UK - Parliamentary Vote On Brexit Deal Delayed

[r3volution 3.0]

The vote on whether to ratify the Brexit deal, originally scheduled for today, was delayed by the Prime Minister (she didn't have the votes).

Meanwhile, the Continent is extremely unlikely to grant better terms to perfidious Albion.

So, the UK is heading toward a major political crisis, with a "no deal" Brexit at the end of March looking increasingly likely.

...something about getting what you want, good and hard.

The UK will be better off and the EU will be more hurt.

The mad scheme to conquer Europe by stealth is falling apart.

Quit delaying this $#@! and vote on the Brexit deal. They are getting in the way of the will of the people.

May faced and won a no confidence vote yesterday, but not by a comfortable margin; ~120 fellow Tories voted no-confidence.

IIRC, 159 would have sufficed to oust her, whereas she and her allies were hoping for more like 80.

So the result was not catastrophic, but also not good (for her).

What does this mean for Brexit?

Perhaps I'm missing something about the British political system, but, since about a third of the Tories oppose May (presumably because of the deal that she's negotiated [which, whether they know it or not, is the best they're going to get]), and because the Tories don't even have a simple majority in parliament, I can't imagine how she's going to get the votes for the Brexit deal. Are there that many Labor et al MPs willing to cross the aisle? I suspect not (but, then again, maybe I'm missing something about their system - it's all Cockney to me).
