TEHRAN, June 18 -Rebels inside the UK’s ruling Conservative Party can bring down Prime Minister Theresa May if she insists on keeping Members of Parliament (MPs) out of the Brexit process, says the former British attorney general.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Rebels inside the UK’s ruling Conservative Party can bring down Prime Minister Theresa May if she insists on keeping Members of Parliament (MPs) out of the Brexit process, says the former British attorney general.
“We could collapse the government,” Dominic Grieve, himself a rebel, said when asked by BBC on Sunday if the rebellion could bring down the government by undermining May’s bill to withdraw the UK from the European Union (EU).
“And I can assure you I wake up at 2am in a cold sweat thinking about the problems that we have put on our shoulders. The difficulty is that the Brexit process is inherently risky,” he added.
The comments came ahead of another crucial week for the May’s Brexit bill in the parliament. The government is trying to insert an amendment to make sure nothing can stop May after striking a deal with the EU by March 2019, when the two sides run out of time to negotiate a deal.
This would also allow May to walk away from the talks and complete a no-deal Brexit, as she has threatened time and again.
