All this dicking around is so pointless. They're voting on so many things they have no control over to begin with. They're in denial. They have three options within the realm of physical possibility, as far as I can tell. 1) No deal Brexit, which has been resoundingly defeated in parliament but is the default in reality if they keep goofing off with "indicative votes", 2) May's Deal, which has also been repeatedly crushed in parliament at historic levels and May should just fuck off with that nonsense because it's insulting to everyone's intelligence to suggest it's anything but a rotting corpse at this point, and 3) a long extension to do either a general election where the campaign is all about Brexit, or a second referendum with No Deal, May's Deal, and Remain as the options.

With as much as they clearly hate 2, they might as well pretend it doesn't exist. If they're not going to have the balls to commit to 3, they need to suck it up and prepare for 1. If 3 means they all get unelected and replaced with a whole new parliament, it would serve them right with how they've handled this. But if they're not going to do 3, then they don't really have time to do anything meaningful before the 12th so they might as well just revoke whatever that nonsense was before about banning a no deal Brexit and just commit to no deal. It hurts my brain to watch an entire legislative body repeatedly deny imminent reality like this.
