Trying to make sense of last night's Brexit vote? Sky's lewis_goodall says a general election could be more likely after MPs rejected everything on a menu of choices 🇪🇺📑
So this does suggest, therefore, there are potentially ways out of this. Theoretically the prime minister could add a customs union to her deal.But in the process she would tear the Tories apart, something she is manifestly unwilling to do.Given most of the Conservative Party is now swinging behind the prime minister's deal, it is possible that if she whipped Tory MPs towards that her deal would pass.
Therefore, given the numbers do not exist in this parliament for her deal, or any deal, the only alternative must be to get a new parliament.
