Just like the FTL rules at EASA that we got thanks to the UK CAA their campaign
Just in case you missed it PuraVida:
the British politicians knew about the rules of Article 50 from day one as their civil servants wrote it! From DAY 1 it was clear that there were 6 scenario's... AND that there was no negotiations as such except on details. So go back to your politicians and ask them to stop lying to you and the press to do a better job in explaining a very clear SOP for leaving the EU. Pick one of the six scenarios and bugger off!
If I may, a small correction; British civil servants did not write it, and Lord Kerr did not draft article 50, it was Guiliano Amato, the Ex President of Italy, and a lawyer (Kerr is a diplomat) who drafted the article.
Kerr was part of the team involved in that drafting that part of the Lisbon Treaty, but not the final drafter.
You are correct however about the utter lack of knowledge of the procedures and meanings of Article 50.
