Which is why I said respite. I’ve not looked in a while but If memory serves the 2 year period cannot be extended? Or at least I can’t see why it couldn’t be extended if all member parties agree? The advantage of withdrawing the notice from now is that that wouldn’t give the other member states any say in the amount of time UK government needed to sort itself out and what it wanted prior to having another go at giving notice under article 50. I think leaving the EU is an utter shit shop but it seems to me withdrawal of article 50 and a regroup to give notice again once the government has sorted itself is the best option. I also think that the negotiation with the EU need to be cross party.
The problem with extending article 50, it would push the trade deal further down the road and possibly we would be having a general election before the trade deal was completed. Can't see that being very good at all.
well, it seems they will have time to consider the rulling before the vote Joanna Cherry QC MPVerified account @joannaccherry 3h3 hours ago Joanna Cherry QC MP Retweeted Jo Maugham QC BREAKING NEWS #CJEU will give final judgment in #Article50 case at 8am on Monday morning so our aim of ensuring MPs know revocation is possible before the #MeaningfulVote will be achieved.

I think the government don’t want it to happen. Full stop. Perhaps my fault for not digging but the other parties don’t seem to be saying anything, certainly nothing that helps.
The two year time period can be extended as long as both parties agree, which is why I pointed out the irony, like the backstop and future trade deals, we can't even extend article 50 without the eu telling us we can
Exactly, so unilaterally withdraw takeaway the other member states ability to rule on the timescale to have another, proper , considered, thought out go as opposed to David Cameron’s gamble.
The other parties are saying something. And it’s the government isn’t listening. Whenever the Labour Party or the SNP ever speaks out the right wing press Hammers and discredits it. Regardless of the validity of what is said. If I was the Labour government I would take the view at the moment “this is the Conservative party ‘s shit show. The Conservative party can sort it out“
I don't think you can. For Brexit to be accurate and meet the wish of the majority then the vote was very clear, leave. It only seems to be the reaminers who have foggied the waters to try and stop brexit by creating 99 versions but the truth ain't one. For brexit to be brexit and return the U.K. to truly being an independent third country just like the 167 other non eu countries then wto/free trade is the only option that meets the vote. as to labour and the snp, both are doing their job and opportunism is part of that snp like a scratched record of independence and anyone but the english and labour with another general election
Just pointing out the obvious - the EU will always allow a second (and a third) referendum, if the previous result(s) was "wrong". This has already been shown to be the case.
The only alternative I can see is NI remaining in the customs union and we all know how that idea goes down with unionists
Sorry I mean withdraw article 50, get its act together and then have another go at Article 50, not another go at a referendum (unless that’s required).
Yes. In hope that NI voting to stay in the EU as it did (and might again in a vote??) carries some weight of public opinion.
they dont allow anything re elections, that has nothing to do with them. what do you get out of missrepresting the powers of the EU?
I would have thought any other party should be thinking ‘this is our chance - give the people what they voted for and move on ‘ The little I’ve heard / seen the other parties seem to saying ‘we will stop brexit’. Their no better then, not doing what was asked
And the snp, they quite rightly will demand if different parts of the U.K. are being given different deals then they want one. We could give them another indi vote, best of 3 but having lost 2 I don't rate their chances One of the biggest worries as some have said is a second vote and after brexit. One of the big issues what that the eu was not listening and it IS moving almost to a cult group in that people are being treated like sheep and we should adopt the guardian/remainer perspective of "you lot are too stupid, best you leave the hard choices to us university educated people" so we sought to bring that more to a country specific nation government. Now, if a second vote or no brexit is used, what the politicians of our country will have done is to say, the only time we respect a peoples democratic majority vote, is when you give us our jobs.
What it voted for at the moment, as matters appear right now, seems impossible. So the other parties couldn’t do that.
