Revoke Article 50: MPs are gradually moving towards cancelling Brexit
Even senior members of May's government are starting to talk about cancelling Brexit by revoking Article 50.
More than 6 million people have signed an official government petition calling for it to be revoked.
Senior MPs say there would be a House of Commons majority for doing it in order to avoid no-deal.
Once a fringe cause, the idea of revoking Article 50 - the legal process through which Britain is due to leave the EU - is quickly becoming mainstream, with a record six million people recently signing a petition in favour of it.
After two years of bitter negotiations with the EU and total legislative deadlock in the UK parliament, the thought of simply calling the whole thing off is now increasingly being raised, even by senior members of May's government.
On Tuesday the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, reportedly raised the prospect of MPs voting to revoke Article 50 rather than allow Britain to leave without a deal if May's request for a delay is rejected.
Another MP, who recently quit May's government, told Business Insider this week that while revoking Article 50 was "unpalatable" for many MPs and wasn't "the best way out of this situation," it would be supported by a majority of MPs if the country was hours away from leaving the EU without a deal, and left with no other alternative. "It's the ultimate backstop," they said.
If the Brexit impasse continues and MPs fail to agree on a Brexit plan, it might just become the only option left.

It is on 4 threads, the two I started as it was relevant to both, and the two regarding the petition that I didn't start. Why people started a further two on the petition I don't know, that was obviously their choice, and they wont get criticism from me. Although I wouldn't necessarily see the point in starting a number of identical threads.
