TEHRAN, Mar 17 - British Prime Minister Theresa May is rallying support for her Brexit deal, warning that any other deal would involve “a much longer extension.”
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Her comments were published in an article in the Sunday Telegraph.
“If the proposal were to go back to square one and negotiate a new deal, that would mean a much longer extension – almost certainly requiring the United Kingdom to participate in the European Parliament elections in May,” she said.
“The idea of the British people going to the polls to elect MEPs three years after voting to leave the EU hardly bears thinking about. There could be no more potent symbol of parliament’s collective political failure.”
Britain and the European Union are stock in political gridlock in the wake of London’s decision to exit the bloc.
But British lawmakers rejected May’s plan to keep close relations with the EU while leaving the bloc’s formal structures in a 230-149 vote on March 12.
With Brexit due in 15 days and no divorce deal yet approved, the House of Commons has also voted 413-202 to put off Brexit until at least June 30 instead of the scheduled exit date of March 29.
