In 1994, Switzerland and the EU started negotiations about a special relationship outside the EEA.
These negotiations resulted in a total of ten treaties, negotiated in two phases, the sum of which makes a large share of EU law applicable to Switzerland. The treaties are:
Bilateral I agreements (signed 1999, in effect 1 June 2002)
Free movement of people
Air traffic
Road traffic
Agriculture
Technical trade barriers
Public procurement
Science
Bilateral II agreements
Security and asylum and Schengen membership
Cooperation in fraud pursuits
Final stipulations in open questions about agriculture, environment, media, education, care of the elderly, statistics and services.

I accept we will be leaving but want the promised EU trade deal with a 2yr translation period...before we leave.
Remember we were promised by the Brexit leaders.....the easiest deal in history..(David Davies)

What happens in Parliament is usually up to the government of the day, so MPs would have to find a way to wrest control of the timetable.
Emergency debate
You might hear the phrase "SO24" over the next few weeks. This refers to Standing Order 24, the rule that allows MPs to ask for a debate on a "specific and important matter that should have urgent consideration".
These debates usually have no power to force action. But it would be possible to give them more teeth if House of Commons Speaker John Bercow allows amendments.
For example, MPs could try to take control of the timetable for a day, to try and force through a whole piece of legislation.
The new law could simply force the PM to request an extension to the Brexit deadline.
Theoretically, there is enough time for this.
Any new law has to pass through all stages of both Houses of Parliament. This would usually take weeks, but it could be done in as little as three days. This happened in April when Yvette Cooper managed to rush through a piece of legislation to force an extension.
But even if MPs managed to force it through in three days, they would probably have to allow for a day to secure and another day to hold the emergency debate. With as few as four sitting days before parliament is prorogued, this could be tight.

Yes... a decisive referendum vote like in 1975 is key to avoid a DISunited Kingdom lasting for generations

1975 EEC referendum turnout
With a national turnout of 64% the target to secure the majority win for the winning side was 12,951,598 votes. The decision by the electorate was a decisive 'Yes' to continued EC membership which won by a huge majority of 8,908,508 votes (34.5%) over those who had voted 'No' to reject continued membership.

Trumps most powerful supporter is the NRA.
Trump loves the NRA
The NRA promotes every massacre as a golden opportunity to increase gun sales to protect yourselves through mass advertising.
A vicious circle that the NRA and its' beneficiary TRUMP truly love.

Quite so , unfortunately the lemmings are being led by a lunatic in Downing Street under the influence of an even bigger lunatic in the White House!

Unfortunately sterling is irrelevant.
Everything is in dollars apart from the conversion of our dividend from dollars to sterling
GOLD sold in $, CEY accounts in $ so profits and dividends in $

Yeah thunder and lighting till 2am say the BBC in your location

Damn unlikely as it's never happened before.

From an English innings of 362 for 9
73 to win when the final man joined Stokes
Greatest inning EVER by an Englishman
The Australia fans are streaming to the exits. They are stunned.

Trump, his family and billionaire friends must be raking in their winning market bets.
Drain the swamp!!!

Earlier today, Donald Trump caused the Dow Jones Industrial Average to fall hundreds of points after he embarked on one of his most belligerent, unhinged rants to date. Furious that China had (predictably!) retaliated against the US with $75 billion in fresh tariffs, the president—whose election supposedly signaled a “rebirth of capitalism”—had a full on authoritarian meltdown. He tweeted that “our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China,” despite having no power to do so; demanded that they manufacture their products in the United States; claimed that the US is “better off” without the second largest economy in the world; and threatened to respond to China’s aggression with more tariffs this afternoon. Oh, and he also labeled the Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell, who Trump himself appointed, an “enemy” of America.

More to come, Trump retaliates
