Theresa May, after another defeat: "This government will continue to press for an orderly Brexit"

"The consequences of the decision of the House are serious. Now the fault It is legal for the UK to leave the EU on April 12in just 14 days. Time is running out to legislate and ratify an agreement, although the House has made it clear that it would not allow an exit without agreement. She will have to find another way to continue, "said Theresa May immediately after the rejection of the House of Commons, your proposal for a divorce from Europe.

Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who for the third time opposed the London-Brussels pact for the third time, asked May if "he will finally accept that the deputies do not support his agreement. ". The opposition leader insisted that May must accept "we must leave", not in "an undetermined future date, but already".

But May gave signs that he wanted to continue. "This government will continue to push for an orderly Brexit, as required by the referendum result (from 2016), "he said.

The Chair again expressed her frustration at the lack of a resolution from Parliament. "This House will continue its work on Monday to determine if there is a stable majority for an alternative version of our future relations with the EU.Of course, any other option will require an exit agreement. I'm afraid we are reaching the limit of this process in this chamber, who rejected an exit without agreement, denied the absence of Brexit, rejected Wednesday all the variants of the pact and today rejected the exit agreement separately in order to continue the process at the same time. Future ".

May explained that in the absence of an exit agreement, the country will have to request a further postponement of the deadline. "The EU has made it clear that any other extension should have a clear purpose and should be approved by the 27 other state leaders. This would almost certainly mean that the United Kingdom will participate in the European legislative elections (May 26). "

Given the imminence of a break without agreement, Donald Tusk, President of the European Council, convened an emergency summit, just a week after the last one. It will be April 10, two days before the Brexit deadline.

The official tried to convince the legislators that only the withdrawal text was put to the vote and not the subsequent political declaration, which was to remain for later. But it was not enough.

It has not reached either the Prime Minister's commitment to resign if the pact is approved, to let another leader lead the process to the next instance. May wanted to benefit from the extension granted by the community bloc for May 22. For that, it was imperative that the agreement of today be approved.

The UK will have time until this first day to request another postponement, in order to continue negotiations on Brexit in order to reach a more concrete plan. If the EU refuses the non-proposal request from the British side, that day, the country will be out of the block in a chaotic manner.

From Monday, the House of Commons will again debate alternative ways of agreeing to leave the EU. But nobody is too optimistic: Wednesday, they discussed eight projects and none reached the majority.

"By accepting the withdrawal agreement, we will clearly and accurately define our exit from the EU"Had stated Cox at the beginning of the debate.
