This whole thing is absurdly embarrassing for a country of our size and history. 27 other nations deciding if they should grant us an extension while we're outside the room powerless. Luxembourg could veto us and we're currently depending on the Germans and Irish to convince the French. We were a senior member of this club until now.
This is the brutal reality of Brexit. What technically sounds like being in control of our own destiny and regulations is, in fact, fitting in with the wishes and wants of larger trading blocs like the US, China, India and the EU.
