Another one who thinks Liar Johnson is lying about not extending.Not true - because...….………..
Once the EU recognise that there is a viable threat of a No-Deal outcome and the political will to use it - they may well enter more committedly into negotiations that lead to a framework being established that facilitates either:
a) the date being achieved with an agreed schedule of detail to be continued to be worked on, or
b) an acceptable delay is agreed to reach the above position - and the majority of the electorate will not see this as 'die in ditch' stuff - just as they apparently have not recently
It has of course - despite the denial on here - always been true that we would not see movement from the EU unless and until they are faced with the viable threat of a No-Deal outcome and the political will to use it.
It was pointed out in 2016 and frequently since - and recently proven to be 100% correct - it will still be true in 2020
You forgot one incentive the EU won't have. We've agreed they get the £39 billion even without a trade deal. And don't we keep paying contributions during transition? (£15 billion on the red bus figure or £8 billion if we got our rebate - or do we lose our rebate when we leave?)
