Prime Minister Theresa May announced Sunday that she will return to Brussels this week to define future relations between Britain and the EU – and that overthrowing would not facilitate negotiations.
After a tumultuous week in which the draft divorce agreement between London and the European Union was rejected by Parliament, May said the proposed withdrawal agreement would only be signed if the future agreement on the relations was satisfactory.
May said the coming week would be "critical" in the Brexit negotiations.
And while the Brexite supporters of her conservative center-right party want to replace him, she added that in the current state of affairs, they did not have the numbers to trigger a motion of censure.
"I will return to Brussels," May told Sky News, announcing that she would meet with European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker.
"This week, the focus will be on future relationships.
"We will not agree on departure … until we have what we want in the future relationship, because these two go together."
This could appease some of his firm's Brexiteers, who hinted Saturday that it was necessary to continue negotiations to keep them in the ranks.
May could face a vote of no confidence if at least 15% of conservative lawmakers – 48 MPs – submitted letters informing her that she had lost their support.
More than 20 people have publicly stated that they have done so.
When asked if figure 48 had been reached, May replied, "As far as I know, no.
"We will not be distracted.
"A change of direction at this stage will not facilitate negotiations and will not change parliamentary arithmetic."
She added that replacing him would create uncertainty and could delay negotiations and postpone the date of Britain's departure for the EU, set for March 29th.
– Problems in parliament –
On Thursday, four ministers resigned due to the draft Brexit withdrawal agreement, MPs hammered the document, saying it had no chance to move to Parliament, and Brexite scholars began submitting their letters. of censorship.
May leads a minority Conservative government and a Brexiteers group in her own party, the Northern Irish allies on which she and the opposition have pledged to vote against the draft agreement. .
The Brexiteers fear that the agreement will keep Britain chained in Brussels for years to come. EU supporters say he would leave the UK in even worse conditions than the group and call for a second referendum on Brexit to break the deadlock.
Asked what she would do if the vote was lost, May said, "Parliament will go through a process, and if the agreement is lost, the government will come back with its proposals for the next step."
She added that Left Labor opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn was "doing party politics" with Brexit.
"There are members in the House of Commons who just want to stop Brexit, I think it's essential for the trust of people in politics and parliament that we deliver Brexit," she said. added.
A majority of 52% voted for Britain to leave the European Union in the 2016 referendum.
