    I hope your right ?

    This thread has jumped about a bit Brydo ,so to try and get back on track?

    Parliament has voted to invoke , ie to put into legal effect, Article 50 and unless there is an agreement to cancel Article 50 by at least 20 EU member states ( as I understand ) then Brexit will happen on the appropriate date, which was initially 29th March this year, but by mutual agreement is now 31st October- we leave, supported by both European Union and U.K. Law?

    As I read it, there is nothing written in Article 50, stating that new agreements must be negotiated during the mandatory two-year leaving period, it is just assumed that this will happen, and further, and this is highly relevant to whether or not we leave with or without a deal, ‘there is no legal requirement that any agreements including ‘the Withdrawal Agreement’, have to be made ‘ !

    “So perhaps we all need to wake up to this fact, when speculating over good deal, bad deal, no deal etc., votes of no confidence , Marxist revolutions, & giving the Tower of London a fresh coat of paint ready for either BoJo, or Corbyn & perhaps MacDonald, to be incarcerated , as, if indeed there is nothing within Article 50 regarding the compulsory negotiation of new deals during the 2 year period , and as Parliament has passed legislation invoking Article 50, it has in fact already voted for a process that automatically leads to no deal on leaving , which is why the BBC keep reporting that the Government has simply to do nothing as we drift towards Halloween?

    Q. have any MP’s actually bothered to read Article 50, Brydo, did they know that they had already voted for a no deal Brexit, by default I wonder?

    It appears therefore that BoJo & the Government will be acting legally by doing nothing if they so wish, and we will automatically be out on the 31st October, no ifs no buts, a no deal is already law, and as many in Parliament clearly don’t like it, ( or understand it? ) they will have to ask ‘ Chief Mischief Maker Bercow to make time to debate new legislation to revoke the Article 50 legislation, time which it may not have available to it?

    Even if the unholy alliance is successful in getting time for debate , and then go for the jugular ( they dream? ) & manage to win a vote of no confidence , BoJo has fourteen days to rally the troops before a second vote is imposed upon Parliament, and this is a period whereby MP’s of all parties accept and maybe rejoice in that they have given BoJo a bloody nose, but now during this 14 day period, very carefully have to weigh up whether or not they pay the price at the polls of giving 17.4 million voters a bloody nose as well?

    I understand that he could of course just chose to resign immediately , before or after the first vote, and call a GE for November, thereby foiling the attempted coup?

    Even if he waits 14 days, & then loses again, apparently, he could chose not to resign immediately or not at all, and in any event, it is his decision to select a date for a General Election- as above, one day in November perhaps, after Brexit?

    A Constitutional Crises Brydo, maybe? But much less of a crisis Methinks, than a Marxist/Leninist getting the keys to no 10 ?
