With Labour Party policy currently set to oppose any likely deal, or no deal, that the government makes with the European Union, things seem set for an interesting few weeks.
Should Labour vote against whatever the government comes up with, the fate of the government will rest with the Conservatives who have already said they will not vote for the 'Chequers' Deal' and those who are implacably opposed to even the notion of no deal..
Either way, it seems that the government will be in trouble. If whatever is proposed is voted down, what will then happen ? Mrs May can hardly go back to the EU with a begging bowl, and she has already ruled out any thought of extending the March 29th deadline for leaving. Her only remaining option seems to be to make Brexit a matter of confidence.
It hardly seems likely that Conservative MPs would then vote against the government as this would almost certainly trigger a general election which Labour could well win. So Mrs May, and the country,would end up with whatever she agrees with the EU, however poor that is.
'Brexit in Name Only' is surely an odds-on favourite.
