How can the EU agree to an extension of A50 provided May's deal is accepted when she can't take it to the HoC?
Quote from: SydneyRover on March 21, 2019, 10:28:12 pmHow can the EU agree to an extension of A50 provided May's deal is accepted when she can't take it to the HoC?They can't offer an extension without a good reason.They asked May what her Plan B is should her deal not get ratified by Parliament..She kept refusing to answer that question, instead parroting her phrase 'Plan A will succeed'.I can't blame them making that stipulation, just to stop her attempting the kick the can down the road some more, can you? It's them saying 'it's your problem, not ours, so get it sorted or feck off and stop wasting our time'.

GlynTaking a decision to ask the EU for a long term extension of A50, after May's Govt has been brought down would be the biggest political call in a century. It's not just keeping Govt ticking over. I'd be astonished if any civil servant would feel empowered to do that.
The European Council agrees to an extension until 22 May 2019, provided the withdrawal agreement is approved by the House of Commons next week. If the withdrawal agreement is not approved by the House of Commons next week, the European Council agrees to an extension until 12 April 2019 and expects the United Kingdom to indicate a way forward before this date for consideration by the European Council.The European Council reiterates that there can be no opening of the withdrawal agreement that was agreed between the [European] Union and the United Kingdom in November 2018. Any unilateral commitment, statement or other act should be compatible with the letter and the spirit of the withdrawal agreement.The European Council calls for work to be continued on preparedness and contingency at all levels for the consequences of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal, taking into account all possible outcomes.She still has to go Glyn, she is hopeless personified.
So now theres an extension in place, how does that affect the law that was passed saying we leave on 29th March, that JRM was quick to point out after MV2 was kicked out

They'd probably only get one till after the election result is known plus a bit for the new government to talk to them.

The swivel-eyed nutters on the far right are already up in arms about elected politicians making the decision to extend A50. Imagine a civil servant doing it. What would his/her argument on authority be?

Quote from: BillyStubbsTears on March 20, 2019, 07:01:13 pmSpeculation that May is going to speak to the Nation at 8pm, to say that she will bring her deal back next week, and if it's defeated she will call a General Election. I'm sure someone posted that earlier.....Speculation now that she will just take the opportunity to appeal to us, the great British public, to put pressure on our MP's to back her deal. This is the great British public of whom only 12% support it.Useless fact. If she appears at a podium with the PM's crest on it - its a statement on behalf of the country and she is not resigning nor calling a GE. If there is no crest on the podium she is appearing as leader of the Tory party and will be calling a GE.

Apparently, our Prime Minister believes that people who voted leave voted for pain! https://mobile.twitter.com/APHClarkson/status/1108852998774632449 Unhinged or what?
