General Discussion
There are in in certain quarters that the government has cocked up the departure of this country leaving the E.U.
at 11pm 29th March, The law was made and passed this was the date in parliament it was made law.
Now from little I understand Teresa May did not go back to Parliament to have the law changed to have more
extensions.Curious that there is a total news blackout on this subject by the media. It would also account for the
E.U. to wanting to get new referendum done hopefully with a new result as soon as possible.As it could be alleged
or argued the new extensions are null and void. Leave Means Leave.
No we have not left the EU.
The law was amended.
Exit Day
The two Article 50 extensions have required that Statutory Instruments be laid by the Government to change “exit day” as defined by the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018. This can be done under the Act to align it with any new exit date agreed with the EU. Following a Government amendment introduced during the passage of the Cooper Bill, the eventual Act (the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2019), amended the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 so that any regulations that change “exit day” will no longer require approval by both Houses under the draft affirmative procedure. Instead, the Government may make regulations subject only to annulment by either House. This procedure was followed on 11 April for the extension agreed the previous day.

Once we get Boris installed as PM the exit day will not be far off. Treason May's efforts to thwart Brexit have failed.
The tories have to have a majority in parliament first, and from where I am standing, that is not likely to happen, before anyone in the party can become PM. Don't forget you have Brexit waiting in the wings and it could be Nigel that gets that honour.
Boris Johnson failing to appeal to floating voters needed to win election, according to Tory polling guru
