In this regard, a group of parliamentarians from the same conservative party in May is seeking to modify the internal rules of this force in order to: call for a new vote of confidence against the Prime Minister, as reported The daily mail.

In the midst of an internal rebellion among conservatives because of Brexit, May had already been the subject of a vote of confidence in December 2018, which was 200 votes to 117, lower than expected difference between his supporters and that clearly showed that a third of his party does not trust him anymore.

The rules of procedure of the conservative party prohibit another vote of confidence less than 12 months after the last, parliamentarians who mobilize this new attempt must gather 10,000 signatures from among its members then change the rules.

David Davis, former secretary of Brexit who resigned from his post in July 2018 due to disagreements with May's government, said at the BBC who is waiting the pressure on the prime minister "could increase considerably from now on". "If it leads to something, who knows?", He added.

For May, at noon, he explains to Parliament why he has accepted such a long extensionbadured Wednesday of Brussels that regretted the "frustration" that the new extension agreementsthis time until October 31st with a revision in June, while it was expected that May 22, could cause the British.

The new extension has a particular complication since means that the United Kingdom must participate in the elections of the members of the European Parliament to be held on 23 May, possibly by choosing parliamentarians their seats will disappear if Brexit finally materializes and they will have to vote on block issues while they are almost out.

For Davis, this means that the elections will become, for the United Kingdom, a new plebiscite on Brexit, as called for by the defenders of permanence in the EU.

"We could already be outside the European Union if there had been support from Parliament" British to the exit agreement, defended in May at the end of the European summit on Wednesday and questions about whether it will be this time of the latest Brexit expansion, according to the agency AFP.

Conservative politics stressed that its goal is not to use any extension until the fall, otherwise "reach an agreement for an orderly exit as soon as possible."

"If an agreement is reached and the legal obligations can be ratified by 22 May, we can leave without having to organize European elections ", He stressed the possibility that the UK was released in June.

May wanted to point out that as long as his country would stay in the EU "keep the rights and obligations" to belong to the community bloc, and that, in any case, the extension agreed upon with its members "entails no more constraints than the obligations laid down in the Treaties".

The British Prime Minister also noted that although he "a clear timetable" of departure, does not badume that it will be "simple" to lift the "blockade" in the House of Commons. "But as politicians, we must listen to the mandate of the referendum and act so that the country can go ahead," he said.

The United Kingdom approved in June 2016 the departure of the EU in a referendum in which the "yes" obtained 51,89% of the votes and the "no" 48,11%, with a 72.21% stake.
