Without alternatives to Brexit of May | The vote fails …

British MPs failed yesterday in their attempt to find an alternative to Theresa May's unpopular agreement on Brexit, which gives the prime minister the opportunity to re-submit a rejected text three times. The House of Commons had proposed moving the process out of the deadlock it was in when it had already pbaded the initial date of Brexit – March 29, 2019 – and less than two weeks before the new limit imposed by Brussels to find a solution. April 12 So, after grabbing control of the parliamentary agenda last week to vote for alternative proposals, yesterday, on the second day of "indicative votes", four options were offered to him. It was to leave the bloc but to remain in a customs union with the European Union (EU), to keep the country in the European single market, to hold a second referendum or simply to cancel the whole process by the absence of an agreement. But none of them got more approvals than disapproval, as had been the case in the first round of talks last Wednesday.

"This is the second time the chamber has been thinking about options on the way forward and, again, it has found the majority for none of the proposals," said Brexit Minister Stephen Barclay . And he recalled that "in the absence of an agreement," the default legal position is that the UK leaves the European Union in just 11 days "brutally. He therefore called on MPs to adopt the negotiated text in May, which they have already rejected three times. "The government still thinks it's best to do it as soon as possible," he added. Frustrated by the inability of his Conservative MPs to make concessions to pull the country out of chaos, Nick Boles, one of the architects of these unsuccessful "indicative votes," announced in tears that he left the parliamentary group. The Council of Ministers will meet today to badyze this dramatic new turn and decide whether it is possible to request a fourth vote this week on the unpopular deal negotiated in May with Brussels, which parliamentarians rejected on Friday 12 and 15 March. of January. May runs a very divided Brexit government: "This is the worst example of indiscipline in the government of British political history," said Julian Smith, head of party discipline at the preservatives. May is desperate for a solution, since a summit convened on April 10 in Brussels must present his new projects to European leaders whose patience "runs out", according to the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker.
