Parliamentary procedure is so incomprehensible that I have no idea what’s going on...granted, things don’t work well in our system, but it’s a l title more clear cut.

500 years of rules, and tradition with no clear idea where a lot of it came from.

For all purposes, Brexit may have been done already if it wasn’t for some goofy thing that allows some peer to invoke a rule created in like 1670, originally meant to stop all business so that all of parliament can gather outdoors to smoke clay pipes and lawn bowl... to be used in 2019 to somehow delay leaving the EU.
