Comment: Brexit has always been a mistake by the Elites overshadowing the incumbent government and most MPs who are largelt eurocratic in their worldviews. Therefore, Brexit was never EVER meant to be a genuine attempt to foster a truly independent, self-regulating country - or even something akin to the kind of sovereignty Scandanavia has. Theresa May has always been tasked with obfuscating, delaying and generally scuppering any hope of a real Brexit. People don't seem to get this still. It's not incompetence - it's purposeful subversion of democracy where voters wrong-footed the elite crowd psychology. But like similar referendums of the past (think the Lisbon Treaty) the vote is simply re-introduced are sufficient propaganda saturation and they get the answer they want.
The same will happen in this case, albeit after a particularly tortuous route.
The British Establishment had no intention of leaving and have spent much of their waking hours making sure that it'll never happen. This includes the Eurocrats who would suffer considerable harm if Britain did exit.
Therefore, much of the various Euro-British meetings and the hysterical overanalysis dispensed by the MSM is pure theatre.
Doubtless many of those who believe in the elitist project of the EU for allsorts of romantic reasons will be happy that Brexit won't happen. But they are probably the same people who believe that a gaggle of muslims brought down the twin towers on 9/11 and gender equality should be taught to pre-school kids.
How can you reason with that?

The political elite’s hysterical hatred of No Deal is a cover for their contempt for Brexit itself.
So there goes Brexit. Voted for by 17,410,742 people, voted down by 313 MPs. Backed by the largest number of British voters ever to back anything, seen off by a gaggle of MPs who hate what we voted for. Make no mistake: this is what last night’s slim win for Yvette Cooper’s amendment means. It means the only remaining policy option that resembles Brexit – leaving the EU without a deal – has been legally obliterated. If the House of Lords now gives the nod to the Cooper legislation – and being a hotbed of Brexitphobic elitism, there’s no reason it wouldn’t – and if the EU agrees to a further extension to the Article 50 process – which it might well do – then Brexit as we knew it is finished.
It can feel difficult sometimes to grasp the gravity of the situation we face: the largest democratic vote in the history of this nation is being betrayed before our very eyes. Ignore the crowing Brexit-blocking MPs who say that the victory of the Cooper idea simply means that a ‘catastrophic’ No Deal Brexit will no longer be an option, and that brave MPs who are so much cleverer than us pig-ignorant plebs have saved Britain from the ‘cliff edge’ of ‘crashing out’, etc etc. These Orwellian euphemisms are simply a disguise for what the political elite’s war on No Deal represents – a war on Brexit. When you hear MPs saying ‘We have to prevent No Deal’, what they really mean is: ‘We have to prevent Brexit.’ And preventing Brexit of course means preventing democracy, disenfranchising millions, overturning 100 years of a democratic contract that defined modern Britain. This is the end of an era.
