She is likely going to get beaten real bad on the vote. But that isn't a bad thing, since one outcome of her losing could be her calling a snap election on her leadership and a Brexit revote, hooefully this time the majority of Britons pay attention. Even if Brexit is recited and "Stay" crushed "Leave", the amount of damage already done in 2 plus years is enormous and should lead to serious problems down the road, but not remotely as bad as a Brexit would bring on.

THAT is bad news for the UK.

At least with this vote, there is a chance that the UK will back down from this madness.

Kick out the Cons, have a new referendum and remain in the EU. Fuck up the Cons, the US Con and Putin - great trifecta.

Parliament will be in turmoil and that's not good for the country or Europe.

After the Brexit vote happened and Cameron had to step aside, none of the pro Brexit jerks wanted to step up and take the reins. May stepped forward and has become a sacrificial lamb. She should have held back and let one of the pro Brexit jerks get sent through the meatgrinder, but she didn't.
