No 2nd referendum, no changes to the bill.

The choice is now between no deal Brexit or ask for an extension

twoday has issued a correction as of 19:24 on Mar 14, 2019

So, if this passes, AND her deal passes next week, then why would you need to ask for an extension?

A tory MP says death threats were made by two loud Scottish Nationalists banging on the window of his office last night, saying that his only staffer who was there was threatened, when they said "you will be hanging by the noose in an Independent Scotland"

The leadership of the EU has been saying that they would approve a short extension but only if they are brought a plan. If there is no plan, they would support a two year extension.

The thing is they have no plan

However, any single EU country could veto it, and there is a chance that Hungary or Italy might do that.

Both the EU27 and the commission have signalled their willingness to a limited extension, but it greatly depends on the reasons given by the UK government as to why they want it (Tusk has previously said that an extension only makes sense if the UK are able to actually bring something new to the table) and every single EU government has to approve of it. I think yesterday Farage actually went to Rome to try and convince Salvini to veto an extension, so it probably mostly depends on how successful he was

EU will agree. I mean, there is always room for some freak accident, but barring that, Britain is here to stay. Welcome to the EU, my British friends

So what are going to do, approve a three month extension with 0% that a plan will be approved?

Or force the UK to arrange European elections so they can keep sitting on the EU's neck for two more years?

(the first one, I guess)

Germany has a constitutional ban on binding referenda, so I hope that means an automatica veto to any extension.

The UK government has done zero preparations or any serious financial commitments to Brexit because it clearly does not intend to go through with Brexit, ever.

If the EU ever seriously considers throwing the UK out by not extending the date, the UK will just pull A50. But much more likely is that they will manage to avert Brexit permanently before that by holding a second referendum or a general election or people just getting tired of it after two or three more years of this. This is all just a huge sham.
