From everything I've read in this thread and elsewhere, it seems like no deal on March 29 is practically a certainty at this point, just because there aren't the votes in Parliament or Europe or both for anything else to change the default before then. So why is the conventional wisdom still that "something" will happen to prevent this? Brexit by March 29 is still at 28 cents on the dollar on Predictit.

Man the anti-semitism controversies in countries without sizable Jewish populations are really awkward and dumb.

Since unilateral revocation is still possible, there's a small chance parliament will grab the steering wheel at the last second, but that's very dicey. Or enough opposition cave and vote for May's deal out of terror of the cliff edge

Parliament will revoke a50 on March 29 at 11:58 pm. It will be a total disaster for Brittan, but less so than no deal Brexit.

The EU has said the UK needs to be either in or out by then as they won't allow the UK to gently caress those elections up by being in between. An extension would only be allowed if Tessa May renegotiated on anything, which she is ruling out lol

Fallen Hamprince posted:twitter hyperventilating aside, it's not so much that corbyn is an anti-semite himself as that he absolutely does not give a poo poo about keeping anti-semites out of his movement It really is insanely hosed up how Corbyn refuses to press the big button on his desk that says "expel all antisemites"

And poo poo remember how Corbyn personally crept around the back of the labour party and opened a fire door so all those antisemites could sneak in without paying the cover charge, bad leadership imo

Der Meister posted:has the eu given this March as the final deadline or could they punt it some more Britain set the deadline themselves, because they invoked Article 50 in March 2016. The EU has said they'll extend it in the wake of a UK election, and they might also extend it in the case of a good faith negotiation which can still be tied up before the EU elections in May, but with Theresa May in charge it's very much a hard deadline. The EU has also issued a ruling that the UK can unilaterally rescind Article 50 at any time before Brexit and just stay in the EU with no further damage.

Lol what a joke. Just suck it up and leave the eu so you can suffer then rejoin once you have realized the error of your ways and adopt the euro. You got special treatment the first time.

A Buttery Pastry posted:The EU interprets this ability as "revoking article 50 with the intent to remain in the EU permanently", not "revoking article 50 with the intent to extend the negotiation". The EU could basically declare the revocation invalid if the British had made noises about their intent to just use it as a delaying tactic, which frankly seems like something the Brits would be unable to keep to themselves. Like, it seems to have taken them by surprise that people in the EU understand English and might react to the things they say in public. And presumably, invoking it again at a slightly later point would be evidence that the original revocation wasn't valid and thus Britain would be past the deadline and crash out immediately. The ECJ judgement called it an unconditional right and it would be very funny, so I'm going to continue to believe it might happen.

It's also easier to keep using English than to try to decide which language should replace it. That it's not the official language of most EU countries actually makes English more attractive.

There's no way French wouldn't be an official EU language if we had to get a new one, and nobody wants that.
