If the UK wants more time, they should just revoke article 50 and then activate it again later on. I don't understand this whole "will the EU grant an extension?" business.

They can't just revoke article 50 to only reenact it later on. A retraction of article 50 would have to be in good faith. A European court came to that conclusion.

The Brexiteers are very aware that their win was narrow and they will never be given another chance. If it's revoked it will stay dead.
