It's like majorly procrastinating a huge term paper, also it's a group project and your group all disagrees on everything, also your entire class somehow loses if you gently caress it up

it even has the "let's change the spacing and margins to make it longer" element

also there's an elaborate bomb next to the paper and jigsaw is looking at you through a lovely tv and is like "why are you just standing there you will literally explode if you dont finish this"

Soft brexit would almost certainly have a majority if there was a free vote on it but may refuses to allow one and the only similar kind got beaten last time

Wouldn't that depend entirely on what options were on the ballot? If the options were "no brexit" "soft brexit" and "hard brexit", I bet hard brexit would win a plurality

The ECJ wrote that the memberstate can revoke at any time but has to respect its own constitutional requirements. So there'd have to be a vote.

The Independent posted:

Given the UK Supreme Court ruled that Article 50 could only be triggered with a vote of parliament, it is quite likely that it would need to be revoked by a vote of parliament. The court’s advocate general said in his recommendation that it was “logical that the revocation of that notification also requires parliamentary approval” given it was required to trigger the process.

The government’s lawyers appear to have conceded this point: in their submission to the ECJ during the course of this case they said parliament must have “directed the government” to withdraw Article 50.

However, neither of these strong indications actually make it law. Given what’s riding on the question and the ambiguity of the UK constitution, there is likely to be a legal challenge no matter what happens. Only then will we be absolutely certain. But it’s probably a parliamentary vote.

Is there any way out of no deal in ten days now?

As I understand it, any deal that the EU would accept would be unacceptable to the British Parliament. The British Parliament is incapable of putting together a deal that would be acceptable to the British Parliament. In theory an extension could give May more time to do politics and force the Parliament to accept her deal. But May has proven herself completely incapable of politics. So an extension would just be kicking the can down the road. And the EU has said they won't grant an extension if there's no reason to believe that the extension would actually do anything other than kick the can down the road.

So it's no deal in ten days, right?

Yes... haha! Yes!

I'm quite certain if it comes to the last day and it's revoke or no deal time, Bercow would bend the rules to allow a vote on revocation. I loosely assume that parliament would vote for it.

Looking forward to a court case about whether the UK has revoked in accordance with the constitution (and therefore whether it's in the EU or not) being referred to the ECJ.

No one in parliament wants it to mean anything, so it doesn't. If there's ever a remainer parliament, it'll feature heavily in Chilcott 2.0
