Fourth Time's The Charm?

Apparently May is actually considering trying for a fourth time to get her deal through.
Is it really possible that the government could just keep trying over and over until it gets what it wants? Or is this just a fantasy?

Unintended consequences of the Fixed-Term Parliaments Act 2011. Without that Act, the massive defeats would have been de facto confidence votes in the government, forcing a general election. With that act in place, it's not clear how the government can be brought down: there is certainly little prospect of the Tory rebels siding with Corbyn on a No-Confidence motion that he brings forward, and what chance May calls an election herself?
Well Kromo....her "Deal" is the only deal that the EU will consider......her Deal or No Deal....it is the only show in town.
For the last 3 years, we have been saying "stick it to Brussels and they will cave in at the last moment"....but they haven't.
Parliament doesn't like her deal, but EU does and that gives you a clue to why she is hanging on to her withdrawal Agreement.

It is not actually true that May's Deal is the only deal the EU will accept. More precisely, it's the only deal that Theresa May will accept. The EU will in principle be content to arrange a deal based around a Customs Union, but that is something that May had repeatedly rejected. With some logic, it must be said: a Customs Union restricts the UK's future ability to negotiate its own trade arrangements.
Sqad: Indeed, It was not. Close, though! And it is worth bearing in mind, too, that there were something like 100+ abstentions, including most of the Cabinet. If, instead of Ken Clarke tabling the motion, it became official Government policy, then it would have a fairly decent chance of passing Parliament.
LOL....I agree Jim and this is where "democracy" and parliamentary procedures have failed miserably.
In my Government....after the Chequers meeting which was agreed (grudgingly )by the Cabinet......the Government of the day.....the proposal would be presented to Brussels who would have accepted.....job done....result of the referendum accomplished...the wish of the people ( which is after all democracy).
