So what happens now? It's 10 PM there, I guess they take the night and try to figure out what to do tomorrow, probable chance of calling a general election and getting an extension through that? Otherwise they sit in deadlock until no-deal is triggered Friday and the EU refuses to give an extension because they couldn't accomplish anything?

I thought that the EU backed off of refusing to give an extension. That's what the predictit markets seem to think, anyways.

It's fun that y'all didn't write down any rules or anything for how government should work, so one really determined PM can just drive the whole country into a loving wall at 100 kph because no one can force her to call elections no matter how much of a failure the government is.

Normally in history what'd happen is this government would have collapsed months ago and gone to a general election and they'd either get more MPs or Labour would become the party of government. But after the 2010 election the Tory/Lib Dem coalition brought in the Fixed Term Parliament Act, the idea being it'd be harder for their backbenchers to bring the coalition down prematurely. But now it means that you need to pass an explicit Vote of No Confidence. And there's a lot of MPs with slim majorities who don't feel confident of retaining their seat at a snap election, so there's a general terror that has lead to total loving breakdown of government.
