LONDON (Reuters) – The The British Parliament will vote against the eventual "Brexit" of Prime Minister Theresa May. Voters should therefore submit to a new referendum, announced Monday the former May Minister of Education.

When asked if there was a chance that May's plan could be passed by Parliament, Justine Greening, who pleaded for the maintenance of the European Union, replied "no ".

"I think it's the worst of all worlds," Greening told BBC radio. "This leaves us with less influence, less control over the rules we have to follow and … less credibility as a country of the world, because they would see that we would be ready to make a bad deal and that we should not need to do that. "

She added that Parliament was likely to reject "no agreement" at the same time as voting against the May proposal and that another referendum with the British should be organized according to three options: the May agreement, the maintenance of the conditions of the World Trade Organization or the maintenance of the EU.
