No-deal better than a bad deal?

 So the European Union (Future Relationship) Bill has received Royal Assent without the Liberal Democrat amendments which would have ensured something like the democratic conideration which the European Parliament has been granted. However, it surely sent out the wrong signal to vote against it. The trade deal which Johnson and company have negotiated is deficient in ways that have been noted prevously (more detail here), but it is surely illogical to accept not only those deficiencies but also the uncertainty of "WTO term" as well, which rejecting the only deal on the table would mean.

Do not get me wrong. I would welcome the chance to rejoin the EU but rejecting this Bill does nothing to achieve that. Surely a reasoned abstention, which Labou's Clive Lewis sought to achieve for Labour, would have been the right way to go.
