What is your legal status after triggering Article 50 ? Are you still considered a full member of the EU, meaning you retain all your rights including voting ?

What is your legal status after triggering Article 50 ?
Are you still considered a full member of the EU, meaning you retain all your rights including voting ?
Lots of things are illegal for member state, basically everything that the UK needs to do in the 2 years period is illegal for a member state. Remain have been bad at campaigning but forgetting to say that -actually- they won't be able to initiate any trade negotiation until basically the day all their deals expire seems like a major blunder. If that's indeed the case, the UK will have no choice but not trigger Article 50.

- makomk 10y agoAbsent Article 50, surely everything the UK needs to do in the 2 years period would be legal for an EU state, because Greenland managed it? The trick is/was that EU rules (fairly obviously) allow the EU states to negotiate changes to the agreements binding the EU together, including negotiating an exit whereby one of them leaves the EU but retains some access to the internal markets.
