Labour and the tories have both put out a call for candidates and our community centre was just booked for use as a polling station, so I think they're happening.

Worst case, there’s definitely a majority in Parliament to force European elections given that the alternative is no deal.

If it wasn't for the fact that the people in charge are just that incompetent, I'd be convinced they're deliberately dragging their feet and asking for continual extensions just to run down the clock until they can hand it off to the next government or just drop the whole thing altogether.

They can be both incompetent and that could still be true. Everything regarding Brexit can be explained by people desperately avoiding blame. It’s a good idea for Labour, it allows them to stick the boot into the Tories more. But since the Tories actually are to blame, it’s tearing them apart. Everyone wants Brexit to be happening soon but no one wants the actual consequences of Brexit to happen.

If we actually do get a general election the Tories will be fascinating to watch. In a large part they will be actively trying to lose, as the best situation for them is one where the hot potato of the responsibility for Brexit is finally in someone else’s hands.

So in the end what did May offer to the EU that was substantially different enough for them to accept an extension to October? Or did they just flinch at the last minute and concede it without any substantial promises?

They probably figure that the collective outrage on the Tory back benches will spike blood pressures high enough to trigger enough by-elections to nullify the DUP's contribution to May's majority.

They always wanted a longer extension, but were hampered over the timing of the elections. So the deal appears to be 'Long extension, but if you leave with no deal before June, you don't have to take part in the EU elections."

We need the equivalent of the shrimp = small pastry avatar, but for ambulances and their mysteries now.
I'm not entirely clear on how automatic the UK participation in the EU elections is supposed to be...does Parliament need to vote on it, or is this happening unless they vote against it? Cause whoever pushes to proceed with the EU elections, if a vote is needed, is going to be named "anti Brexit" instead of the voice of reason.

I guess May's idea is to delay a vote on EU election and force the labours to call for them; and if no one calls for them, dangle another "my deal or no deal" on May 31st. The problem I see with this plan is:
- May delays the procedures for EU elections.
- Labour don't call for them.
- Eventually the SNP or someone clamors for EU elections.
- The vote fails.
- We get a "my deal or no deal", May's deal wins.
- May steps down, BoJo or Gove or another inhuman becomes PM.
- Said inhuman crashes the plans for May's Brexit.
- Hard Brexit that is almost or completely a no deal one.

I’m pretty sure we need to legislate to make the elections happen, and the previous Brexit deadline was chosen because it was the last possible point at which that could still happen.

It's astounding
The Tories are fleeing
Madness takes it's toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
We're going to take back control
I remember doing the Brexit Warp
Loving those moments when
Jacob Rees Mogg would vote me down
And the EU would be calling

Let's do the Brexit Warp again!
Let's do the Brexit Warp again!

It's just the noes to the left
And then the ayes to the right
Put your hands on your head
And bring your knees in tight
But it's Theresa May
That really drives you insa-a-a-a-ne!

Let's do the Brexit Warp again
Let's do the Brexit Warp again

It's so dreamy
The withdrawal agreement freeing me
But you can't see it, no not at all
In another dimension
Corbynistic intention
A custom union, you'll see it all
With a bit of a vote flip
You're into the brexit slip
And nothing will ever go through
You're spaced out on exasperation
You need EU extension

Let's do the Brexit Warp again!
Let's do the Brexit Warp again!

Well I was walking down the street just-a havin' a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
He shook me up, he took me by surprise
He had a big red bus and the devil's eyes
He stared at me and I felt a change
The EU meant nothing, never would again

Let's do the Brexit Warp again!
Let's do the Brexit Warp again!

It's just the noes to the left
And then the ayes to the right
Put your hands on your head
And bring your knees in tight
But it's Theresa May
That really drives you insa-a-a-a-ne!

Let's do the Brexit Warp again!
Let's do the Brexit Warp again!
