I can see the logic in this, but it would be completely impossible for Mother Theresa to not trigger article 50 till that time. Maybe the first order of diplomacy should be to agree an immediate 1 year extension to the talks. Article 50 gets triggered as planned early next year, and then a vote is taken to extend the talks by a year, taking into account the French and German elections.
