    We can unilaterally revoke until midnight (EU time) on 12th April.

      None of which have been able to muster a majority of support in parliament.

        Won't happen. No party is going to do that, it would be political suicide. The only way for it to happen is for there to be another referendum, with a Remain majority, and that's already been voted down.

          GE hasn't been tried, and would surely pass. It's one of the scenarios Macron indicated.

          Monday will be interesting.

            Most eventualities we're currently experiencing were viewed as impossible at one point. Go back a couple of months and May's deal was certain to pass and there was absolutely no way the 29th March would be delayed. How many times did May say we would leave on 29th March?

            If it got to midnight and it was revoke or an accidental no deal thumpingly rejected by parliament numerous times, I would not bet against revoke (unless one of the real lunatics has become PM by then). But we're still a considerable distance from that point.

              For a GE to happen either: the DUP need to vote with the opposition in a vote of no confidence, which wont happen, or; May needs to call a snap election, and we know how well that went for the Conservatives last time.

                The difficulty is, if there is a majority for one of these other options in the votes next Monday it will have to be a Labour supported plan. It would be impossible for the government to implement that. That means a no confidence vote is almost inevitable. I can't see the government going for an alternative deal.

                The only viable option is a GE.

                      108 times in Parliament I believe although I'm not too sure if her lips were moving or not...
                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
