In a BBC radio interview, UK Prime Minister Theresa May tried to play down the chance of delaying the December 11, Tuesday, Brexit vote in the parliament. And she added what she’s doing is leading up to the vote, rather than talking about delaying it.
May said that there are three options for the MPs. The first one is leaving EU with a deal, that is her deal. Second is leading EU with no deal. And the final one is having no Brexit at fall. She also insisted that if the deal is voted down, it’s up for those who opposed to propose a plan B.
Separately, the European Court of Justice said it will deliver the judgement, on December 10 at 0800GMT, on whether UK can unilaterally reverse Brexit. That would be a day ahead of the scheduled UK parliamentary vote. Earlier this week, ECJ’s advocate general said that UK has the right to withdraw Brexit notice unilaterally, up to the point of formal conclusion of the deal. It’s generally expected, while not binding, ECJ will follow the advocate’s opinion.
