People's Vote, Just £2.99.

I'm typing just as we're waiting for the vote in parliament on Boris's election plan.

 ..here we go;

..Boris loses. Just 299 for.

My feeling is that parliament is now pivoting towards a 2nd referendum. Earlier Jo Swinson stood up in the house and put forth her case for a December 9th election. She batted away any idea of a "People's Vote", stating there were not the numbers in the house for it. I can't imagine they've given up that easily though.

The fact that the Conservatives, SNP and Liberal Democrats are all on an election footing with a clear position on Brexit means that the pressure is well and truly on Labour. I expect that Labour politicians will be forced to choose between an election and a referendum. Given how ill situated they are for an election they'll perhaps go with the latter.
