I hope so.
Tonights vote

In reality if anyone vetoed the extension .... the EU would have another vote until they got it right.
Running short of time though. If it's veto'd then it's either a deal or no deal on the 29th. I can see Italy doing it as there is a large movement to get out of the EU there and those folk hold the power at the mo. The UK leaving would set a precedent that it is possible.

There's a lot of bad blood within the EU against Juncker, Macron & Juncker and also against the UK.
Will be interesting to see what happens.

Hmm... my gut tells me that the EU will allow an extension for a hefty price, financial, trade / fishing etc., or both... Orban is probably posturing for more cash or some such.
I dislike Orban, he is very close to being a fascist in many ways but, although I wouldn't shake his hand, I'd be very glad if he were to veto an extension.
However, it wouldn't surprise me if the Remainer MPs - a majority, remember - were to vote to revoke Art. 50... they really do seem to have that much contempt for their electors.
Edit: then again, if they won't vote for another referendum, maybe they wouldn't. Probably just water down Brexit as much as possible.
Good to see you back @Pasty.

Yes I think that would give some just cause.
All down to timing I guess because May would still want to try her deal .. in fact I guess they probably would do her deal rather than revoke.
Revoke probably would cause serious problems in the general election ?
I don't mind anything as long as it causes maximum political damage to Liberals & Socialists who IMHO are showing anti democratic tendancies and have IMHO for some time.
Do politicians ever really pay. A lot seem to end up on tv or as after dinner speakers. Look at Ed Balls, Micheal Portillo er al.
I think there will be a third go at Mays deal , which might sneak through next week.
That's entirely possible . then the world has gone mad .
It maybe a tiny % of EU GDP, what % of EU contributions though?
Yes . we give NI more than the EU .

With 15 days to go, I still believe every conceivable option is still possible.

I'd assume, perhaps wrongly, that pretty much every corner of the UK outside London is a net recipient of funds?

NI gets about 9 Billion a year from UK government. Puts the 39 Billion over several years in perspective.
