Hang on, what are actually the repercussions of this vote?

Could be none to a ton. There vote was to strip power for Wednesday and to hold indicative votes then. But it is likely that nothing gets a majority via indicative votes besides meaningless statements like 'No leaving without a deal', so the UK is back to square one. But, if something does get passed...

From what I heard, the tories are basically ignoring the EU election campaign. There is too little at stake, and too many of their loyal voters are just voting Brexit to send a message to London/Brussels. Ignoring the election allows them to save face when the eventual loss occurs, and in their minds, their voters will just return when the country eventually leaves.

I wonder if they almost want to be crushed by the Brexit party so that they can push harder for Brexit.

There was certainly some tories on the BBC locals stream that I watched making the argument that their couple hundred losses (at the time) were necessary sacrifices to tell May and the frontbench to get on with it.
