Originally posted by Yorkie62 View PostThe key is if a vote of no confidence in the government wins (the ayes have it) then then government ceases to exist and is replaced with an interim government which lasts only two weeks (enough time to put a GE in place). At this point parliament has no power to bring forth any new legislation and hence the 29th march (currently enshrined in UK law) cannot be changed. Therefore the default position would be no deal on the 29th March. The point at which a vote of no confidence is tabled and wins parliament is effectively dissolved, although it continues to sit for two weeks to arrange the technicalities/legalities/niceties' of a GE.Comment

If that was the case, it would mean no deal? She cannot ask mp's to vote on that same deal and the EU has made it clear many times that that's the only deal UK is ever going to get. I don't know...Comment

Well she is still banging on about holding another vote next week so she must know it is possible, or maybe not. She may just be totally cuckoo and needs a hard reset.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

The "exit date" in UK law does not define the day that EU treaties cease to apply - EU law does. However the "exit date" in UK law is still important as it is used by reference in numerous other pieces of Brexit legislation so it does still need to be changed to be the same as the actual leave date to avoid all kinds of legislative nightmares.
The exit date in UK law will be changed next week by statutory instrument.
