She may well abstain on Wednesday, and say something like 'I will need to carry out the will of Parliament without being hampered by my own views' or some other 'avoiding the issue' wording - which she is very good at.

Her options are these:
1. Vote for ruling out No Deal - this would mean requesting an extension to Article 50, which would go against everything she's said since taking the job as PM. It would also mean the process was out of her control as Parliament could vote for a second Referendum - again, something she has strongly ruled out.
2. Vote for a No Deal - this is logical conclusion given all that she has said about delivering on the Referendum result. However, as leader of her party it would split instantly. In order to regain credibility it would have to embrace Brexit wholeheartedly and purge the party of Remainers. Not only would this alienate the 48% but the economic chaos that will ensue with No Deal will lose her a huge chunk of the 52% as well.
3. Abstain - this may appear to be her only option but by abstaining she would be abdicating leadership and direction at a crucial moment. Abstaining is neither one thing or another, and how could she be seen firstly to Remain, then to embrace Brexit, then to abstain on the question of leaving with No Deal. She would embody the UK's complete indecision on the issue and lose what credibility she still has left.
Over to you Theresa...

If China doesn't pick up soon,and Turkey defaults on it's debt repayments to Italy,the whole shebang could be down the toilet by June.Have a look at Volkswagen group's performance for the last quarter if you want an idea of how badly things are going.If all the class actions being taken against them succeed,they are begging Angie for a bail-out.If you don't believe what the boss of the ECB said,where does that leave your love for experts?
So we look to weaken ourselves for these troubled times. Yeah.

Did you not read the article under my quote?Draghi,the boss of the ECB,is the only person keeping the Euro in it's current form afloat,and he's been trying to retire since last year.Perhaps you are blind to the thousands of billion of bad debt owned by the ECB through quantitative easing?Not seen the yellow-vest protests in France,still going on,despite the BBC stopping the reports?Not noticed the massive increase in the populist,anti-EU vote all across the EU.
None so blind as them that will not see.Unaldulterated bollocks,or somebody not looking through blue-tinted glasses,perhaps the stars have interfered with your vision.Perhaps you should query why the EU are happy with mass unemployment,or perhaps you don't care about young Europeans with no future,just so long as you can drive across 27 countries?

Weren't you saying, only recently that soon an EU army will form and invade Greece in a few years, which was a cause for concern? Hardly the actions of something about to go down the toilet in a few months!
It seems that not only do you not know what you voted for, you also don't know why you voted for it..

Why do you feel the need to go from a measured post to an abusive one in such a short space of time.Go and get a breath of fresh air before you get another ban.

So you want us to still have to abide by EU freedom of movement directives and laws and all the subsequent EU regulations and laws that surround freedom of movement.
You want us to remain members of the EU single market and be subject to the decisions of the body that regulates the internal market the ECJ. You want us to to continue our huge payments into the European Union budget and no doubt be subject to the laws and regulations that regulate budgetary administration. Norway is not in the Customs Union but for good measure you say sod that lets be in the Customs Union as well, where we would not be free to seek our own path globally on trade but would instead be subject to the policies of the European Commission whilst at the same time no longer having a commissioner and no longer having a say.
And you call all this removing ourselves from the European Union.
You are a special kind of idiot. I cant imagine what sort of idiots are giving you a thumbs up……actually I can.

The above is actually quite worrying in terms of how little you understand EFTA for a start (you may wish to find out what the EFTA court is and does), but also that you seem to deal exclusively in non-sequiteur. At no point in that did I express an opinion one way or the other on Norway Plus, yet you seem to think I'm arguing for it. Blue Valkyrie earlier posted a link to an excellent thread about how the EFTA relationship with the EU works. Please feel free to do the reading before blathering on any further.

Her speech is straight from the Bob Booker School of Half-Time team talks. How to unlock that tricky EU defence? Shake your fist and shout "Come on, lads!"
