re: #13 lawhawk

She’s hoping for the extension, but there’s no change to what her options are at that point. She could resign in addition to those options, but that doesn’t change the terms of what is happening here.

A new election would help. A new referendum on Brexit would clarify whether the UK even wants this (and therefore revoke the Article 50 request since the Brits changed their opinion in a public referendum).

Or she could do the courageous thing and unilaterally revoke Art 50 and dare someone else to challenge her and put it to a vote. She’s already going to go down as an awful failure among PMs.

Can she unilaterally revoke the Art 50 request? If so, that sure would make all the Brexiters mad at her. Oh, they already are, and GREAT BRITAIN IS A PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT SYSTEM NOT A REFERENDUM BASED DIRECT DEMOCRACY. So the mad Brexiters can go pound sand.
