It's still possible, but if you talk about it publicly you risk being contacted by people who would like to give a spirited demonstration of how the stereotype of Brits as polite people is outdated at best

[@ryanmoss7482]

It is a possibility but only after a general election or second referendum. If article 50 was revoked right now it would basically be the government giving the people the middle finger. The people voted to leave and so any government that effectively shrugs their shoulders and says "f#@k that, we're staying anyway" is dismissing the opinion of the people who are responsible for keeping them in power. That said, if the government holds a second referendum or election to ask the people a second time, then they could safely revoke article 50 after that point (assuming that remain won). They would lose the support of most hardline brexiteers, but i think that a lot of people have had a chance to rethink their opinion since the original vote. The fallout for the government would still be bad, but not as bad as just revoking article 50 when they have been told by the majority of people to leave.

The problem with taking it to a vote is, Brexit doesn't have majority support from the public. The only reason it passed at all is because no one took it seriously and either 1. didn't show up to vote no, or 2. showed up and voted yes as a protest vote thinking it would never pass anyhow. If you take it to a public vote, the public will vote to revoke Brexit, which isn't what the Conservative party that is in charge of the government wants.

Yes, technically she could block proroguing parlement. Watch an earlier video on proroguing for more info. Unlikely though as that could lead to ending the monarchy.

[@QemeH]

Technically, the queen is still signatory for all UK treaties. She COULD just sign May's deal and be done with it. The UK would then, parliament be damned, be beholden to that international contract. It would ofcourse be illegal for the Queen to do so as she needs approval for her signature, but she's also exempt from punishment, so... But let's not talk about ACTUAL civil war (as I'm sure this would be in the face of the monarch going against parliament) and talk about the political civil war that's going on. There won't be any winners if you continue to fight it on a do-or-die basis. It is HIGH time for compromise, but that seems to be the one thing MPs on all sides can agree on: They don't want THAT...

It's a weird system where the government acts on the queens behalf with her authority and she can revoke that authority and is allowed to do so on the promise that she does not in fact do that.

Before 1973, British trade policy centred around the "Commonwealth preference", i.e. tariff-free access to exports from the former Empire. Otherwise it could be rather protectionist and some key industries were nationalized (under all shades of government between 1948 and 1979). Capital controls were in full force between 1966 and 1979.

[@keepingcalm6469]

We have tarifs on cars elsewhere ... seems to work out anyhow. That's more an obstacle for the low price segment.

[@QemeH]

That's relatively easy: Check out all the countries your country has trade deals with, on your own or through the EU (or both). Then pick any country that is NOT on that list. That's your relationship to the UK after a "no deal" brexit. (So in your example: German cars that are exported to Quatar are hit with the same 5% import tariff and the same ban on any motorized vehicles that are older than 5 years the emirate imposes on all nations it doesn't have a trade deal with. If we'd try to export alcohol to them, it'd be 100% import tariff. And ofcourse I'd need a passport with a current visa to be allowed entry into the country.)

Hi Roland. I think it is clear a no deal brexit is the default position. The English acts of parliament are irrelevant in this respect. The EU rules decide how the brexit process runs. On oktober 31 the UK will leave the EU regardless if a deal is struck or not. Unless another extension is (1) asked for and (2) granted. Johnson refuses to ask for an extension so that option is out.

@@jonathanbuzzard6648 It wasn't crystal clear at all, because it also ruled that it would have to be done in good faith. It wouldn't be allowed to revoke article 50 unilaterally to invoke it again right away, just to buy time. And that's the whole point. The UK could have revoked article 50 unilaterally before the 29th of March, because invoking of article 50 meant that the UK notified the EU of it's intention to leave the EU. You can come back on your intentions. However, the legal question is whether it is still just an intention after 2 extensions. I didn't say it is and I didn't say it isn't. I merely pointed out that the legal experts question the issue. Revoking after the extensions could also be seen as bad faith to buy time. Btw. there are also legal doubts whether leaving is still the default option. That is based on paragraph 1 and 3 of article 50 which aren't crystal clear either, especially not after having had those extensions.

@@czarzenana5125 Ultimately it depends on what the rest of the EU members one. If they want to take UK back fast, they'll say there's no need for a vote. So unofficialy Brexit cannot be cancelled unilaterally. Officially, we'll likely never find out, because it's gonna be a no deal brexit.

[@unholywolf1945]

@NPC Knuckles the thing I think you're forgetting mate, is that unlike remain the leave vote is not a homogeneous group that voted for the same thing. Picture it was remain being the Tory's in the last election, just shy of a majority and then the rest of the parties combine to form a coalition with a majority despite wanting very different outcomes from said coalition.

