It's more that the country doesn't want no deal, not that it wants an extension.

If, as the EU keep saying, the backstop must stay or exist in a manner acceptable to them (HA), it seems to me that they themselves are forcing the 'no deal'.
Of course, it must be said that the EU wouldn't want a deal that grants the UK any favours, but their only alternatives seem to be either a no deal or a half baked excuse of a deal that's not even a deal people want.
anyway, back to the second half . . .  |
The UK was tasked with finding a workable alternative to the backstop agreed with Theresa May. Remember, this was significantly different from the EU's original suggestion of a NI-only backstop. How workable the UK's suggestions are will be evaluated now.
