Is it legally possible to cancel Brexit? I know that Tony Blair seems to think that it is. I suspect that he thinks so because Article 50 does not specifically mention the ability to rescind the triggering of said Article once it has been........erm triggered. Sorry for the messy syntax.

And then there's the consequences of cancelling Brexit. Not just in terms of domestically within the UK, I'm thinking more in terms of the EU itself and how we would be viewed and treated if we said:

"Sorry, we messed up. We still love you really and want you to take us back. Please, pretty please."

I'm being a tad facetious here because of all the references to divorce.

For full disclosure, I've always been a bit of an EU sceptic (actually, I've been a lot of an EU sceptic) but, I voted Remain.

@room101 I don't agree with that, the queen passed art 50 and if it was stopped the country would be in chaos..or civil war.."the eu would punish us and it would cost us a fortune...it won't happen, the eu want a deal as much as us...

@Platinum I'm confused. What don't you agree with exactly?

The EU wanting a deal has nothing to do with our legal ability to cancel Brexit.

@room101 legally possible to cancel brexit...not saying it can't be done, the way we are being shafted by May, I'm sure if her latest agreement is voted against by Parliment then she will say then we will remain...this has been her plan all along ...

@room101 I'm also a euro sceptic remainer. EU bad, Brexit is worse is the simple analysis
