referendum should not be used as vote of confidence (Cameron did), nor seen as a mandate (May), as a people's vote (Farage). It should be conducted with a higher level of factual content than a tabloid - in other words those in taking sides in a referendum must provide facts not lies to the referendum voters. If the preponderance of lies is greater than facts - it should be voided. Foreign intervention of any sort should result in new referendum.

[@Wienerblutable]

GEJ it’s not about the vote (it was never voted on in it) it was the amendment that the treaty has to put into law before they vote on it, that was voted on on Saturday and they wanted to redo this amendment today. So the letter to the EU has nothing to do with it, because it doesn’t change this amendment. He should not have allowed the withdrawal a second time (he did cause of the importance and promises to the the withdrawal, knowing better), but he stopped it the 3rd time so they had at least change the political declaration, to bring it once again. Actually u can’t redo this because a amendment made in the same sitting has to be respected and not redone. Except there are new circumstances to reconsider it since 1604.

As somebody from the Netherlands, I strongly disagree. The UK deliberately waited until the 11th hour to negotiate a deal. The earlier deal was voted down three times. Now is the time to make clear whether British Parliament can actually make up its mind. Four options: 1. If the deal can get through parliament, the EU will not stand in the way of Brexit. Then maybe it can be done by the 31st of October. 2. If the brexit law is amended, which would require renegotiations, anything is possible. Closer alignment with the EU will certainly be welcomed, but anything contrary to the EU's interests will be much more difficult. This could lead to either an extension or to 'no deal'. 3. If Parliament decides to have a second referendum, the EU will probably grant an extension for that. 4. If no decision can be made (no deal, no referendum), then an extension will be quite difficult, and 'no deal' becomes much more likely. I still hope that a deal will be accepted. I think remain is unlikely, and it would deepen the political crisis in the UK even further. No deal would be catastrophic for both UK and EU, and certainly for future relations between the two.

@Martin Baldwin-Edwards There is nothing wrong with chicken that is rinsed in a mild chlorine solution. Its a tiny fraction the concentration of chlorine in the water in a swimming pool, and its not going to do ANYTHING to you. If you ate a million such chickens, you might get some toxic effect from the chlorine, but you would have died of obesity related problems long before the chlorine got to you.

Understanding that the Speaker’s ruling is based on a point of procedure, I still think that given the rapidly approaching deadline, some procedures could be suspended. This move smacks of political maneuver, aimed at delaying proceedings long enough to necessitate an extension. We see maneuvering like this here in our own Congress, and it’s at very least, destructive.

[@stephenmason9527]

It's all the funnier that the times he has suspended procedure *just happened* to give a huge boost to anti-Brexit group, and all the times he has chosen to uphold standing procedures have *just happened* to favor anti-Brexit positions as well. It's all just a coincidence, you see. LOL
