Isn't "remain" option possible? Pardon my kidnapping the thread, but I don't think HN would appreciate splitting the discussion.

  Yep, it's still possible but increasingly unlikely at this point. The U.K. government have made an ultimatum today that the E.U. either accepts their "new" deal, or they leave with none. This deal isn't acceptable to the E.U. so there is an impasse.

    Except that under the Benn act, the PM is legally obliged to seek an extension from the EU if a deal isn't agreed.

      Yes, good point. While I hope that this is the case, my feeling after today is that the PM etc. doesn't care
      • J-dawg 7y ago
        Sadly that's my feeling too. He's already publicly said he would rather 'die in a ditch' than ask for the extension

          If the Liberal Democrats back down on Corbyn running a caretaker government we could very well see a second referendum that would more than likely return a remain result. It certainly doesn't settle things, we're going to have these issues for years to come, but may take us away from the cliff edge.
