According to the British media, the long-awaited vote will take place at the end of a five-day debate. According to Guardian data, this is the result of a letter sent Monday by Torys parliamentary director Julian Smith to conservative MPs.
It will therefore remain about two weeks in May to convince their own members of the "Brexit" agreement. The success of this initiative, however, is more than open now: dozens of his conservative colleagues are against the agreement. Even the Northern Ireland party DUP, whose minority government depends on Mays vote, does not want to support the deal.
"There is a choice that must respect this house"
May informed MEPs of the agreement in Brussels late Monday afternoon and again asked for approval of the agreement approved by the EU. May also stressed that the future of the UK is now in the hands of MEPs. "There is a choice that must respect this house, we can support this agreement (…), or this House can choose to reject this agreement and return to the starting point," said May during his speech accompanied by many interjections.
Undoubtedly, May said that a better deal was out of the question. In a rejection, according to May, no one knows what will happen. According to the head of government, there is no doubt that the door will open to more division and more insecurity, with all the risks that entails.
Green light in Brussels
Heads of state and government from the remaining 27 EU countries agreed on Sunday. In addition to the British Parliament, the "Brexit" agreement must also be ratified by the EU Member States. The withdrawal agreement was drafted after 17 months of difficult negotiations between Brussels and London. It is planning a transition phase until the end of 2020 after the exit of the EU, scheduled for late March 2019, during which Britain will remain in the EU's single market. EU and in the customs union.
Chaos warning
Even before May's appearance in the UK parliament, Deputy Prime Minister David Lidington warned of chaos and should not find a majority in Parliament for "Brexit". "Businesses and markets would be very hostile if the deal failed, there is no guarantee that we will find a stable way out of this situation."
According to Lidington, the government is seeking a bipartisan majority as wide as possible in Parliament. "We'll see how the majority will end," said Lidington to the German "Handelsblatt": "All deputies, whether Conservative, Labor, Scottish Nationalist or Liberal Democrats," according to Lidington, think of the interest national.
"Act of National Self-Injury"
According to observers, the prime minister is now in campaign mode as before the parliamentary elections. Until the vote, in the United Kingdom, many public appointments were held to promote the agreement and at the same time increase the pressure on the lower house. According to a report from the Telegraph, she is even considering a televised duel with Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
At the same time, Corbyn strongly opposed the agreement on "Brexit" on Monday and called on the British parliament to reject the treaty titled "National Self-Injury". MEPs have "no choice but to reject this agreement," as the union leader also said.
Agreement, no agreement or new referendum?
In the face of widespread rejection, the media speculate that the government has been secretly waiting for a long time for defeat. Therefore, a second vote is already planned, which could allow enough members to withdraw. It could also contribute to a collapse of the financial markets, if parliamentarians first crossed their fingers before the agreement, it is speculation. But will the markets react as expected if a second vote is already predictable? The danger of political chaos in London this year does not seem to be banished.
According to May and the EU, there should be no renegotiation in Brussels. May reiterated in this context, again and again, that there will be either agreement reached or a disorderly exit from the EU. If May can not prevail with his agreement, appears in addition to a new election meanwhile, however, a recent referendum on the "Brexit" is no longer a completely excluded option.
