“Deadline for October 31 is very crafty. In this case, the UK must hold elections to the European Parliament and then it will remain a full member of the EU, regardless of what it says. It can be imagined that she is holding elections, there is no voting in parliament on a positive agreement, October 31 is running out, the deadline is extended and it can be extended as long as you like. And after the elections are held, laborers are likely to come to power, who will simply cancel everything, ”said the expert.
According to Bruter, it’s not necessary to say that the proposal to extend the deadline “corresponds to the British line for leaving the European Union.”
“The proposal is supported by the British leadership only because it is at an impasse. Despite the fact that Teresa May says that she wants to leave the EU as soon as possible, she does not specify how. The Prime Minister may postpone the vote for as long as necessary; in this composition of the parliament she will not receive a positive decision on the agreement. So, the time to which it is transferred does not matter. It's just a misrepresentation of their own voters, ”he believes.
Earlier, Tusk said that before October 31, the UK has the opportunity to revise the strategy of Brexit.
