As things stand, it looks inevitable that Theresa May’s Brexit deal will be defeated in the House of Commons on Tuesday, but what happens afterwards is the great unknown. While a number of MPs have voiced their opposition to May’s deal and no deal, the majority still have not made clear what they would support in its place. And unless there is a parliamentary majority for another option, Britain will leave the EU on 29 March without a deal by default.
So what is there a majority for in the Commons? In an attempt to find out, Coffee House has compiled the public Brexit position of every single Tory MP. Their views have been split into five different categories: supporting May’s deal, no deal, a second referendum, Norway, or ‘Undeclared’.
First, some notes about the categories:
- We have presumed that those who are currently supporting May’s deal will continue to do so (unless they say otherwise) if it returns to the Commons.
