Summer recess is over, and Britain's Parliament reconvenes Tuesday to face a momentous decision about whether to intervene to try to prevent a possible"no-deal" exit from the European Union.
The role of House of Commons Speaker John Bercow will be important in determining when and how any debate unfolds. The speaker plays an impartial role in the British system, although Bercow last week criticized Johnson's decision to suspend Parliament for longer than usual before the Brexit deadline as a"constitutional outrage." He has been an outspoken advocate for Parliament playing an active role in setting Brexit policy.This is not usually a fast process.
If the bill is supported, it goes to the upper House of Lords for a similar series of phases, with differing rules about when amendments can be offered. Parliament's website makes clear that this process can be very slow, and is subject to filibuster tactics:"All suggested amendments have to be considered, if a member wishes, and members can discuss an issue for as long as they want.
Parliament is set to reconvene shortly before the Brexit deadline, but those opposed to a"no-deal" departure say any legislation should be passed this week. Parliament normally doesn't sit on Fridays or on weekends, but that could be changed given the current time pressure.
