BRUSSELS (AP) — British Prime Minister Theresa May says her Brexit divorce deal with the European Union is still “the best deal that is negotiable,” as she aimed to win Parliament’s support.
In a stinging statement Monday to the House of Commons, May reminded lawmakers that any Brexit deal would require compromise.
She then asked whether or not the House of Commons really wanted to deliver Brexit — and if it was willing to re-open the political division within the country by challenging the 2016 vote of the British people to leave the bloc.
May’s comments came after she postponed the vote in parliament on her EU divorce deal, acknowledging she would have lost Tuesday’s vote by a “significant margin.” The decision throws her Brexit plans into chaos.
The terms of exit that were voted on in the referendum were a fraud created with the help of Russian agents, Now that the real terms are known, the people must have their say-it’s not to late for a legitimate referendum with the real-world options clearly laid out.
You’re just delaying the inevitable, Prime Minister.
Arron Banks, Nigel Farage, Cambridge Analytica, Steve Bannon, Tom Barrack - y’all got some 'splainin to do, comrades…
I still find it utterly bizarre and baffling that UK politics have not effectively sorted into pro-Brexit and anti-Brexit parties on the eve of the most important single vote in at least a generation.
It’s like if you got a 60/40 vote from the [Party A] and 50/50 from [Party B] in the House to impeach [Party B President]. Like… how can you get up to 50/50 in B without near-unanimous support from A?
And Brexit is way more consequential than a mere US impeachment.
Doing a big thing badly. Exhibit A.
