Apr 14, 2019 at 16:41 comment added Denis de Bernardy @eggyal: indeed, but the fact remains there's a provision to that effect in the agreement -- just in case.
Apr 14, 2019 at 16:39 comment added eggyal The obligation to hold E.U. Parliamentary elections remains enshrined in domestic law until a withdrawal act is enacted. Even a PM who wished to do otherwise would likely have their hand forced by the courts.

Regarding your second question, I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I'd gather this would make an interesting separate question.
Apr 12, 2019 at 10:09 comment added P Varga Sorry got confused with that date. Tusk just said June, not the 31st. Can a member state veto sanctions against itself? Also, could a Brexiteer PM unilaterally "trigger" no-deal, or would the EU need to approve a no-deal exit date?

Apr 12, 2019 at 9:56 comment added Denis de Bernardy @ᆼᆺᆼ: No, he's right. June 31st isn't a cliff edge at all. If the UK makes it that far the only scenario it would get pushed out is if EU members are fed up with it and the UK (which would still be a full member) doesn't veto the EU kicking the UK out of the EU. The only possible cliff-edge before Oct 31st would be June 1st, and that would occur only if the UK doesn't participate in the EU elections (which is extremely unlikely, since they're being organized).
Apr 12, 2019 at 9:51 comment added P Varga Donald Tusk said that It must be clear that June 31st is not a cliff-edge, but I guess he was wrong..
