I don't believe there is anything written down about reversing an Article 50 submission, especially as nobody expected one to be put in in the first place.Bread2.0 wrote:gloswhite wrote:No XM, I've been looking at an over-arching view, and even with all the kicking and screaming, there's only two outcomes.

Ah, but there is.....
We can still abandon this disaster simply by reversing the decision to trigger Article 50.
And given the way things are going and to stave off any further damage to the economy, that's the only sensible course of action available.
I disagree Glos. It's a huge issue for us for sure and we need to resolve it because just as predicted, every day of uncertainty that passes is damaging our economy and credibility.gloswhite wrote:Breaders, agree with all your points, but even though they didn't instigate it, its too big an issue to ignore, for them as well as us.
Nothing wrong with being hopeful, but think the chances of all those things happening are vanishingly small.Bread2.0 wrote:How's this for a scenario:
Stalemate with the negotiations continues, Tory party infighting worsens, May gets ousted, snap GE called in the Spring, hung parliament (again), Labour / SNP/ Lib Dem coalition takes control after campaigning on a 2nd EU Ref ticket, we apologise to Europe, Article 50 gets reversed and we thus avoid the unnecessary economic disaster which would undoubtedly follow if we had carried on with this lunacy.
Or am I just being too hopeful?
And there we have the crux of the matter. They are not 'rescuing' us. We don't need rescuing.wanderlust wrote:
Just because we painted ourselves into a corner doesn't mean they have to rescue us, especially when they are profiting from our self-inflicted demise.
I remember him saying he didn't know how it would pan out, as he didn't think anyone would leave, and he wrote article 50 accordingly.Bread2.0 wrote:Here you go, Glos:

Lord Kerr says we can reverse the decision to leave at any point up to the 2 year deadline from triggering it.
And he should know, he wrote Article 50.
A likely story.gloswhite wrote:Enjoyed these last few exchanges, but got to go now, as I have a massage appointment, and 'yes', it is with a young lady.
