So, about that Law Parliament passed to prevent a No Deall?
It very Much looks like BJ's going to break it
What happens when the deadline comes and goes? Do Constables knock on the Door of No. 10 to take him away?
Meanwhile, faith among the UK population in Parliament's ability to do the right thing has collapsed to just 14%.
The Parliamentary arithmetic is so skewed that BJ can't just throw the DUP under the bus like all common sense dictates is necessary to get a deal through - he's his eye on getting them onside for the election that's bound to happen after the eschaton of Brexit is finally imminentised. He cares more for the remaining in Power, than he does for the governing - a moment straight out of room 101. The aim is not to govern correctly, but the sheer thrill of governing. Two thirds of the country will be mad as hell, but it doesn't matter if the fringe representatives from a fringe party give their OK to his remaining in power.
First Past the Post is so fucking broken. Never mind that Northern Ireland has cost the UK far more in Pounds than the EU ever did.
Meanwhile, in the Republic oif Ireland business lumbers along as usual with remarkable stability. Thus far, the opposition continues to maintain confidence and supply - clearly to keep the Government going through the crisis. A collapse in Government now would be catastrophic and both parties know it - they're putting their shit aside for the good of the country. One is the party of landowners and farmers, the other is the party of farmers and landowners - they should have some common ground. There're musings of an election in May - either after the Government has succesfully navigated the waters of a No Deal Brexit - or had the whole fiasco blow over. The Opposition can also trigger the collapse whenever they feel like it - of course - and they've been quick to remind those in power of that.
Either way, next year's Budget is being drawn up on the assumption of a No Deal, worst case. They still expect the economy to grow because - EU. As if pure GDP is the most important measure of economic health - but that's another argument.

Oh sweet meteor of death
Fall upon us.
Deliver us in fire
To Peace everlasting.
