But it is the government’s lack of a majority, not the antics of the Speaker, that is blocking the Brexit deal
THE INTERVENTION on March 18th by the Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, could almost have been scripted to make the Brexit process even more tortuous. Without warning the government, Mr Bercow ruled that Downing Street could not put Theresa May’s Brexit deal, which has already twice been rejected by large majorities, to a third vote unless it was changed in substance.
Mrs May could try to use the Bercow ruling to justify renegotiating the Brexit deal, telling EU leaders that unless they agree to alter it she will be unable to put it before Parliament again. But the EU would surely say no. It has made clear that the withdrawal agreement, including the Irish backstop which hardline Brexiteers regard as a trap to keep Britain in a customs union, cannot be renegotiated.
