BREXIT UK HAS TO MARCH 31ST 2017 OR EU CAN VETO IT

At the moment, Article 50 allows an EU Member State to secede from the Union by giving two years notice to the relevant authorities.

However, as from March 31st 2017 – a date just nine months away next weekend – Article 50 will be subject to the dreaded Qualified Majority Vote (QMV)…that is to say, we will have to persuade a total of 14 EU Member States to support our decision to leave.

A number of seemingly random events over the last five days now appear to form some kind of pattern.

Cameron resigns but delays triggering Article 50
Back in 2010, the EU rule was we could leave if we applied Article 50, or repealed the European Communities Act 1972. These two caveats still apply, but only till 31st March 2017, after which date these two pieces of legislation will require a QMV.
Boris Johnson calls a press conference to say there is “no need for haste” on Article 50
Michael Gove endorses Johnson’s view
The VoteLeave group freezes UKIP/Nigel Farage out of discussions about the process of Brexit
The Blairite wing of Labour moves swiftly against Jeremy Corbyn, whom they know full well is in reality deeply suspicious of the EU
The EC wakes up to the game plan, and Merkel suggests UK be given “as much time as possible” to decide when to trigger Article 50.
One doesn’t have to be a rabbit-hole conspiracist to suspect a unified Establishment strategy to dilute and even negate what 52% of the electorate voted for five days ago.
