Genuinely laughable. How do you think any of what you say makes sense?
I expect they feel that they are doing this by voting to prevent a No Deal Brexit.

Shame they didn't think of the public over the past however many decades until it all came down to this
You can probably tell I think they are all scum
That's a fairly sweeping statement and one that doesn't really hold much validity when applied to Brexit.
Regarding the main issues for many voters across the last few decades, the EU has been traditionally very low on the list - although I would argue high on a number of politicians agendas.
It's only really been, with the introduction of Austerity and anger whipped up around the Syrian Refugee crisis in 2015, that Brexit became the big issue. People have been given a distant threat to be worried about, that until recently in the UK has been poorly understood (even reading through this thread people seem completely oblivious to the structures and systems) and Brexit has become the goal no matter how much evidence is presented to indicate it will be detrimental to the UK.
I think it's a conundrum? Like, if we solve it before Halloween it unlocks a special drawer in number 10 and the ancient scroll with the secret to a successful Brexit pops into Johnson's grubby mitts?
That's Corbyn on his allotment in his coup that's the closet to no 10 he will ever get......
DEMOCRACY': A play in two acts, by Joey66
Act 1 - A Brussels office:
Barnier (I'm not typing the accent): "These are the technical details to work out"
Davis: "Democracy"
Barnier: "Yes, but there are some serious matters to attend to do here. Citizens' rights, the financial settlement, and not forgetting the Irish border."
Davis (who has forgotten Ireland even exists): "Democracy, Fritz" Quits
Barnier: "I'm actually not German, but regard... this needs to be sorted. Oh, you've changed negotiator."
Raab: "Democracy"
Barnier: "Look, we've just gone ahead and assumed reciprocal rights for citizens. The money is somewhere around this number scribbles. And the border will need to remain as-is until we can sort it down the line. We'll need a firm assurance on that."
Raab: "No matez, Democracy. We absolutely promise to give you an assurance on that, somewhere down the line"
Barnier: No, the assurance comes now, that we sort something later."
Raab: "Okay. Democracy" Quits
Barnier: "Time is running short, and this stuff needs signing off"
Barclay: "Democracy. Leave it with me" Leaves
Act 2 - The House of Commons. The Deal has failed to pass 3 times
Barclay: "Democracy is why you should vote for this extension. And Democracy is why I'm about to vote against it. Democracy for all, and for all their own democracy!"

What manifesto? Labour have not published a manifesto for next General election.
Its only the Conservative party that has any morale obligations to honour it's last manifesto because they won the last election on what was in it.
All oppositions are free to seek and build new manifesto pledge's.
Bloke I know has just had a letter from HMRC saying that as he appears to trade with Europe, he'll need a UK EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) before October 31st to continue moving goods in and out of the UK. This was sent this week, so not a great deal of time to do so, and he doesn't actually trade goods at all, but services, of which the letter says nothing at all. This from a government that supposedly wants to encourage 'trading with the world'.
Competence again. Ffs.
