The British parliament needs rescue from itself on the question of Brexit. Parliament has simply lost the way, and does not seem to understand the seriousness of the path they are taking in this long drawn out process on agreeing a deal.
The incredible failure of parliament to agree on how to proceed with Brexit is so alarming, we must question how clued up many of our Mps are when it comes to resolution of disputes. On a matter as serious as Brexit , the least that should be expected of Mps is to know how best to proceed, or how to make the best of the next best idea .
Experts from other fields need to come to the rescue of parliament if the country is make the needed progress to move forward. Legal and political professors discuss the national political crisis from afar, but no clear solution appears to be in sight on the public stage.

When the best brains from this publication met over the weekend to discuss Brexit and other topics, we were at least able to agree that rebelling Mps have failed to make their case for a better alternative than the deal presented by May. There is no barrier preventing someone from this or any other publication drawing out an intelligent blueprint for securing the best way forward.
That not one of the many Mps in parliament can solve the Brexit problem has to be an embarrassing failure to very intelligent men whose votes in parliament can make and change laws. This suggests Brexit to be too big for their intelligence and the high educational institutions they were trained before the wealth of political experience they have gathered over the decades.
Theresa May has had to shoulder all the blame up until now because she is the prime minister, but the blame rests with parliament as a whole. The leader of any crumbling organisation can ultimately be held responsible for the failings that occur within that organisation.

That responsibility goes as far the inability of the leader to unite members along lines of his or her ideology on important matters. Howeever, Brexit poses more complex problems than this if as we are led to believe by some experts in the know that many Mps are driven by their own agenda either to dethrone the prime minister, scupper Brexit, or shift the political directive in a different direction.
Mps cannot tell May why her deal is not acceptable, or why May or any of her supporters cannot tell rebelling Mps why her deal makes sense or is acceptable.
Theresa May has recently been facing another backbench rebellion against her Brexit policy that has extended the original March 29 exit date for the Article 50 divorce process to April 12. Those rebelling Mps are a big problem complicating a bigger problem.
If parliament were in order, the original Brexit date would not have needed to be extended , but the strong opposition to the proposed deal has made the extension an inevitable consequence of parliament’s disunity on the matter.
Britain and the EU agreed last week that Article 50 needed to be extended to allow the UK more time to work out its approach to Brexit. The May government now needs to amend the EU Withdrawal Act 2018 and bring it into line with the European Council agreement. Parliament is divided on whether there should be a Brexit delay, most members are reportedly against it but they have to be stuck with it.
