How weird is Brexit looking?

hi electropura
I felt so and have no reason to change my mind.
here copied this to save repeating it!
[b]The two-year clock in Article 50 controls the entire negotiation: Any member of the 28-nation bloc that triggers it is automatically ejected from the EU with or without a deal after two years. It can only avoid the two-year deadline if it agrees to a humiliating reversal or obtains a highly unlikely extension to the negotiation period. (The law is currently unclear on whether Article 50 is irrevocable.)
The most important thing is that the EU has no interest in giving Britain a good deal. Quite the opposite: The EU is incentivised to demonstrate to other European countries that exiting EU leaves you in a worse position than staying inside it. So it is actually to the EU's advantage to not negotiate at all, and just let the UK flop out of the EU with no deal. "No deal" is the least advantageous position for Britain, because it comes with no formal access to the European market.
Once Article 50 is triggered, the EU can run out the two-year clock, until Britain is ejected in a "hard Brexit" without any of its demands or requests being met.[/b]
best wishes
