For the British Conservatives could be a danger, says correspondent for the ARD Marquardt . Especially the right-wing populist parties hoped for a Renaissance.
NDR Info: of How seriously the British take the exit date of 31. October?
Jens-Peter Marquardt: you need to take the appointment at least so seriously, because now the participation in the elections to the EU Parliament is a serious danger. This is for the established parties, especially the Conservatives, a horror idea. Because you threaten there. Therefore, the 22 comes now. May to game. If the government and the Opposition, some yet to bring the agreement through the lower house, then the participation in the EU would remain the British parliamentary elections spared and you could for 1. June escape. Very likely, but it is not. Because both Conservatives and Labour are always at odds.
NDR Info: Will make use of the supporters and opponents of the Brexits this European election, to make a kind of second Referendum?
Marquardt: That could be. Above all, the right – wing populist parties want to experience-such as UKIP-which had almost disappeared in the woodwork, a Renaissance. Then there is also the re-establishment of Nigel Farage – the Brexit-party. Also could cut off the choice.
On the other hand, it would be a possibility for EU proponents to show: “Yes, we are engaged. We want the country to remain in the EU.” The people could then vote for parties committed to remaining in the EU, for example, the liberal Democrats. If the Labour has sorted party until then, it could also be a benefit for you.
