- Tuesday night's vote in Parliament defeating Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal might seem like a significant event — an emphatic rejection of what the European Union wants.
- From Brussels' point of view, however, nothing has changed.
- Article 50 is a legal process, not a negotiation. This isn't poker, and Britain has not suddenly been dealt a new set of aces. It's more like a court proceeding, in which the EU is deciding how the UK shall be sentenced.
- If Britain deludes itself into thinking the EU will start compromising, the country could flop out of Europe almost by accident, with no deal — that's the worst-case scenario.
