You're right. There is no way she has anything up her sleeve that the HOC will approve. So what's left? They won't allow a no-deal - so it's extend article 50. What a f***ing joke.
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
James, no motion in parliament can ever overturn the law,
only statute can overturn statute
Parliament voted for a law made through a structured process that makes us leave on the 29th
No but it can be extended. I tell you my friend that's what these f****ers are going to do. Like Farage said today in the Telegraph - Brexit is being destroyed right in front of our eyes.
I'm telling you Tommie - they can and will extend article 50 - on BBC2's 'the week' Andrew Neil et al were talking about it.
James, James,,,
a vote in the House means nothing, it has no legal effect
Same applies to a `Second Referendum`, you would have to have a Bill providing for a 2nd Ref, go through all of its stages, blah, blah, blah..
there are only 30something working days left to the 29th so there`s no time for Bills to pass

All they have to do - from my understanding - is request an extension to A50 - and it's a done deal.
JC will ask for a favour during the extension...and boom!
Canada+? Norway++?
The obvious answer is Anne Elk. Let us get sculpting now! I suggest 20 metres?

If you`re still with us James.....
On 29 March 2017, the EU Commission stated "It is up to the United Kingdom to trigger Article 50. But once triggered, it cannot be unilaterally reversed. Notification is a point of no return. Article 50 does not provide for the unilateral withdrawal of notification."

And a change to UK law - as withdrawal has a legally defined date and time.
That's been changed. Just before Xmas the EU stated that we COULD unilaterally extend article 50 - it was all over the news.
no, that's not correct. We need an extension which has to be agreed by all 27 member states of the EU27 but we can withdrawl A50 unilaterally at any time.
Imagine TM asks Juncker and Tusk to extend A50.
TM concedes a new GE in April.
GE in May.
JC does not win enough seats so he forms a coalition with the SNP and LibDems.
Guess what, the SNP and LibDems then ask JC to withdraw A50.
Impossible scenario?
You are fully correct and I am also. It is currently the situation that nothing is in place to stop the UK leaving as scheduled on March 29 midnight. However the UK can stop this process. Again it must be a structured process.
As OJ says, the ECJ ruled that we can apply for an extension. No bill is necessary since it's not a cancellation, article 50 can be extended beyond the 29th March. President of the EU CommissionJean Claude Juncker has acknowledged that.
We can even revoke article 50 at any time during the two year extension.
Here's a link giving all that detail
.
Next GE more than likely won't have TM as Tory leader.

Indeed, it will just be playing for time to arrive at a next step. Since no-one wants No Deal, eventually all concerned will get fed up enough to agree on something so that the trade talks can begin.
It remains in question whether that will result in a true Brexit or Brino. There'll be many more rows over the trade talk agreements and how much they will cost us.
.
I reckon the least cost solution will prevail because there is little mileage in negotiating our own deals compared to collective bargaining with the EU27.
