Originally posted by zerosum View PostThis is not going to happen. That's why all the Brexiters finally voted for May's deal. They know that the alternative is a long extension, EU elections, and with a bit of luck Brexit dies like the rabid dog it is.
The UK can only ask and hope the EU will grant one. Actually getting it depends on how much patience left the EU has.Comment

The EU will agree, if we agree to hold EU elections and provide a reason for delay.Comment

Raab/Rees-Mogg/Johnson gameplan very transparent. Vote for this deal, then make merry hell with all the real legislation that needs to pass. By May 22nd, May's deal, or no deal. A real cliff edge.Comment

Originally posted by zerosum View PostThe reason Raab and Johnson came around to vote on the WA? Because they know that in that case, there could be no more extensions. .
The reason they came around is that May promised to resign and that would put them in line to become PM.

Originally posted by zerosum View PostNegative. The reason Raab and Johnson came around to vote on the WA? Because they know that there will be no more extensions. We *have to* decide to organise EU elections by April 12th, or there can be no more extensions -- the EU would be illegally constituted. If this deal had passed, May could really genuinely have threatened 'pass my deal or no deal', and for once it wouldn't be bulltulip.
As it hasn't passed, the deadline is now the 12th April. If nothing happens between now and then to agree a deal or a further extension we crash out with no deal."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Originally posted by DaveB View PostNo. If this deal had passed the vote we would be leaving on the 22nd May, giving time for the required legislation to be passed. Even if there was opposition in the HoC the government could have forced it through. We would then be into the transition period where we are supposed to thrash out trade deals/arrangements etc.

Originally posted by zerosum View PostYes -- but we couldn't even have asked for more extensions if the WA had passed, because of the EU election issue.Comment

12th April is the new 29th March....“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
