resignation Six weeks before the EU-the UK has had to contend with Prime Minister Theresa May on Thursday a new Brexit-defeat in Parliament. The MPs voted in London with 303 to 258 votes against a draft resolution, which should confirm both a mandate for renegotiation on Brexit Deal as well as a rejection of the EU-exit without an agreement.
at the end of January, the deputies May had given the order, the Brussels agreement to negotiate. The Prime Minister had put to the astonishment of Brussels, behind the application, and thus went on cozying up to the Brexit-hard-liners. But it happens to be on Valentine’s day, the Flirt is now coming to an end. The Brexit-hardliners failed May the followers.
stumbling block was that at the same time, a further decision of the Parliament should be confirmed from the first round of voting, the rejection of a Brexits without agreement, with chaotic consequences for the economy and many other areas of life. Although the vote had no binding effect, would not some of Brexit-a Hardliner to the support.
Thus the credibility of the government wanes boss, but to get a majority in favour of a Brexit-agreement in the Parliament. May wants to wrest the EU legally binding Changes to the Brexit Treaty, although Brussels is not ready for it.
the leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn criticised May’s sharp that she was not in the vote in the early evening. The President of the house of Commons, John Bercow, stressed that she was not obliged to do so.
“This is a Valentine’s day massacre for the government and a damning verdict on the Brexit Plan to the Prime Minister,” said the Labour MP David Lammy, who is in favour of a second Brexit Referendum.
The Pro-EU Rebellin Anna Soubry from the ruling Conservative party, said after the vote: “This is an absolute fiasco.” Great Britain become a laughing stock of the world.
Rebellion of the EU-friendly members
For May, the defeat is a further humiliation. Once again, is completely open, for what Brexit course would be a majority in the hopelessly divided Parliament. The risk of a disorderly Brexits (No Deal), this increases further.
on To the next Showdown in the dispute on the EU exit, it is likely on 27. February come. Then May want to leave it again on the further steps to vote. It will be already the third round of voting since the defeat for Mays Brexit Deal in the lower house.
Should the head of government also, until then, not a majority, threatened with a Rebellion of the EU-friendly members. A cross-party group of parliamentarians trying to force May to Move of leaving the EU, in order to prevent a No-Deal-Brexit.
Further discussions with EU
the UK will already be at 29. In March, the community of States to leave. In mid-January, the Parliament had rejected the of May with the EU, Brexit, has negotiated agreements with an overwhelming majority. When the Parliament again on the Deal to vote on, is still unclear.
