Interesting line of reasoning but I got the impression Theresa May
was beginning to show all the zealous enthusiasm of a convert.

Just good acting. Same as her public conversations with
EU bigwigs. They're not mugs and will have read of her
"secret" briefing to Goldman Sachs same as everyone else.

The fact remains that more you look at the process in detail,
and the ramifications for the UK, the worse it becomes.
Simply in terms of unsurmountable complexity, if nothing
else.

May is no mug and so presumably she's quite happy for others
to eventually realise this for themselves. Rather than her needing to
spell it all out, and being seen to criticise the "people's
will".

Quite what any HoC debates are going to be about, is another
matter. All EU sources are adamant, that in accordance with
the Lisbon Treaty there can be no negotiations until after the
UK triggers Article 50. And then all negotiations will be between
the remaining member states. The UK will then be presented with
a proposal which she can either accept or reject. There will
be no room for negotiation of any kind.
If the UK rejects the proposal then she will be allowed to
return home, and will be called back at such time as the
EU eventually gets around to agreeing on another proposal
which can be presented to the UK. Basically from start to
finish its the EU which makes all the running

It's this prospect, presumably with all the humiliating detail
spelled out, which MP's will now be invited to vote on.
With all the nonsense about "Hard" and "Soft" Brexits shown
up for the sham that it is.

Short anyway of the UK reneging on International Treaties
and suffering the inevitable consequences.
