I don't know what I would enjoy watching more, the Brexiteers getting humiliated by deciding to not Brexit at the last second, or the Brexiteers getting humiliated when their masterful Brexit negotiations get them nothing and Brexit is a disaster.

You can have your cake and eat it too - the Brexiteers can try and fail to stop the UK from crashing out of the EU on the 29th and then the negotiations will get them nothing.

it's almost what HAS to happen at this point. All this time and effort and insanity and then at the last second just meekly going 'uh...nevermind actually...sorry...bye'. It'd be the most British thing since those guys took over half the settled world on a quest for spices and decided they were all too spicy.

The last vote was to find out what Parliament actually wanted - the answer turns out to be fairies and unicorns because they: do not want the deal, do not want no deal, do not want an extension. It's taking exactly as long as it was originally scheduled - two years, ending on the 29th. It could theoretically be extended, but that requires all 27 EU nations to vote yes as well as Theresa May to eat crow, and several nations including Luxembourg of all places have indicated that they intend to ram both middle fingers squarely up the UK's rear end to send Perfidious Albion on its way. Of course, the EU might show compassion an allow an extension but really who even knows it's all down to if the UK can pay the bribes I guess.

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.

Belgium casts the No vote, finally earning it's place as the most powerful curse word in every language.

So what? It doesn't matter what they personally want, what matters is their professional conduct on the subject and professionally speaking Parliament wants Brexit.

So the distinction between a parliament that wants Brexit and a parliament that just wants to be seen to back Brexit might become important as the deadline draws nearer and the poo poo approaches the fan

It seems it's in the EU's best interest to reject any extension no? They want leaving the EU to look and be as excruciatingly painful as possible to discourage anyone else from trying this. After all if one country can just leave the EU without too much hassle then the tragedy of the commons kicks in and everyone tries to leave and the EU ceases to exist. They kinda have to make an example.of the UK and mount its head on a pike for all to see.

No deal is absolutely not in the best interest of EU member Ireland and they will most likely do their best to avoid it at this point.

Personally I hope the EU does reject the extension because the UK should be punished for being loving stupid

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.

that idea only works if you assume that the british government is competent in any way

Britain has already lost a ton of business and money due to uncertainties over Brexit, and an extension is just going to give them more rope to hang themselves in terms of long term uncertainties. There isn't any threat of a "tragedy of the commons" kicking in because leaving the EU is being proven as a lose-lose proposition. If you begin procedures to seriously leave the EU but don't at the last minute you're still a little hosed up, and granting an extension just drags out the agony of the process.

The tories already expect to let their business chums make out like bandits going all post-Soviet disaster capitalism on post-Brexit UK, and drat the consequences. They're probably entirely happy to burn down the country if they can rule the ashes.

Born-to-rule tories don't have to be competent, as long as they get to be in charge, and they know it.
