May using a meeting with the opposition just to dress down MPs is too real not to believe.

You know, the phrase "scapegoat" refers to ancient practice where all sorts of bad deeds were ceremonially blamed on a goat, and then the goat was sacrificed, so as to free everyone else from the burden and responsibility of those things. May is the no-deal scapegoat. As soon as no-deal brexit is achieved, Rees-Mogg is going to mash a giant red button on his desk that is labeled "Tory Coup" and either he or Boris will replace her as PM

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:serious question: what exactly do the eu gain by extending the deadline? The EU doesn't really want to lose trade with Britain through a no deal either, so extending the deadline avoids no deal from happening and an even longer extension offer baits a trap for the Tories to step in and ruin themselves. That opens up the chance for a Labour government that's serious about a Brexit deal that both sides can live with, or a chance to avoid Brexit entirely. Pener Kropoopkin has issued a correction as of 13:31 on Mar 22, 2019 |

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:serious question: what exactly do the eu gain by extending the deadline? The hope that the UK won't destroy itself and gently caress with the world economy, or that if it does, they'll have a little longer to finish setting up the barricade that stops them being covered in gore when Britain explodes next to them.

May's government basically came into this assuming that the EU can't live without British trade and would acqueisce to their demands. They didn't think the EU would be willing to keep altering the deal to manipulate internal British politics and undermine them completely. The EU always had way more leverage than the UK, and the Tories thought they could bluff their way through Brexit just like they've done everything else in Britain.

the thing I can’t grasp is how May thought that she could use a deadline to ram through her lovely deal, and yet she’s had to extend the deadline and still thinks it’s a reasonable gambit

An infinite number of UK politicians come to the EU. The first one orders half a Brexit, the second one a quarter Brexit, the third an eighth and so on. Says the EU bureaucrat „Yeah, don’t piss me off“ and puts an entire Brexit on the table.

The long-standing Tory strategy of blaming everything bad on the EU is only going to work for a little bit longer. After Brexit they will presumably start blaming everything on Labour, but it’s hard to say if that will be as effective. It’s easy to blame the EU because it’s an opaque and distant and complex institution that does a lot of bad things, I’m not sure that Labour will serve the same function as effectively

Delaying brexit also gives Macron time to crush the Yellow Vests before they can collide with whatever crises brexit causes. Or at least he probably thinks it will.

This is absolutely amazing, Merkel confirmed that if Brittain gets the long extension it will have to hold EU elections, whether it wants to or not. If it doesn't, it would make the EU parliament election results legally void. So, Britain is going to have to hold elections while still Brexiting and Garage is going on tour again with his plane crash bit. I can't wait

fancy watches are kind of a good inflation hedge and also an easy way to take $10k+ across a border without declaring it when fleeing your dying country, according to my friend who has a rolex that was used in this way when his dad fled the military junta in argentina

No, treaties and related things are normally just done by the executive, the Art 50 stuff only came about chase of the stuff in the Miller case. The extension has (I think) been offered and accepted
