A long extension weakens may and gives more chance that something will change. A short extension does basically nothing.

A really short 2-3 week extension regardless of the MV3 outcome makes sense to me if the EU feels like it needs that extra time to prepare for No Deal and considers No Deal the likely option. Y'all are hosed.

April 11th is the last date we can start the process of EU elections. That extension is basically saying "we'll give you a couple of weeks to decide if you're staying or going", while at the same time making No Deal very hard because May's left her push so late that we can't legally do it.

May 22nd would mean about the last thing we'd do in Europe would be to come bottom of the table at Eurovision tbh.

V. Illych L. posted:because it doesn't cost anything We'd have failed to prepare for the elections, making our then staying in rather difficult. It makes sense for them to insist A50 revocation is done by then or not at all. (Unless we agreed to prepare for elections, which May apparently won't do.)

She's a liar and the tories have been prepping for them, so this is just the eu politely saying "ok have a think about that, ttyl, try not to get shot'
