The last and desperate bet of May does not offer hope for brexit

Theresa May he made one last desperate attempt to gain approval for his brexit agreement in the British Parliament before being expelled from his post, but his efforts seem doomed to failure. In a hasty speech on Tuesday, the struggling Prime Minister promised MPs to vote on the opportunity to hold another referendum to ratify the bill. Britain's divorce from the European Union. It's something that many parliamentarians, including members of the opposition Labor Party, have asked for, but the condition was that they approve their agreement.

A few minutes after his speech, the reaction began. Brexit-minded Conservative MPs joined opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn and May's Irish allies to condemn their proposals. They vowed to vote against him in the House of Commons next month. The failure of the May agreement would plunge the UK into a new wave of confusion and uncertainty. The result of Brexit would be almost impossible to predict, as May's successor, as Conservative leader and prime minister, will have the task of completing the process.

Leaving the EU without an agreement, or even staying in the block, could be an option once the month of May is gone. Boris Johnson, who said he'd be ready to leave without agreement, is the favorite in the race for unofficial leadership. Johnson rushed against May's latest shot, as did his rival, Dominic Raab.

The May bid may represent the last effort of a prime minister short of options. Nearly three years after the UK voted in favor of leaving the EU, the May deal was rejected three times by the parliament. His party is preparing for a defeat in Thursday's European elections, a vote in which the UK should not participate and was forced to do so by the late brexit.

May promised to submit its approval, in the form of a bill, to a vote in Parliament in the first week of June. In the face of overwhelming demands for resignation, the prime minister promised to agree on the timing of his departure after the vote was over. Unless there is a political miracle, May is heading towards a humiliating end to her career.

"I've tried everything to find the way," May told an audience in central London. "I offered to give up work that I like before I wish it." The prime minister said that even though negotiations between the parties with the Labor Party had failed, the majority of MPs still wanted the results of the 2016 referendum.
