Latest thoughts on Brexit

There shouldn't be another vote on brexit. The vote should never have been run on 1st past the post vote but should have required a 60% majority, that way country would not be split. However Cameron and the Tories ran it that way so that's it. The only way to revote now is a General Election. 
Mayhems deal is looking like it will get voted down. Unless she changes it slightly with a amendment that she'll take it back to the EU for hard assurances on the backstop. That might pacify a few, maybe enough to get it through? 
If it is voted down Labour will probably trigger a vote of no confidence in the Government. That vote will rely on whether the DUP continue to support the Tories. 
Just a thought but what would really throw a spanner in the works would be if Sinn Fein took their seats in parliament for the vote. 
A lot of MPs would go for a GE because the country gets to vote again and it bypasses another vote being called undemocratic.
