Er, I'm not at all sure (UK constitution being as inscrutable as ever) but I think Johnson may have just screwed over parliament but royally. If I understood the amendment correctly, parliament may have just stuck itself with May's deal. If so, Johnson gets his exit, with deal, and rids his party of a lot of dead weight. Then gets the election he seems to want, with the brexit party sidelined.

The government has said a bill to stop a no-deal Brexit will complete its passage through the Lords on Friday.
The proposed legislation was passed by MPs on Wednesday, inflicting a defeat on Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
There were claims pro-Brexit peers could deliberately hold up the bill so it could not get royal assent before Parliament is prorogued next week.
But the Conservative chief whip in the Lords announced a breakthrough in the early hours after talks with Labour.

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostThe EU referendum of 2016 was not legally binding but the government of the day promised to implement the result. The referendum was a bad idea at the start because the people were already represented by their Members of Parliament. The Cons did it to pacify their evil back benchers. The government failed to deliver Brexit and are now hanging by a thread. A new government might be elected on the promise that Article 50 is revoked, and we stay in the EU!
I doubt the new government will be remainer - at least one commenter (seems to be remainer) thinks Johnson is actually maneuvering for an election. Risky, but it makes sense.
Dunno, I'm just here for the popcorn.

GOP are quite relaxed about all that fascist manoeuvring.
