Brexit

[Muddy Retriever]

I don’t think that’s a default position upon that outcome. The last thing I’d be doing is trusting a sound bight from a politician. Particularly one with such mobile red lines as May.

Stop listening to what they say, start watching what they do.

I no longer trust anything May says but surely in this case exiting without a deal is the default position. The Article 50 notice was given in March 2017 so if the deal is voted down by Parliament the UK would exit the EU next March without one - in the absence of anything else happening.

In reality I expect firstly, the Government to try again. If that fails some people think the Government would try to join the EEA. Others hope they would go back to Brussels and request a delay to Article 50. It is far from certain that the EU would agree to this but I guess they might if there was a second referendum.
