Re: Morally binding what though?
"However the fact that the author himself suggests that it's reversible weights quite a lot with me"
Well I can see how the author can suggest that an invocation of Article 50 could be reversed. However, from my reading of Article 50, the only sure way explicitly allowed for in the text is for the "Withdrawal arrangements" to be no withdrawal for an indefinite period, with the unanimous agreement of the European Council and the Member State (the UK in this instance).
As for a unilateral withdrawal of notification...
Thinking further, I wonder if the EU might actually like to have the UK dangling in a protracted Article 50 limbo, that gets extended every few years..., since whilst the UK is subject to Article 50, it can't participate in the European Council (Article 50 clause 4) and can be kept in line by not agreeing to renew the extension...
