two weeks ago voted the british parliament the ‘ no ‘ with a historically large margin – to the utträdesavtal that the british government negotiated with the EU. Now they are 650 members to debate and take a position to the new negotiating strategy that Theresa May proposed – referred to as the “plan B”.
Seven different proposed ”addition” (amendments) of this plan B shall be debated and decided upon. In practice, it may lead to big changes and even tie the government – but it depends on which extensions that are voted in the fragmented parliament.
” this chamber has in recent weeks made it very clear what it does not want. Today we must send a clear message about what we actually want, ” said May when the debate began.
the Prime minister hopes to get as clear a mandate as possible from parliament ahead of upcoming talks with the EU on a possible renegotiation of the skilsmässoavtalet.
– With the help of the chamber’s weight, I am convinced that we can get the EU to make concessions, ” said Theresa May.
the Government are urging members to vote yes to a Tory-member Graham Brady add-ons. It would give May in the task to produce legally binding changes in the utträdesavtalet of the disputed our backup plan is going on the border of northern Ireland, which is broadly in line with the government’s own plan.
To the evening’s mangling leads to her bakbinds in a way that she herself does not wish to. Especially when a avtalslös Brexit 29 march excluded in one way or another – or that it becomes less likely.
– The only way to avoid a avtalslös Brexit is to conclude an agreement. Therefore, I want to return to Brussels with a clear message of what this parliament would want, ” said May.
What she didn’t said was that the british government appear to see the threat of a avtalslös, disorderly Brexit at the end of march as necessary in order to be able to push the EU to make concessions. If this weapon is turned out of Mays hand she is likely also that it will be impossible to unite the ruling Tory party.
No, Theresa May has the right to a avtalslös Brexit can only be avoided by concluding any type of agreement with the EU. The alternative is to not leave the EU at all.
But: it is possible to postpone the formal resignation a few months.
labour member Yvette cooper’s add-ons proposes to set aside the February 5 debate and decision on a specific proposal: that the government on 26 February must have received an authorisation by the parliament for a utträdesavtal. If this has not occurred then the british immediately submit an application for deferment of the EU-exit, referred to in the appendix.
For a postponement of the withdrawal shall be possible, is, however, required approval from the EU. It also applies to the changes in the utträdesavtalet that Graham Brady add-ons suggest. And so far, the EU has totally rejected to renegotiate the contract.
