You thought U.S. politics were weird, right? Well, the cross-party, anti-Brexit, pro-EU Remainers in the U.K. parliament have dealt the British public a double dose of duplicity. By a margin of 328 to 301, they have voted to block a no-deal Brexit on October 31 (thereby removing the country’s primary bargaining chip to get a good divorce agreement) and also have voted against Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s call for a snap election to resolve the impasse.
