Then what? We DO still get parliamentary prorogation but there's seemingly time to get some things through. However would the EU accept an extension if asked?

So if Boris can't get a GE?

The EU will accept extension, just like they did in March, especially if the no-deal is taken off the table. It's a win-win for them, either the May's deal or Remain. Anyone who think there might be some better deal that Labour could negotiate is delusional. Boris got that one right - if no-deal comes off the table it's game over for the negotiations, there will be ZERO incentive for the EU to make concessions.
I doubt that even JC and his cohorts believe they can get better deal, they are only using it as a carrot to attract votes. -

Originally posted by CryingSheep View PostAgreed, but even with no deal on the table EU won't make any (relevant) concessions, so not much difference, really...
EU definitely don't want no-deal Brexit. The only think they want less, is to give the UK favourable leave terms/deal that can be exploited by the populist movements in other EU countries.
Removing no-deal and leaving the only 2 options May's deal or remain, removes the uncertainty for the EU, both the governments and the business there can easily plan for the 2 rather similar scenarios, so there is no rush for them to get it over.Comment

An extension is supposed to only be allowed for reasons of material change, not just to spin it out.
Extending because an election is taking place would surely be granted, an extension because the MPs outmanoeuvred the PM who remains in power... Boris would love if they refuse, right?!Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

The EU is expecting the UK to probably leave with no deal and then quickly come back to negotiate a Canada + agreement. They will then be told, 'Certainly, as soon as you have signed up to the backstop, the £49 billion settlement and the rights of EU citizens. Until then, bugger ye off and best of luck.'Comment
