Under the bill - introduced by Labour MP Hilary Benn - Boris Johnson might have to request a Brexit extension on 19 October, pushing the deadline back to 31 January 2020.

But there are two scenarios in which he would not have to do this:

MPs approve a Brexit deal in another meaningful vote (remember them?)
MPs vote in favour of leaving the EU without a deal

I can't see either of those things happening

So extension it is

now imagine bojo having to go and ask EU for an extention

lmao

how 'bout we leave, anyway

The EU can refuse. @Hopix

they wont

EU nations could VETO the extension.

I'm aware but I can't see them refusing

Boris could theoretically veto it.

The Queen could refuse royal ascent of the law.

Does the Queen ever do that?

the only incentive they had to refuse was back in april and it was the EU elections

Not recently, though it's her right.

now that passed

what did she last do it for?

Oh, never mind

She hasn't before

1914 was the last time it happened

Guess we're in remarkable times, if she's gunna do it again, now's the time

Jacob Rees Mogg is on the privy council, so he could recommend she refuses to sign it.

~~assent*~~ <:GWmiyanoSip:398867239895433226>

Does it only take one EU nation to block the extension?

Yes

THOUGH.

VETO's might be overruled with a super majority

I'm not sure about that

I'll need to research that.

the fuck

But as far as I'm aware, any nation can prevent the extension

someone living on the mainland could just start a new country and join the eu, just to veto our extension

Nope, there's no way to overrule a nation VETO

So if any nation VETOs the deal or extension (Assuming they can vote on it), we no deal

And looks like they do have the opportunity to vote on it.

Can the UK VETO it?

So Boris could get a country to VETO the extension

Maybe.

Imagine if the UK vetoed it successfully

Democracy bitch

I've not seen anyone talking about it online, theoretically we could
