Rate the options: How would you vote on the Brexit plans before MPs tonight?

What would you do if you had a seat?

POLITICIANS IN THE UK will vote on four motions in the House of Commons tonight in parliamentary attempts to make a plan for Brexit. 

The results will not be binding – hence the indicative in ‘indicative votes’ – but the aim is that there will be a clear picture of what parliament wants. 

Voting starts at 8pm. 

But what do you make of the various proposals? 

How would you vote if you had a seat in the House of Commons? 

(C) Customs Union

5

Backed by Ken Clarke. The veteran Tory MP’s motion would instruct the government to ensure “that any Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration negotiated with the EU must include, as a minimum, a commitment to negotiate a permanent and comprehensive UK-wide customs union with the EU”.

(D) Common Market 2.0

5

Backed by Nick Boles. The pro-EU Tory wants the UK to join the European Free Trade Association (Efta) and enter the European Economic Area (EEA) and for a deal to allow continued participation in the single market and a “comprehensive customs arrangement” with the EU. There’s quite a bit to this one, in fact – more details here.

(E) Confirmatory Public Vote

5

Backed by Peter Kyle. The Labour MP’s bill would put any Brexit deal passed by parliament to the people before ratification . 

(G) Revoke Article 50 if faced with no-deal Brexit

5

Backed by Joanna Cherry. This motion from the SNP MP says that if there is no deal by 10 April an extension should be sought. If no extension is granted by the EU, it mandates the government to put a vote on no-deal to the House of Commons. If no-deal is rejected, the government would be compelled to revoke Article 50 (which it can do unilaterally).

    Food outlet offerings and coffee shops are probably the only things you can’t get from Amazon, yet.

    @wattsed: Amazon is a rip off nearly always cheaper to buy somewhere else.

    Used to be an amazing Mexican restaurant called Cortinas in that area. Rent went up forcing them out. It would be great if they could be lured back.

    I’ve no doubt that new food quarter will be quality & hopefully some new names to enter the republic . Retail is very fragile @ Moment Dundrum appears to be continuing to lead the market ever since Hammerson took over they have used every inch of empty space & now inside the mall has a full house . There’s a few empty spaces outside but they will taken by new coming restaurant. It will be interesting to see who enters . Also interesting to see who takes urban outfitters & Roleys . Dundrum is a very well runned centre & is a huge success story. And by the way to any be grudges house of Fraser is confirmed to be staying

    In these large shopping plazas, unless your a Giant retailer,the smaller guys have no chance because of the horrendous rents they have to pay.
    It’s pure greed of the owners of these complexes.
    And of course to add to the smaller guys woes, there’s online shopping.
    Goods made in Sweat Shops in third world countries and although these corporations are buying the stock for a Pittance, they Gouge the shoppers in price as if the product is made in Western countries.Prime example Nike.
    Made in sweat shops for bugger all and we have to pay hugely over inflated prices for their product!
