That's interesting but not particularly relevant here. The EU knows the cards that we hold; all the information about imports, exports, payments to the EU, EU nationals working in the UK, British soldiers deployed in Eastern Europe etc; it's all there in the public domain.
We know the EU needs time to get decisions from its 27 members so I cannot see the big deal in revealing what the UK Government wants, especially when the clock is ticking against us. I fear it's just been stalling by the UK Government whilst it seeks to get its own internal consensus and get a plan together. Why else wait so long?

There is never any threat of Brexit being overturned by Parliament. Look how comfortable that majority is. May should just allow a vote on Article 50 and recognise the importance of Parliament. |
Agreed. May's a politician's politician but has strong tendencies to over-control things. I think that's why this lamentable situation has arisen when she could simply have put it to a vote in Parliament and won it hands-down.
