Meaning What?

Really, anyone in the tradition of Tony Benn ought to vote in favour of a "meaningful vote". I hope that they will. But this is not really about that. 

This is about holding Theresa May's feet to fire to ensure that she delivers what she herself wants, and what she really promised those who did not vote to bring her down a week ago last night.

That was, and is, a second referendum between two options, remaining in the Single Market and the Customs Union, and remaining in the EU altogether.

If the Government won tonight, then that second referendum, with no Third Way, would be a done deal.

Even if the Government lost tonight, then those who demanded it were just going to keep going until they got it. The Prime Minister really wants it, anyway. And she has no majority without those who are absolutely determined to secure it.

For those of us who do not favour either option, the only solution is a change of Government, with our people holding the balance of power in the next hung Parliament that is inevitable in itself.
