Has to be for a real reason.
Until everyone discovered that the politicians are equally as ignorant as the voters.
Football has been cancelled after the great so called chewing incident, after hungry several players started eating the referee
So Corbyn will get his election wish after all...
That'll be fun and games won't it!
The entire Leave campaign was built around securing a deal and no deal was dismissed by its leaders as scare tactics.
You'd have to be completely oblivious to think brexit meant no deal
There is no way to tell since it's dependent on a vote at the EU council where unanimity is required.
An English woman I know is leaving tomorrow for the UK and due to fly back here to her home on 30th March. She's not confident she'll make it back on the 30th.
Fortunately it was Jon Moss so there's still plenty of him left.
Ding ding ding
Pretty sure they said they'd only extend for a valid reason.
Not agreeing on a deal they've put forward wouldn't be classed as a good reason i'd imagine.

the politics of failure have failed, we need to make them work againI’ve got my flight scheduled on 30th as well to London, gonna be fun that it seems.

Kodos for 2020!!!!
I'm sure Juncker said no existing member would stand in way of extension if Britain wanted to delay brexit. It can possibly be extended if there is election allowing people to vote.
Doubt any 'special reason' is needed other than more time to negotiate a proper contract or new election/referendum.

Just end this madness FS
An election or referendum sure. More time for May to keep asking the same question? Unlikely.
From Sky News...
Seems like if they're going to agree an extension, we have to agree on a reason why. Second Referendum or General Election. I personally think it'll be an election.
I think that a vote to take no deal off the table tomorrow will mean that the ERG will vote for May's deal when it is next tabled. Probably in the next couple of weeks.
Its already split in half, I'd rather it be split in half but not completely crippled thanks.
EU has this hope that in absence of a deal or alternate options, a new election/referendum would keep UK in EU. That would be their preferred solution.
So they will extend this time. Perhaps after new election/referendum, brexit still stands...then they won't extend anymore.
Again, we don't know and Juncker doesn't either it depends on the reason of the extension and whether EU members thinks that its a good reason.
That would be the best thing that could happen. Especially if it achieves an actually significant majority showing that the leavers no longer want it.
I think if they had to have the choice, it would be an election over a referendum.
They'd likely be under the impression that a referendum could cause more trouble than it's worth, and even if leave won again, we'd be no further in, because there would still be squabbles over the deal.
Under an election, the Conservatives can put their deal out, and Labour can put their alternative out. Lib Dems can continue to be as irrelevant as ever. If Conservatives get elected again, then they do so with the mandate of the people like our deal, we must approve it. Same with Labour. If it's a hung parliament again, well, we may as well just shut up shop and go home.
That's nobodies fault but their own, given that they were told every single day by everyone who knew anything about this that it would be anything but a clean break.
There is no guarantee...but the expectation is that an extension should sail smoothly with no issues.
Yes, the eternal hope is that people would ask again "why brexit?" as the old slogans have been proven to be lies. They should drag up the mop haired idiot in front of the big red bus with the lies and use that to oppose brexit.
Oh I agree. The whole thing was a massive clusterfeck, and should never have been put to a public vote to start with.
Thankfully a precedent for ignoring the results of a referendum wouldn't have been set for Farage, the ERG and co to demand a third one and another 3 years of this.
Like when Farage and co said they were going to push for a second referendum if remain won the first time? When they win a 2nd referendum is off the table but if they lose, then they want one?
This is pure genius!

Would they really attract a majority for going through all this shit again?
To anybody in Britain: Hammer your leave friends with questions, ask your brexiteer family members what has come from 3 years of Brexit. Demand answers, be obnoxius, be intrusive, never mind manners.
The people responsible for this should at the very least feel the wrath of those fecked over by it. You won't change anything by being nice.

Well I was making the assumption that Remain would win, which I certainly don't think is a done deal. If it did, I think it would depend on whether Farage decides leaving the EU or trying to get his party MPs in the Commons is the ultimate end goal.
Had a colleague tell me today how he convinced his brother to be in favor of no deal on the basis that beer would be cheaper because of zero import tariffs
He was chuffed with himself until I pointed out that we work in an industry that would probably be most adversely affected by tariff free imports.
Brexit Odds
So I make it 81% we will still be in the EU March 30th