[@unholywolf1945]

@Sam Mencia did I say I get to make the decision at any point? No, because I'm not a believer in autocracy. What I'm saying is that should we get a second referendum (which I believe we should) remain should be an option considering otherwise it'd be a vote alienating a significant portion of the population. And I'd argue your view is pretty undemocratic as a true democracy (not that we have one) is about the people having a discourse to reach a conclusion. Now seeing that the discussion over Brexit is ongoing I'd say it's absolutely vital to continue to look at all perspectives. Don't you think?

[@naphackDT]

What I don't get is why removing the backstop is seen as some sort of renegotiation. The terms of the agreement can stay as was negotiated by May. The backstop is a temporary solution until an agreement is found, so if they don't feel like kicking the can down the road and want to hammer out an agreement, it's not a renegotiation of the withdrawal agreement, even less an extension of the original Brexit negotiations, but merely the two governments sorting out the issue of the Irish border ahead of time and the backstop part of the agreement losing any validity before the agreement even comes into effect. Surely, it would be in both parties' best interest to sort out the issue of the Irish border as fast as possible.

[@lvoldum]

@naphackDT The thing is that the British border on the island of Ireland is the crucial point. The GFA became possible, when Ireland and UK both became members of the Customs Union, hence, no customs checks were needed anymore, and a "no physical border" was possible. Now, the preconditions change, when one side of the border is EU, the other non-EU, and both EU and WTO rules will demand a border. To protect the GFA, EU suggested that the border be moved to the Irish Sea, thus making customs checks on the island of Ireland unnecessary, and giving Northern Ireland a special status as being in both the EU and the UK. DUP couldn't agree to that, so the UK suggested that special arrangement to include all of the UK. The backstop is a safety net to ensure protection of the GFA, even if the UK and the EU haven't finalised negotiations about their future relationship by the end of 2020. So, the backstop is very much the central piece of the negotiated withdrawal agreement and cannot just be removed.

That made perfect sense: of course the UK government would not waste two years doing absolutely nothing, they would be well prepared.

So if Boris wants to prorougue Parliament to get a no deal through which is expressly going against the will of Paliament then she should say no.

[@QemeH]

Yeah, I tought that as well. But with that option, the tree suddenly grows by quite a lot. Because if they loose a vote of no confidence, there are immediately three possibilities: A) The government steps down and a new government of "national unity" is formed. This would most likely consist of opposition forces and soft-brexit proponents of the conservatives. But this just leads to the question, what THIS government wants to do. They surely wouldn't take May's deal, they can't be the third government in as many month to beg the EU for a change to the deal, so really they are faced with thre options again: Revoke, Extend, No deal B) A new government is formed, but from Tory forces. This just puts you back to the start of this chart. C) A new government can't be formed within the "grace period", so a general election is called. (This in itself is two options, because if the general election is before 31.10. this puts a new government in the position mentioned above and if it is after, this is effectively the same as prorogueing.) Sidenote: The paths to "general election" and "second referendum" technically don't end there. The election one leads back to the top of the chart, just with a different government, and the referendum one has three possible outcomes by the virtue of it's nature. In the end, however, the path doesn't really matter. There are three outcomes and the UK must choose one: No deal, May's deal, Revoke

Article 50 begins... 1. Any Member State may decide to withdraw from the Union in accordance with its own constitutional requirements. As the UK's "own constitutional requirements" have not been met, between parliament thrice rejecting the deal and the withdrawal act specifically mentiong it is subject to further legislation that has yet to be voted in favour, plus it violating the Good Friday Agreement, if we do nothing, we will remain part of the EU after 31 October. I'm not sure why so few channels, politicians, and media outlets have read the texts they speak on.

[@ChristianIce]

Can you tell me which article of UK constitution you are talking about? Hint: If there was one, art 50 could not have been triggered in the first place. If UK won't do anything, it will violate its own law (not constitution) and the GFA, yes, but it will still be out of the EU. After that, you can punish whoever you see fit for the violation, it's UK internal matter.

[@swanky_yuropean7514]

That's not how this works. The EU is not there to babysit the UK and ask them if they did their homework. The paragraph you cited just means that the EU takes any request to leave in good faith and that the member country who wants to leave checked beforehand if what they are asking for is actually legal. Whether or not leaving breaks national law is not up for the EU to decide on. The jurisdiction of the EU only decides on violations regarding the EU treaties. Having a totally incompetent UK parliament is not a violation. Therefore, the UK requested to leave, that's what they get. Unless some other agreement is reached in accordance with the treaties.
