– A avtalslös Brexit is now just 30 days away. Countless economists have warned that this can have disastrous consequences for the british economy, and in the government there are several ministers including the influential minister Amber Rudd – who had demanded that Theresa May now exclude this scenario. Mays announcement on Tuesday should be viewed primarily as a part of her fight to calm these ministers and avoid a serious crisis in government.
” Not necessarily. Theresa May believes that it is still possible to get to a new skilsmässoavtal in time to the exit on 29 march. But in order to reassure parliament and the growing number of rebellious ministers in the government, she went on Tuesday to set up a definite deadline for the negotiations.
– If no deal has been voted through the parliament on 12 march, members shall take a position on a avtalslös Brexit following day (13 march). If it becomes no to a ”no deal” – which most indications are right now – to the parliament in a third vote on 14 march to get the vote of ”a brief, temporary delay” of the EU-exit.

– Under the condition that the EU agrees on it – which is not entirely obvious – there is no outer limit. But Theresa May warned on Tuesday that if the resignation takes place after June 30, should the Uk participate in the elections to the EUROPEAN parliament in may. ”What message would it send to the more than 17 million voters who voted to leave the EU for now close to three years ago?” asked May.
– the Answer to that question is that many britons would experience it as another absurd turn in the ongoing Brexitdramat. But there is also a stronger public opinion to hold a referendum on the new about EU membership. Theresa May dismisses the idea, but Labourledningens notice on Monday that it now supports a new referendum allows such no longer looks quite unlikely. It, in turn, makes that uncertainty about the Uk’s exit from the EU increases further.
