Bercow's decision, based on a 415-year-old precedent, sets up a major constitutional clash between parliament and the government. A new 'fundamentally different' deal would have to be negotiated for another vote to be allowed, the Speaker said.
House of Commons speaker John Bercow has made a dramatic intervention in the Brexit process, ruling that Theresa May cannot bring her EU withdrawal agreement back to MPs for a third “meaningful vote” if the deal is “substantially similar” to the one that has been rejected twice so far.
The Speaker did not rule out a third Brexit vote entirely, signalling that he would allow the government to put another deal before the House if it was different from the previous the withdrawal agreement proposed at the previous two votes. In the case of the second meaningful vote, Bercow said he allowed it to be put because"it could be credibly argued that it was a different proposition from that already rejected by the House on the 15th January".
Bercow said that he was acting on concerns from MPs, telling the Commons:"Members on both sides of the House, and indeed on both sides of the Brexit argument have expressed their concerns to me about the House being repeatedly asked to pronounce on the same fundamental proposition."
