I am not.
Your assertion that Johnson's government cannot - if it wants - alter the end date of the transition period is simply false.
I think from the fact that you don't know how the UK parliament works and seem unable to understand how you are contradicting yourself that that would be for the best.
Really? A little over 15 minutes ago you didn't know whether Scotland would be able to meet the same membership criteria as other member states and now you're somehow able to say that Scotland can adjust its spending to meet EU rules - despite being unaware of it before I pointed it out.
That is a really odd but unsurprising conclusion to reach.
Congratulations you managed to make a post without resorting to making stuff up that I wasn't talking about.
You are indeed correct that there is no such thing in the UK's system. I previously googled it and obviously checked the wrong thing, woops my bad.
Ps.
Do your self a favor and reread the conversation, note how I no where imply that the Benn Act is still in effect. I merely used it as an example of a thing that happened in the past that forced the PM to act against his own wishes.
You seem to have completely missed that, several times now.

Thank you!
The Benn Act - or any other Act for that matter - is completely irrelevant. The reason it forced Johnson to act against his wishes was not because laws cannot be altered, amended, repealed or that any of this requires a two-thirds majority but because Johnson did not have a working majority to do any of those things.
He does now and if he needs to do any of the above he is perfectly able to.
I haven't missed anything out. You don't understand what you're talking about.
That's a really tame hive, want to know what people in the UK really think? Check out the comments from the bong for brexit crowdfunding campaign as we all come together and look forward to celebrating this joyous occasion. Half way to the half a million quid needed in just 2 days...

13/11/2022 Sir Keir Starmer. "Brexit is safe in my hands, Let me be really clear about Brexit. There is no case for going back into the EU and no case for going into the single market or customs union. Freedom of movement is over"
Actually that doesn't seem like a very successful campaign frankly given the number of large donors and the exposure they got.
I'm tempted to start a campaign to blast the anthem of the European Union out of a sound system mounted on multiple vehicles and I'm fairly certain there are enough affluent remainers who would support that. Not that I really care either way I would just love to see the spluttering faces of all the old farts who voted for this shit.
So TLDR me: is it May's deal in 9 days for real now, or another extension?
Boris's deal within 11 days or who knows what happens.
Technically possible that Parliament forces Boris to ask for yet another extension but considering the new makeup of the Commons I consider that unlikely.
Note that the deal has already passed the House of Commons and is currently in the House of Lords, they may make some suggestions for changes that the Commons can implement or vote down before the Lords cast the final vote. I don't think they are expected to vote it down tho.

And Boris's deal is basically the same as May's right? Soft Brexit to avoid hard Irish border?
When challenging a Kzin, a simple scream of rage is sufficient. You scream and you leap.

Boris's deal puts a Hard(ish) border in the Irish Sea, effectively placing Northern_Ireland outside the UK to avoid a problem with the Good Friday Agreement.
Its a full separation from the EU and allows for the UK to diverge heavily from EU trade regulations because it will be separated from the EU market by the border in the Irish Sea.
