It is time to push for a general election, after the disasterous negotiation on Brexit by the Conservative government, with the option of a People's Vote on European Union membership on the table.
That is the nub of the motion being put before the council tonight by Jo Blackman and myself.
The Conservative government has proved itself utterly incompetent and irresponsible over Europe, since the day David Cameron called the referendum.
There was no due dilligence done at that time as to whether it was possible to leave the EU without doing huge damage to the country.
The arrogance of Cameron was such that he made no preperation for a leave vote.
Cameron was replaced by May. The ministers negotiating have proved time and time again they are not up to the job.
Ministers who don't know how trade works or the significance of ports like Calais.
The Tories cannot negotiate a deal or command a majority in Parliament. Theresa May should stop wasting everybody's time and call a general election now.
And if there is still no way out of the present impasse, then there should be a People's Vote offering the option to remain. The people must have a say on the deal. There needs to be decisive action now.
