@leadore the ECJ have ruled that Article 50 can be unilaterally revoked so it is possible for the UK to say "nope, that was a fucking stupid idea" and stay as if nothing had happened

@leadore What the UK can't do is unilaterally extend the Article 50 period, so as it stands the options are to crash out with no deal on the 29th (which the UK parliament have made very clear they don't want), agree to the deal negotiated by the PM (ditto), ask the EU for an extension of the process in order to do... something (which doesn't solve anything in itself), or unilaterally revoke Article 50 and stay in the EU (which nobody has the balls to do without a second referendum)

@leadore best option is for the UK to just revoke article 50 but that's not going to happen
so, next best option is an extension to article 50 during which there's a second referendum, the people say no to brexit, and article 50 is revoked but that needs parliament to vote for first the extension and then for a second referendum
