Zero chance of a sensible Brexit amidst the pandemonium and hysteria at Westminster

[Platypus]

I haven't been following the news closely so may have missed something. Are UK voting rights disappearing if there is an extension?

Kinda. There talk of UK having an 'intermediate' membership status

Of course! The EU can be fully trusted to help us whereever possible, just like it has the last 2 years.

Good. Nothing like living in a dictatorship.

Talk is all it will ever be, the UK can only lose voting rights through a treaty change.

Far more likely is that we lose representation on relevant commissions and committees. Totally legal, and with the agreement of the UK.

Quid pro quo, if the UK wants to beg for an extension then it needs to give something in return.

Yeah, makes sense I suppose. We may as well get used to be a paying member who follows all the rules but who gets no say / vote. It what [strike]I[/strike] Leavers voted for

Maybe this is TMs get out clause. Yvette Fieldings bill only requires us to ask for an extension. It mentions nothing about begging for one. So if the EU are not willing to respond to a reasonable request... we leave on Friday.
