Theresa May, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has formally approached the E.U. to ask them for a 90 day extension so they can get their shit together. It requires a formal vote of the E.U. and all 29 voting members must say yes to grant the extension.
The head honcho told the P.M. that they will probably approve the request, however that would probably only occur if the E.U. was presented with an actual PLAN by the U.K. to accomplish the "divorce" with some level of smoothness.
As I rap this out, about eight hours before the Spring Equinox, it is not clear that Parliament can accomplish this.
Nine days and counting people. Time to take care of business.

John Oliver on HBO has about a seven minute riff on this on this week's program, complete with some quotes from various MPs and actual footage of Parliament, which by law can not be broadcast in the U.K. but can be broadcast here. It is a freaking RIOT. I recommend it highly. Very rarely do you see a politician say, "This is a turd. It may be a polished turd, but it is still a turd. Still, it is the best that we've got."
