Why would they?

Once we have left, can I ask how long you honestly think the EU will continue? Surely others will follow suit?

Even those outside the EU have banded together. EFTA (norway, iceland, lichtenstein and switserland) was approached by the UK to join. They didn't want you. Out you stay.
It will be lonely this christmas.

It's a Thursday Squire, you'll all be at work the next day, we'll be celebrating Freedom Day our new national holiday.

It was easy to fool brexiters in 2016. It's still easy now.
All that Barclay has done is to bring into force section 1 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (EUWA). It says that: “The European Communities Act 1972 is repealed on exit day.” However, the effect of bringing section 1 into effect is decidedly modest. Most importantly — and, given the wording of the section, obviously — bringing that provision into force does not immediately repeal the ECA: rather, it only repeals it on “exit day”. “Exit day” is currently defined by section 20(1) of the Act as 31 October. But other provisions in section 20 enable the definition of “exit day” to be amended if the date of the UK’s departure from the EU changes under EU Law. Indeed, this is precisely what happened when extensions to the Article 50 period were agreed between the UK and the European Council in the spring.

There is no legal reason why this could not happen again — and, crucially, bringing section 1 of the EUWA into force makes absolutely no difference to this point. Whether section 1 is in force or not, it only produces legal effects from “exit day”. It follows that if, for example, Parliament were to require the Government to seek, and if the European Council were to grant, a further Article 50 extension, the definition of “exit day” could be further amended in order to ensure that the ECA was repealed only with effect from the new, later date of the UK’s departure from the EU. This, in turn, means that — contrary to his claim — the Brexit Secretary has not “set in stone” the repeal of the ECA. The EUWA explicitly contemplates that “exit day” can be changed in order to enable it to be aligned with the actual date of the UK’s departure from the EU

It's Allerheiligen, in large parts still no school etc, so long weekend. All the time in the world to say goodbye to you.
If you put a candle in your window, I will wave goodbye to you. I will light a purple lantern, so you know I am there.
