I think it's obvious. It keeps bringing governments down until one pursues the policy it wants.

If only there was some way in which the public might indicate its support for the Brexit deal... 🤔 pic.twitter.com/F64drn0NX5

The paragraph below, from this excellent piece by @IanDunt isn't even the most excoriating bit.

Yes. What it comes down to is article 50 extension (or revocation if you like). The options are May's deal, No Deal or a50 extension/revocation. If you're not for A or C then you objectively support B.

In fact that might be the moment at which I'd agree the serious political crisis we're in had turned into a constitutional crisis.

I wouldn't be surprised if May did try to get away with treating is as only about her, letting the Tories keep power despite defeat. But in my view it'd be wrong, and a dangerous, dodgy step away from traditional constitutional norms and towards presidential and party rule.

I don't think a matter of confidence in the Commons can properly be seen or responded to as about confidence only in the PM personally. I think it is and must be responded to as a question of confidence in the government.

You're suggesting I think that if February 1974 were rerun, Harold Wilson should not be appointed PM.

Apologies if so! But I think I'm talking about that. I'm imagining what would happen if May resigns when her deal is voted down.

It does give the incumbent an advantage, if anyone else must prove in advance that they have a majority. That shifts the basic principle away from "HMG carries on only with the confidence of Parliament" to "HMG goes on till the Opposition proves it has the confidence".

I don't agree. Of course No Deal is the default. But if most MPs oppose it they can force a better policy that has a very good chance of success. They must simply, finally, find the courage most of them have mislaid. This approach is neither stupidity nor despair. twitter.com/jamesrbuk/stat…

Immensely sad and rage-inducing. She wants to stay (“my heart is in England”) but for him, the bad atmosphere at work makes it impossible. How did we become this spiteful country? twitter.com/channel4news/s…

Do we have a "caretaker convention"? What do you think it is?

Downing Street refuses to answer when Cabinet will decide what kind of long-term trading relationship to negotiate after 29 March 2019 - whether a free trade deal similar to Canada's or something closer to May's Chequers plan. So it confirms this is now a pretty blind Brexit

That's an approach that's very favourable to incumbent governments who've lost the confidence of the Commons. I wonder how many Labour governments we'd have had in our history if your rule prevailed.

Uncertainty about what others may do is quite a good check on political trickery. I think dodgy politicians like apparently clear written rules that can be gamed.

At the 2015 General Election, the Conservatives were elected on a manifesto promising to keep the UK at the heart of the Single Market.
And now just three or so years later, the Conservatives are content to throw that all away.
For what?
Madness.

Created and pushed through by the Tory politician Lord Cockfield, with the full support of the Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
An exercise in Anglo-Saxon commercial empiricism.
A remarkable achievement, of which the UK and its current governing party should be far more proud. twitter.com/EU_Commission/…
