They have yet to establish what is in their interests and will agree this next week among the leaders of the Member States, not the Commission or negotiators.
I’m sure much discussion will be around the potential of May’s government falling. Arguably the EU have nothing to lose with an unlimited extension, we are paying in money as long as we are in.
Insisting on the 23rd May is quite a good strategy. If we want the 30th June we have to have elections, and having done so an indefinite delay is a possibility.
30th June without elections will have some rhetoric around “not had elections, we must leave” which the EU would seek to avoid.
Similar to the 29th March, having elections is another mark that has to be passed in the heads of the most passionate Brexiteers to dilute their position.
