Brexit: Theresa May's deal is voted down in historic Commons defeat

(Not that I expected this to pass, but ye gods, the incompetence of... everything.)

ETA: Nice summary:

Whatever the results, there are now three options - leave the E.U. with no deal (most of parliament doesn’t support this), remain in the E.U. as is (most of parliament doesn’t support this without a mandate from the country), renegotiate a deal (no one believes it’s possible) /8

I'm just hoping it doesn't tank our economy along with it. But something tells me it's going to.
2019 is going to a really hard year.

I hear ya. The government is driving our economy off a cliff and we can just watch and hope that someone stops them before it's too late. :(

LOL! Our governments appear to be in a race to see who can do it first. At this point, it's a toss-up, on who will win.
