Barriers to the EU concluding any treaty are many, but recognition of a "government" representing the state is not one. The EU observes the expansive Artcle 7 VCLT definition if a state representative as does the UN.

Regarding conclusion of A.50, appointment of that agent by the PM of the day, acting instead of HRM, is a constitutional dilemma peculiar to the UK. (Guidance to the work of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Treaty Section) Parliamentary legislation partly precludes the full powers of the PM but not the monarch. Accordingly and irrespective of whomsoever forms HRM "government" and expresses "government" policy or enters agreements made by HRM and another state laid by it before parliament for approval, without HoC approval the agreement will not enter force.

Parliament has agreed multiple times not to approve the Withdrawal Agreement with the EU.

Parliament has agreed multiple times not to approve a general election or referendum (not binding on parliament by statute in any case). It is to this "anti-democratic" disposition of parliament that my remarks --as well as EU officers--are meant to draw attention of UKNs: The political "majority" of MPs seated express no intention to effect the WA and no "mandate" to enact an alternative to the TEU now or in future. Its purpose is redundant.

There is no "trick" waiting for change of "government" absent change in composition of the HoC willing and able to approve any "government" policy.

"If the UK leaves without a deal, all these questions will not disappear - they are still be there and need to be settled prior to a future relationship with the UK," Barnier told EU lawmakers.
