Brexit is not a tap that can be switched on and off.

it is possible that the UK Can withdraw art. 50 and can resign from the EU at a later date. The two-year waiting period will come to fruition. How often theoretically the UK can do this game is not regulated.

Yes. But the Brexiteers are still repeatedly pushing the fakery that the vote was for Hard Brexit. Which it wasn't. No terms in the referendum does not equal no deal. Carry on.

 

 

Agreed. But is was reasonable to expect what Cameron - and later May - stated.

May’s surrender agreement looks like it will be kicked out.
No Deal will probably be voted against too. How can they reconcile that with the 29th March date already legislated for?
A short extension to Article 50 would not achieve anything, plus would not easily be agreed by the other 27 EU members. A long extension would have Parliament playing with fire.
So, 18 days and we’re out. Free at last.

Withdrawing Art 50 is irrevocable which means UK cannot withdraw and then resubmit an Art 50 unless the EU agree.

 

The EU court ruled that it's interpretation of the relevant law is that the UK can revoke Article 50 any time before the 29th March - unilaterally; and it's membership terms would be exactly the same, as if nothing had happened.

 

Can you please supply a citation to support your comment that Article 50 not be invoked again without EU agreement - presumably you mean by the other member states rather than the executive?

True. That's EU law at the moment. Expect that too change soon!

I think the EU will first extend the deadline between termination date and withdrawal date. Two years are just too short to reasonably conclude such a complex process. Another change will may be the syncronasition between exit date and budget term.

The great majority of 16 to 18 year olds who were unable to vote in the 2016 flawed referendum (76%) according to a weekend opinion poll would vote to Remain if a new vote was allowed.

There is very little doubt that the result would be overturned if a new vote was held now and surely this is about the future of the next generation not old people like me who won't be around to see the consequences either way.

So get out of the way you imperialists and nationalists and let the future be determined by those who it will affect most.

And when a new PM is elected, which won't be too long, please let it not be some ultra right wing loony like Johnson or Rees Hogg.

True or not, for some reason I don't think of 16-18 year olds as being the height of reasonable thought! ????

...i'm still perfecting my gloat-dance ????

MPs are determined to remain, so I'm pessimistic.

 

To cheer me up, I keep watching the above video, as I'm sure MPs are very aware that they're walking a tightrope trying to remain - without losing their seats ????.
