Brexit
PM mai - No-deal #Brexit mai bun decât oferta actuală a UE
Prime Minister Theresa May signalled this week that she would prefer a ‘no-deal’ Brexit to the offer currently put forward by the European Union, stressing that Britain needs to see counter-proposals from the EU to move Brexit negotiations forward, scrie William James.
“I’ve always said no deal is better than a bad deal. I think a bad deal would be a deal that broke up the United Kingdom,” May said when asked whether a no-deal Brexit was better than one similar to the existing Canada-EU trade deal.
Her spokesman said later that May was specifically referring to the type of deal the EU is currently offering on future trade, which Britain believes will split England, Wales and Scotland from Northern Ireland by insisting Northern Ireland adhere to different customs rules.
Her position also effectively rules out alternative Brexit proposals put forward by rebel eurosceptic members of her own party, which are based on a wide-ranging free trade agreement similar to that agreed between the EU and Canada.
Last week, May issued an angry edict to Brussels when a summit of EU leaders that had been billed as a chance to generate momentum towards a deal in October or November ended in a blunt dismissal of British proposals.
“I think what he’s clarified is that there is hope and expectation and desire for a deal on the side of the European Union,” she said.
But May said the onus was still on the EU to break the deadlock on Chequers.
