Have to say as an ignorant American watcher, the House of Commons is extremely entertaining. Our government proceedings are generally like watching paint dry; even the most dramatic thing I can think of recently (McCain's thumbs down of the GOP medical "reform") didn't really cause a fuss. Normally someone can strip nude and light themselves on fire and the other Congressmen don't pay them any attention; they make speeches to nobody but the camera.
Love Speaker Bercow
Trust me, the routine gets really fucking tiresome when you see old men who are supposed to be helping run the country act like a bunch of fucking school kids every time they show up.
If you're interested in political slapstick, then looking up how the Japanese parliament/congress/whatever sometimes functions should be an eye-opener.

IMO (perhaps this is me being in the middle of the shit and hoping for the best), no-deal Brexit stands no chance of happening (unless some truly bizarre event comes out of the woodwork), and now we're heading towards a second referendum.
Theresa May might be against it, but frankly she's running out of options, and despite her being against it, more of her ministers are talking about it. I'm a big believer in how the comedy series 'Yes, Minister' portrayed politicians as people who only do things that win votes and anything else is "courageous" (in a negative light, because it's unlikely to win votes and is more likely to make them less popular and/or backfire). A no-deal Brexit stands a good chance of blasting the tory party into a party that's not even big enough to be the main opposition party, because as soon as people start not being able to get food or their prescriptions, people get uncivilised really fucking quickly, and it won't be forgotten for decades to come. That's just aside from the tory party being comprised of something like two-thirds remain voters, who will probably defect rather than continue to swim the wrong way up shit creek.
The second referendum is the best way to hand this steaming pile of shite back to the people and this time do a proper job of campaigning for remain. One thing I'm unsure about with a second referendum though is how the question would be asked. Logically it would have three options: "May's deal", "No deal", and "Remain", yet surely Leavers would be fragmented into the first two options and so reducing the likelihood of any Brexit. I'd be surprised if that happens, yet May's deal isn't even popular amongst Brexiteers. I suppose it could just be May's deal and remain being the only two options.
Jeremy Corbyn is really pissing me off now. Not only is he a Leaver running a party of almost exclusively Remainers and so therefore giving the main opposition party a lack of focus with regard to Brexit, but he's now also pushing for a general election at the time that we need to get Brexit nailed down (preferably into a coffin).
