The more preparations that are made, the less scary it is.īut don’t expect the EU or May to give in easily. That is a tremendous advantage for the no-deal option. That is, if no other agreement is reached, a no-deal brexit occurs. The default position is a no-deal brexit. A majority does not favor a Canada arrangement.A majority does is not in favor of a Norway option.A majority does not want a no-deal brexit.But she is doing everything she can to sow distrust.

That they struggle to reach 48 tells me that May would survive the vote, possibly strengthened. A simple majority of those 317 would oust May. It takes 15% to request a leadership challenge, thus 48. But someone I actually trust in all this tells me the 48 letters threshold for no-confidence vote In her by Tory MPs has been passed. I said on that predicting when goes is mug’s game. Instead, May insisted that was not the case.

She also stated numerous time that no deal is better than a bad deal before delivering a deal that smelled like rotten fish.May repeatedly promised a vote, then backed down at the very last second on a fool’s mission with the EU.The question is how.Īsked whether she had been told that the 48 letters to trigger a no-confidence motion in her as Conservative leader had been received, May said: “No, I have been here in Europe dealing with the issue I have promised parliament I would be dealing with.” Long and frank discussion with PM ahead of #Brexit summit.

And, after his meeting with May, Donald Tusk, the president of the European council, stressed how difficult it would be for the EU to give May what she needed. Jean-Claude Juncker, the European commission president, and Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, both said the EU would not reopen the deal that has already been negotiated. Here’s the key headline of the day Merkel Tells May Deal Cannot Be Renegotiated Merkel Tells May Deal Cannot Be Renegotiated Theresa May met Merkel, Rutte, and Tusk in person. European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker: No.European Council President, Donald Tusk: No.May traveled to the Hague, Berlin and Brussels to seek EU support for concessions on the Brexit deal. You get the idea.Īfter failing to even hold a vote that she pledged to win, May went on a whirlwind EU tour to convince EU leaders to modify the Brexit agreement. Things aren’t going well for Theresa May today, yesterday, last week, last month, etc.
