Daily Mail: PM may allow MPs to vote on SEVEN options - including a second referendum and cancelling Brexit - if her deal fails next week, sparking fury from Leavers who brand plot a 'national humiliation'
* Theresa May left Brussels a day early and has returned to Downing Street to try to get support for her deal
* She has summoned key ministers to No 10 and will head to Chequers this weekend to try to save EU divorce
* Government said to be considering giving MPs a free vote on seven directions Brexit could go if PM loses vote
* Marathon EU summit broke up last night with agreement among EU leaders on the terms of Brexit delay
* There are now two dates: Britain can stay in the European Union until April 12 whether or not the deal passes
* If MPs pass May's Brexit deal next week then Britain can stay in the bloc until May 22 to pass necessary laws
Theresa May was today accused of 'declaring open war' on her own Eurosceptic MPs by promising a free vote on a second referendum or revoking Article 50 if her Brexit deal is killed off next week.
Downing Street will ask MPs from all parties to help find her a Plan B as Tory rebels said their 'isolated' leader should 'name a date' for her resignation after failing to deliver Brexit for March 29.
Mrs May is expected to hold a vote to gauge support among MPs for the seven main paths for Brexit: The PM's deal, No Deal, a second referendum, Labour's preferred customs union deal, a Norway-plus EEA deal, a Canada-plus free trade deal or revoking Article 50 and staying in the EU.
Brexiteers are furious because it would give control to Parliament, where the majority of MPs are remainers who want the softest possible Brexit or no Brexit at all.

WNU Editor: The problem is that the the people who voted for Brexit are not represented by the majority of the members in Parliament. This is also a classic example of a lame duck Prime Minister who is "at war" with the majority of her own party in Parliament. Prime Minister Theresa May is finished, and this third vote is going to resolve nothing .... Britain's had 3 years to do Brexit. Another 3 weeks won't help (Luke McGee, CNN). What we are seeing now are pro-EU politicians laying the groundwork to either revoke Article 50, or to shelve the entire project for the future, which would essentially mean killing Brexit.

What is it with politicians and their pursuit of utopias? Does anybody realise we as a species have a tendency to fall out with each other? This is going to blow a hole in people's faith in their vote.

Yup & Yup.
Sauron gave out 9 rings to men, 7 rings to dwarves and 3 rings to elves. And one ring to bind them all. So easy.
It took a major war, skirmishes and battles to free the world from Sauron.
Point is getting into bed with Sauron was much easier then getting out.
Getting into bed with the EU took a vote. Getting out takes 3 years and counting?
IMO this signals that the EU-crats and EU leaders know that a second vote to join/rejoin will not be as easy as the 1st. That it will be hard to fool them again. Thus the EU fighting like this is a death match.
I wonder how much this whole debacle has cost the taxpayers in the UK..
You know Hans that is a good question and one that likely will never be answered. In addition will it turn out that they really did gain from membership in the market, if not will they gain now by getting out or will it just be an expensive cost both ways?
The whole mess is depressing. The people voted to exit, many years later they still cant decide what to do. It seems that they are going to stay in the EU.
So all of this for nothing.
When they voted to get out and it passed I saw on some interviews where people who voted yes to leave hadn't a clue as to what it meant and in some cases thought that it would lose, but it didn't, in which case they were beginning to hedge on their vote. Bound to be some like that in every issue. It was probably the same when they originally voted to get in.
Personally I believe that for some very serious issues a vote of 50+1 should not be the deciding factor to get in or out of whatever the issue is. Party politics can have a deadly part sometimes and on some issues it shouldn't.
Some who voted no hadn't a clue what it meant either.
