two weeks ago we were told the letter triggering article 50 was going to be sent by the 23rd march but no reports of it having gone yet so now what is the hold up :roll:

The Government did not say that it was going to be 23rd March. That was the press. The Government said it was 29th March.

I was under the impression that they had stated by the end of March.

You lot must have missed the news for a couple of days last week. It is the 29th March. It was delayed due to the EU anniversary celebrations, or did you miss that as well?

Don't be to hasty. There are some remainers who still think it is a bluff and the UK will back out of leaving. :lol: :lol:

I think more likely the negotiations will take so long that a general election will be called and probably one if not more parties will put it as a manifesto pledge to stay in the EU :wink:

I don't think that you are far off of the mark on that one :sad:

The negotiation have to be completed within 2 years unless both sides agree to an extension. If no agreement is reached then world trade rules apply and it is over.

Two years will take us pretty close to the next General Election! I am thinking that if the (other parties) decide to hold hands ie blocking the workings of government, then an early GE could be called - it would no doubt be fought by many as a chance to negotiate favourably for the remoaners!

It is 3 years 2 months to the next scheduled election. As stated above. Both the UK and the EU have to agree on any extension. Simply trying to block the exit wont work because if no agreement is reached we automatically leave under world trade agreements.
