What could have been a breath of fresh air and an opportunity to create a majority over the middle in the house of commons on the brexit issue is out in the sand.
Each of the eight proposals made by parliamentarians in the british house of commons was defeated on Wednesday night.
Prior to tonight’s vote on the alternative proposal for a brexitaftale, had in May promised to his departure.
– The straw that Theresa May had in the form of a promise to his departure, if her brexitaftale was voted through, also seems to fade out in the dark.
– It was clearly her last trump card she played, says Ole Helmersen, associate professor at CBS, with specialty in british politics.
Along with the result of tonight’s vote, leaving the Uk’s political system in an almost chaotic state, believe lektoren.
– It is hard to see how they should get out of this squeeze. It looks like a total collapse.
the Closest to reach a majority was a proposal that the united kingdom should seek an agreement to be in the EU customs union.
It would solve the major stumbling block in Mays agreement with the EU with the same.
– the Advantage of a customs union is that it solves the main problem with Theresa Mays appointment, there is a possible border between Ireland and northern Ireland.
But a number of meps have just voted no to the Mays deal, because they saw a risk that you would be tied up in the customs union. For when you are in the customs union, you accept that it is the EU that negotiates ftas on behalf of all countries.
– And it has been an essential element for many of the toughest brexit supporters, that Britain itself would have the possibility to enter into ftas.
the Evening’s votes were not legally binding, why the vote was seen as indicative.
